AFTERGLOW

When I reviewed Wobbler's previous album, I said it felt like home. What I meant was that the album brought back fond memories from thirty years ago when I would buy an album without knowing anything about the band, and discover new worlds of prog. This one is like coming home, and finding everything is much better than you remember.

The instrumentation and keyboard sounds are seventies vintage. Mellotron fan should be thrilled with it's use here.

The first and last songs are misleading, with a medieval sound, both The Haywain and Armoury might make you think you have a new Gryphon album. But it's the two long pieces that make the album. Imagine the instuments of Gryphon, the fire of King Crimson, and the inventiveness of Univers Zero and you might begin to get an understanding of the feel of Imperial Winter White and In Taverna. Where some might say they are too retro, I disagree. While there is a seventies feeling, there is also some exploration that very few bands did back then.

The only way to truly understand this is to listen to the album. It won't take much time.
