The debut album from this artist from Great Britain.
Colin did the percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, trombone and drum programming here.
Two guests added various noises and female vocals.
I reviewed his second and third album fifteen years or so ago for ProgArchives. I also interviewed Colin for the same magazine too. Then I forgot about his albums.... before I found three unreviewed albums in my collection. These three will be reviewed here and in the upcoming # 4 of this blog sometimes in the next couple of weeks. I also hope to purchase a copy of his new album too.
Colin Masson has in total released six solo albums and some albums as a member of The Morrigan.
This one hour and five minutes long album gives us a mix of keltic folk music and symphonic prog. There is a lot of Camel influences here. There is also a lot of Clannad influences here too.
This album has three tracks. There is some very good female vocals from Cathy Alexander on the opening title track. That is the most Clannad influenced track here. The two remaining tracks are more in the vein of Camel.
The guitars are very good throughout this album. The quality of the song writing leaves something to be desired as the final track is a bit of a dead fish.
The result is a good album and one to check out if symphonic rock with some keltic folk influences are your thing.
