Landmarq - Solitary Witness (1992)

The debut album from this band from Great Britain. 

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

The band originated in Quasar, another band who released two albums in the 1980s and one in 2016. I reviewed their 1989 album The Loreli ten years for # 1 of this blog and has recently aquired their debut album. I intend to review that album later this winter.

Landmarq released five albums and I will review all of them this winter. 

Quasar and Landmarq was both involved in the British neo-prog scene. None of them were particular successful. But they did their best while the likes of Marillion hit gold.

The music here is a mix of Genesis and more melodic prog and rock. Neo-prog in other words. 

The music is pretty good throughout. The quality is somewhere between decent and good. As a debut album, it is an acceptable debut.

Check it out.
