Galahad - The Last Great Adventurer (2022)

The 15th album from this band from England.

The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This band was formed in the late 1980s and album debuted in 1981 with an album named Nothing Is Written. There was some cassette and CDs album releases after that.

The band also split their activities into three bands; Galahad, Galahad Aquistic Quintet and Galahad Electric Company. Just to be artstic and confusing.

I really like this band and they are one of the pioneer bands in the neo-prog scene. A new album from them is always an event not to be missed.

The music here is straight forward Galahad's take on neo-prog. That means bold, epic and majestic neo-prog with some very good vocals. 

There is some slightly grating and unsatisfying flirting with disco here. Yes, that 1970s cult genre that really never died and which has been incorporated on most of Galahad's albums. 

There are also some really pastoral parts here on this album. 

The quality is very good and this band is not letting their fans down on this album. 

Check out this album if neo-prog is your thing.

3.5 points
