The CD I have includes 14 tracks and lasts 66 minutes. You may have a version that just includes the original tracks intended for the album and not the bonus ones.

I really should have taken the chance to see her in Reading a few months ago when the chance arose.

Re: PROG CORNER
Both the name of the band and the largely dirty vocals are things that go completely against my normal direction but this is a masterpiece.

First listen, but sounding great. It might just be me, but I'm reminded of Stackridge by some of the tracks.
And John Coan, no you won't like it.
How does it holds up regarding their other albums?
Its been a while, so do they still have it?

They still have the trademark Gryphon sound (crumhorns included) but have more in the way of vocals, hence my comparison to Stackridge. It's an album that's certainly worth hearing.

Re: PROG CORNER
A French one man prog band - ain’t technology amazing?
My 1st reaction when I see it’s a solo project with most / everything done by one person tends to be a little negative as it somehow feels a little artificial (my problem, not theirs!) but this is one (like many) that has real merit.
Only played it a couple of times but will get more.
Neo prog with jazz and space elements and some heaviness, so lots of bases covered.

No better day than a Sunday for a bit of broad church.
Love this album. I’ve played a couple of others over the years but they haven’t really measured up to this.
Anyone here in a position to recommend a Frank Turner album? Doubtful.
Another one I return to at least once a year. Last night was it. Brilliant album.

We were talking about progressive rock albums clocking in under 40 minutes. The 2018 album Sonder by TesserecT lasts a mere 36 minutes!

I think the latter point is more poignanat than the first JJ - I saw him with Tull and Fairport umpteen times.
As for appearances on albums it was The Red & Gold/5 Seasons period of Fairport which wasn't great and he is a guest on Tull's mediocre Rock Island.
A great musician and undoubtedly an amicable man
RIP Maarts
