    The excellent Albion album is also available on Spotify. I was going to ask for your opinion on this album as I know you are a big Jethro Tull fan. I thought that you would appreciate it and so glad you did. Albion have recorded much more excellent music other than the ones on this debut album and Joe has recorded some outstanding metal covers of a few classical music pieces plus a couple of fine Jethro Tull covers. Albion and Joe's videos on UA-cam are definitely worth a watch.

    I have been following Hat's Off Gentlemen It's Adequate for sometime now The Light of Ancient Mistakes is a wonderful album. Their last two albums, The Confidence Trick & Nostalgia for Infinity are also excellent.

    I’ve been watching Joe Parishes career for some time now. He’s an extremely talented musician and his guitar interpretations of classical pieces are jaw dropping.

    The Instrumental tracks and passages of Hat's off Gentlemen appeal to me but vocally I find them really lacking. The Albion album sounds pretty good from the little I've heard so far. Thanks Barry, good to hear about new music

    Bought the Albion CD a few days back and I really like it. The rock parts are soft of on or off totally with folk parts in between. Sound is great if you download the 24 bit 48 kHz version.

    Thanks for the heads up, for me the voice is what makes prog rock and neither of these did it for me, which is a shame but I will keep a close on your reviews because I am struggling to find Prog Rock I want to hear. Quite like AirBag but sadly thats about as modern as I have got lol.

    Just out of curiosity, have you heard the Prog band called Wobbler? If not, check out their latest album Dwellers Of The Deep.

    Mate, you simply MUST do a video for "The Underfall Yard" by Big Big Train. It's by far the best prog album I've heard in a very long time with the musicans having impressive pedigrees.

      FYI... 'Hat's Off Gentlemen It's Adequate' albums can be listened too freely and bought from, Bandcamp. (more of the money from purchases of cds and vinyl etc goes to the artists when buying from bandcamp) Enjoy. ;-)

    • @MalcolmGalloway
      @MalcolmGalloway 3 місяці тому

      Thanks - unfortunately as a tiny independent band we can’t currently afford to put it out on vinyl. Our albums tend to be pretty long, so it would need to be a double album, which is pretty expensive. We are grateful for any plays, whether on Spotify, UA-cam, Bandcamp, CD etc. best wishes, Malcolm

    • @andrewlongshaw2128
      @andrewlongshaw2128 3 місяці тому

      I completely understand. I stream via Napster, who I believe pay the best rates to musicians but it is still not a lot. I got rid of my CD player years ago and went solely on to vinyl, which I have had for over 50 years as a growing collection.

    As a big, classic, Tull fan, I was curious about this band and so listened to a track. Musically it was pretty good but I didn't take to the vocals which, although perfectly fine, didn't have the edge that Ian Anderson, Peter Gabriel ( even Collins) or Jon Anderson had. A lot to ask I know but the vocal seemed a little too smooth and mundane for me. To be fair I should listen to more but that was my initial impression.
    Because of this vid I went to listen to HOIAG, although I have heard of them because they've been playing around North London for several years. I hadn't delved in because they 'appeared' far to twee and not 'committed ' to classic prog. This shows how important presentation can be. Any thanks to Captain Clickbait, doing his job, I have gone off to get an earful of HOIAG. Unfortunately although the whole project seems terrific it was too progged up Pet Shop Boys in my opinion. I did enjoy some guitar solos and some of the melodic lines but, again, the vocals were fairly weak and mundane. Nevertheless, a excellent effort but my first, fairly ignorant, impression was probably fairly close to my more concrete comprehension.
    Anyway that's just me, listen to the albums and make up your own mind. What I would add is that there is so much terrific music around (old and new), one's music collection is often ridiculously vast and one doesn't have the time to listen to a small proportion of one's own music ( let alone read or watch DVD's etc) - that one does have to be far more selective about what one buys. Apologies for all the 'one's'.
