THE SERVICES OF MARY GOODE

Wow wow , is the only think i can say. The only real Neo Progressive band with a woman singing. The only band that comes close would the French 'Arrakeen'. But different from the kinds like 'Karnataka' or 'Mostly Autumn', thsi band sounds pretty close to old style Marillion, Twelfth Night, Grey Lady Down, Arena and Pendragon. Lengthy songs with beautiful melodies and great stories to tell. A pity there is only this one CD, there Website seems to be telling about new stuff to come...Just listen into the great songs like just at the start 'A Twist in the tale of earth history' or then the bombastic songs like 'Joker'. The artwork of the whole CD is great as well. really a band that many many prog rock fnas should try to get. And lest shope that Sue Element and Mike Varty will rethink and go back to the studio to continue. There are so many ideas and meldies on this one single CD that even bands like Transartica look like beginners and different from them, Janison Edge' keeps the good ones and creates just fantastic listenable music for even a romantic 'tete a tete'.
