ALBUM REVIEW
Tracy Hitchings is one of the most talented female vocalist from neo prog zone, that is a fact, she was part across the years in different bands like guest or permanent musician in Landmarq, Quasar, Strangers on a Train. She also worked with great musicians, here on her first solo album and as well her swansong, released in 1991 and named From Ignorance to Ecstasy on SI label, has some fantastic team like Clive Nolan: Keyboards & Backing Vocals and Karl Groom: Guitars (the excellent guitarist who formed couple of years later the progressive metal band Threshold). So, the album is on melodic side of neo prog with some great arrangements, her voice fits very well in this kind of approach, especially on piece Horizons In Your Eyes, great voice. The album was re-released in 1999 by Marillion's Mick Pointer label Vergas, the one I have. Another intriguing fact is, while the album is under her name, the music and vocal arrangements are entirely composed by Clive Nolan from Arena fame, but he knew what to take from her voce and the result is ok and enjoyble.
