Review by Windhawk
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator

UK composer and musician Ryan YARD have been releasing solo albums at a steady pace ever since 2015, and by now he has 10 productions to his name counting all and sundry. "The Nature of Solitude II" from 2020 is his sixth full length studio album, and the successor to 2017's "The Nature of Solitude". Like with all the other releases by Yard, the album was self-released.

I'm not overly familiar with the type of instrumental progressive rock explored on this album, hence my impressions are based on a somewhat limited familiarity with this part of the progressive rock universe. In that context I'd say that this album by Ryan Yard isn't one that is in quite the same league as artists such as Mike Oldfield or even Rob Reed. He does explore similar landscapes however, and I'm fairly sure that most of the people looking forward to the next Mike Oldfield album or Rob Reed's next album in this more careful variety of progressive rock will also feel right at home with this latest album by Ryan Yard.
