The fourth album from this band from Great Britain.
The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
A handful of guests are adding cello, violin, viola and flute.
The band continued on again after their not so bad Trip The Life Fantastic album from the year before. That album, reviewed in # 1 of these blogs, was a slight improvement on the rather lacklustre On The Rebound album from 1999. So the band had taken a long break.
The music is still pretty much a blend of art-rock and neo-prog.
Melodic and a bit sombre music is what we get on Safe Asylum.
This one hour long album has some melancholic stuff indeed and some good vocals.
The songs are not bad at all. The band's output is getting better, more and more mature.
This is a pretty good album and one well worth checking out.
