Nolan & Wakeman - Dark Fables (2021)

The third album from this duo from England.

Oliver Wakeman and Clive Nolan did the synths, keyboards, piano and some of the narrations and vocals here.

They got help from some guests who added drums, bass, guitars, cello, violin, vocals and narrations.

This album is not really a new album from this duo. It is a collection of unreleased tracks, demos and rarities. Something I was not told about. If I had been that, I would not have started the required listening sessions.

The release of such an album makes me question the future of this cooperation between Oliver and Clive. It is not a good sign, to say at least. 

The music on this album is a mix of concept albums and symphonic prog with a lot of progressive metal included too.

The music is whimsical and quirky throughout. 

The quality is somewhere between decent and good. 

I hope, but do not believe, this duo will release some more albums. 

2.5 points
