Neal. Ian - Barkston Ash (2021)

The fourth album from this artist from England.

Ian Neal does the guitars, programming, keyboards, mellotron, organ, piano and vocals here.

A female guests does the narrations and female vocals. 

I have only heard and reviewed his second album Out Of The Woods from 2011 and has not had the chance to review or hear his 2013 album Astro.

The ten years gap has moved him closer to symphonic prog than on the above mentioned album I recently reviewed here. 

The music here also has some cinematic rock too. 

There are some good vocals here on some really cool, good symphonic prog tracks. Genesis and Camel springs to mind.

The result is a good album. A good symphonic prog album and I hope we hear a lot more from Ian Neal... but let it not be eight or ten years between each album. 

3 points
