The second album from this artist from Great Britain.
Steven Wilson did the gong, percussion, glockenspiel, autoharp, harmonium, bass, guitars, piano, keyboards, synths, programming and vocals.
Numerous guests added drums, bass, guitars, chapman sticks, strings, woodwinds and choir.
Steven Wilson is one of the leading lights in the progressive rocks in the last thirty years. So it did not come as a surprise that he went solo after finishing and closing down Porcupine Tree.
His debut album was pretty good.
On the two discs, eighty-three minutes long On Grace For Drowning, the music is a mix of art-rock, cinematic rock and alternative rock.
The music is softly spoken and gentle throughout. It is also elegant and at times beautiful. Melancholic, it is too.
The emphasis is feelings here and not so much technical brilliance.
The result is a very good album indeed and well worth checking out.
3.5 points
