The sixth album from this artist from Great Britain.
Ian Neal did the guitars, piano, organ, keyboards and synths here.
Two guests added drums and backing vocals.
I have reviewed his previous albums and have liked them a lot. Hence I was looking forward to this album.
The Gemlike Flame clocks in at fifty minutes.
The music here is symphonic prog.
The music is majestic, bold, epic, melodic and slightly complex.
The most obvious reference here is Genesis. There are also some Pink Floyd references here too. There are also some neo-classical music influences here.
There are some long soaring pieces here which feel both sad and uplifting at the same time. Pieces of music that are great.
The quality of the music here is indeed great and this is his best album so far. It is an album to really enjoy.
