The fourth album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, synths, piano and vocals.
Some guests added additional vocals, including children vocals.
Damien Wilson had left the band and the band replaced him with ms Tracy Hitchhings. That means a shift from male to female vocals.
Landmarq now sounded like Magenta on their first albums. That means neo-prog with female vocals.
A bit of a change and shock for the fans.
The guitars and synths.... their sound has also lost some of it's muscles. The symphonic prog stuff has been reduced a great deal. There is not any symphonic prog here at all.
Tracy has a good voice and she is carrying the album. The songs are not particular good, I am afraid to report.
The result is an album somewhere between decent and good. It is an album mostly for the neo-prog fans.
2.5 points
