CHOCOLATE KINGS

An excellent prog album that has two great tracks 'From Under','Harlequin' and one classic 'Out Of The Roundabout'.The playing is some of the best I've ever heard on a prog album.These guys are no slouches that's for sure! So why not 5 stars? 2 reasons.One is the vocalist clearly has a lot of difficulty singing in English.This is too much of a distraction to me.Second reason is the track 'Paper Charms' which fails to maintain the standard of the earlier peices and ends the album poorly.Maybe I'm being unfair deducting a star as I gave King Crimson 'In The Court' 5 stars despite 'Moonchild' but that said there is no Greg Lake here and more is the pity! Buy it for the instrumental qualities though and you won't be dissapointed.
