FANFARE & FANTASY

I stumbled across this album by pure chance when surfing you tube one night and was instantly compelled to find out more about this album as the first track 'fanfare for the broken hearted' has a really catchy tune which reminds me strongly of Fish era Marillion. After a bit of wiki investigating it turns out that these guys are also Scottish! I haven't yet memorized all the songs but what I can say is that there are no fillers on this album and it just seems to get better all the way though. This is definitely the best album I have heard so far in 2013 and while there is strong marillion and some genesis influence present in this album the overall sound is still quite unique. I see it as what Fish era marillion would sound like if it still existed today. I would recommend this album to all prog listeners, as it really would be hard to not like this album. 4.5 stars if it were possible!
