CLASSICAL MUSIC AND POPULAR SONGS

Martin ORFORD who is likely better known for his leadership in Neo Prog bands IQ, JADFIS and The John WETTON PROJECT as their main keyboardist delivers a prog friendly album full of personal charm and character. Martin ORFORD obviously plays all keyboards and much of the vocals as well with John Wetton and IQ's Peter Nicholls leading 1 track as well. As you would expect ORFORD calls on a vast arsenal of prog talent he has worked with over the years (Gary Chandler - rhythm and electric guitars, Steve Christey - drums, John Jowitt - bass, David Kilminster - acoustic and lead guitars, Paul Cook - drums, Michael Holmes - lead guitars). The end result is a grand song/melody based album full of magical little moments with an overall sound not unlike at times IQ, JADIS and Paul Menel-era IQ with a semi classical twist.
