The 21st album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of guitars, piano, programming and vocals.
The Enid is a kind of an enigma to me. Their music was somewhere between classical music and symphonic prog in the beginning. That was in the 1970s.
Due to some legal problems, the band was then reduced to record re-worked versions of old pieces for a while..... make that on a handful of albums.
I more or less gave up on the band then after their reasonable good first albums. But as I have vowed to review all their albums, I continued this task.
The Bridge sees programmed symphony orchestra and choir with Joe Payne's vocals on the top. Robert John Godfrey adds piano and does the programming while we also get some guitars too.
The music we now get on forty minutes long The Bridge is a mix of musicals and classical music influenced pop songs.
The songs are well crafted. The quality is somewhere between decent and good.
This is a stylish album who falls a bit short when it comes quality. It is still an album well worth checking out.
