Description/Reviews:
Fans of celestial music in the vein of Pink Floyd, Mike Oldfield, FLY or Steven Wilson will get their money’s worth. Some of the songs wouldn’t have been out of place on The Endless River (Pink Floyd), Hand. Cannot. Erase (Steven Wilson) or The Songs Of Distant Earth (Mike Oldfield). A Sequence of Moments weaves many moments together into a seamless whole, it’s an album that invites you to dream and relate and is definitely a unique brand in ambient/prog rock music. It represents another step for Ali to establish himself as a solo artist and a further shift of his work towards prog rock compared to his previous album. It’s less to the point, but broader and more spacious. It lacks a few surprises and maybe a bit of courage to do the unexpected, making it feel overly long at times. Still, A Sequence Of Moments is of admirably high quality when it comes to song structure and the realisation of its overall concept. Ali should build on that to make more of a name for himself in future.
