Description/Reviews:
Musically, 'Lighter Than Air' marks a clear step forward. Whereas the debut leaned heavily on the legacy of '70s progressive rock—with influences from legends like Genesis, Yes, and King Crimson—the follow-up has a more modern and contemporary sound, reminiscent of Marillion’s Clutching at Straws era. Still, the roots in prog tradition remain evident: epic compositions, adventurous rhythms, and virtuosic instrumental passages continue to define the band’s sound.
In addition to the familiar rock instrumentation, The One incorporates analogue synthesizers, lap steel guitar, double bass, and flute. These elements add depth and an unexpected richness to the music. With 'Lighter Than Air', The One presents itself as a mature band with a strong and distinctive identity.
