Common Ground

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Favorite track: Atlantic Cable.

Stéphane Gallay Je peux conseiller Common Ground aux amateurs de rock progressif symphonique, de préférence à ceux qui ont un goût pour les sonorités seventies (mais pas que). C’est solide, maîtrisé, inspiré. (Chroniqué sur alias.erdorin.org) Favorite track: Apollo.

Crinklechips Another fantastic album by a band that are seemingly incapable of making a wrong step since their incredible album ‘The Underfall Yard’. This album grabbed me straight away as opposed to their previous ‘Grand Tour’ offering. Its less pretentious prog rock but don’t get me wrong. Ah like the high falootin’ stuff! Favorite track: Apollo.
