Turning Point - Vanishing Dream (2022)

The third album from this band from England.

The band was a quintet on this album with a lineup of drums, percussion, electric piano, bass, piano, synths, saxophones and voices.

This is not really a new album and it is not really their third album either. This album consists of studio recordings made in the 1970s but who has not seen the light of day before the piano and synth player Brian Miller released it with the consent of the families of the other members. Members I guess has long passed on.

The album has been marketed well and I feel it is only right to do an exception here and review it.

The music is Canterbury scene jazz. Gilgamesh is a good reference. There is also some hints of zeuhl here in the use of the vocals less voice and chanting.

There are indeed some Magma like melodies here too. Not as intense but you get the Magma hints quite often during this one hour long album.

The music on this album is actually an improvement on their two studio albums. Which is pretty rare when it comes to studio albums vs archive outtakes records. 

The sound is very good and the music stands there, tall and proud.

This is indeed a good album and more than validates Brian Miller's hard work on this album.

Check out this good album.
