Second album for this veteran crew (lots of mature proggers expressing themselves lately from Holland, must be the water), the debut dutifully anointed with meritorious praise. Might as well name them all, beginning with vocalist Max Gilkes , Edwin in 't Veld on...

Here is another one of my pet favourite bands, Mike Morton being an example of the more talented vocalists available in Progland, with a series of albums that were of very high calibre and exemplary ratings to match, though the previous “Antenna” (2019) was a step...
