The third album from this band from United Kingdom.
The band is a trio with a lineup of percussion, bass, bouzoki, mandolin, guitars, saxophones, keyboards, synths, programming and vocals.
Numerous guests added drums, bass, guitars, picolo, trumpets, flutes and backing vocals.
Damanek is fronted by Guy Manning, an artist with a background as a solo artist and leader of his own band Manning. He was also a member of The Tangent and 90 Degree for a long time.
Damanek has retained a lot of what Guy Manning did in Manning. There is also some hints of what Sean Timms did in Unitopia, his old bands.
That means some melancholic neo-prog with some laid back jazz and pomp pop. There is almost some gospel over some of the songs.
Guy Manning's vocals is very good. These seventy minutes of music is also full of interesting details.
The quality is barely good. This album is a step backwards in quality compared to the first two albums. Nevertheless, this is still a good album and one well worth checking out.
