‘Far And Forgot – From The Lost Lands’ is a magical, classically influenced work of beautiful fantasy music that bridges the world of Progressive Rock, Celtic and Classical music perfectly. 90% instrumental, this new music definitely has the power to deliver its listener to lands that time has forgotten! However, what is truly amazing about this album is Lickerish’s use of technology to achieve the vast array of sounds that have allowed the creation of what often feels like a real symphony orchestra in full flow. One can only wonder what The ENID might have sounded like today had Francis Lickerish and Stephen Stewart remained in the fold, but if the former is going to continue to release orchestral based rock albums of this calibre, and his old band continue breaking their new ground, then you can’t help but feel that ENID fans are going to be getting the best of both worlds!
ReplyDeleteA thoroughly recommended album, not only for ENID fans, but lovers of all symphonic rock music!
