Retreat From Moscow - The World as We Knew It (2022)

The debut album from this band from Great Britain.

The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, flute, synths, keyboards and vocals.

The band was formed in 1979 and soldiered on until 1981. The band members then met up some years ago and decided restart the band again and record their songs plus some new songs.

The music on this seventy-four minutes long self-released digital album is a mix of hard prog (Rush) and neo-prog. There is also some symphonic prog influences here.

There are also some rock influences here and the music is both rocking and dynamic.

There is a lot of interesting details here and those are really carrying this album.

The songs are pretty OK, but not really great. They are pretty long though, somewhere between five and ten minutes long.

This is an album for those who both like British prog and the likes of Rush. It is also a piece of British prog rock history and well worth checking out.
