The second album from this band from USA.
The band is a one-man-band with Scott G Davis doing the bass, guitars, keyboards, vocals and programmed drums.
The 2022 debut album Surrounded By Ghosts was a pretty good album. It was, as this one is too, released through Bandcamp.
Both albums is an example how to maximise the one-man-band concept to it's full potential. Which sometimes means coming up far too short.
Pictures From A Previous Dream is a mix of US neo-prog and symphonic prog. The influences from British neo-prog bands is this time far stronger than any influences from Spock's Beard.
The guitars sounds a bit strange this time around. They sounds like the 1980s guitar sound. The keyboards and synths sounds like they were from the 1990s. The vocals is good.
The album is over seventy minutes long and most of the music is good. There are even some very good pieces of music here. Hence the rating. There are some flaws here and these flaws is due to the band format.
Nevertheless, this is still a good album.
