The second album from this duo from UK.
Oliver Wakeman and Clive Nolan does the keyboards and some backing vocals.
They got help from numerous guests who added drums, bass, guitars, flute, violin, backing vocals, narration and vocals.
The Hound Of The Baskervilles is a classic Sherlock Holmes novel. It is one of the greatest crime novels of all time and it has also been made into movie and TV series numerous times. I got the DVD of the movie somewhere in my living room.
Nolan & Wakeman has through extensive narration and some rather heavy, epic neo-prog made the story into a seventy minutes long album. A concept album, yes.
The keyboards sound has a bit of a farfisa keyboards sound and that adds a lot of flavour to this album.
The narration and the music is slightly cheesy and over the top. There are a lot of classical music influences throughout this album.
The vocals is good and so is the music too. This is a highly enjoyable album for both Sherlock Holmes, neo-prog & symphonic prog fans.
