Madrigal Project. The - 11th Hour (2024)

The third album from this band from USA.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, saxophones, flute, programmed woodwinds and vocals.

A handful of guests added bass, guitars and keyboards.

This band released their first two albums as Madrigal before they changed the name to The Madrigal Project on this album. Oliver Wakeman, Billy Sherwood and Adam Holzman were among the guests here.

I reviewed their second album, the 1996 album On My Hands, earlier this week and gave it a good rating. Prog with some Kansas, ELO, Genesis, Yes and Gentle Giant influences.

The band returned again almost thirty years later. The music is more or less the same as on their second album. Melodic progressive rock.

We get seventy-five minutes worth of music here. Quirky, melodic progressive rock with some art-rock, read Marillion influences. There is also some substantial Van Deer Graf Generator and Peter Hammil influences here.

The vocals is very good here and a big plus. The overall quality is good throughout this album and this album is well worth checking out. It is a good album, indeed.
