ALBUM REVIEW
Steve’s new album is a bit of a change in that he has produced a much more Progressive Rock album than his other more synth based earlier CDs. It moves away from the Tangerine Dream style with less sequencers and electronics. It has more structured pieces with elements of classical music, rock, ethnic and folk all mixed together. Still all instrumental with his usual biting electric guitar work supplemented by his wife Linda’s subtle flute playing, this album is much more upbeat. It is his most ambitious and musically complex project to date integrating orchestral sections onto a rock based line up of drums, guitars and keyboards but also using traditional instrumental sounds such as flute, piano, hammond organ and saxophone.
