REVIEWS: FIRST LIGHT (E-ZINE)

"Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce Henry Fool and one of the best albums I have ever heard in my life! The members of this sensational band are: Tim Bowness, Peter Chilvers, Fudge Smith, Mike Bearpark, Stephen Bennett and Myke Clifford.

Imagine the perfect mix between King Crimson and Porcupine Tree with vocals to die for. Then add some Italian flavour sprinkled with tasty jazz grooves and what you will have is Henry Fool and an outstanding masterpiece of modern progressive rock.

Overall moderately complex, but also with some mind-bending passages, and beautiful and atmospheric enough to rival the very best of the classic Italian symph-bands this cd is a revelation from the first note to the last. It will simply knock you off your feet and keep you pinned-down in front of the speakers.

The vivid vocals of Tim Bowness are so good that they alone make this album worth having, and yet they are just a small part of the music that easily makes this one of my top ten progressive rock albums of all time. The playing on this album is so good it makes my ears cry with joy and my head shake with disbelief, and as if that wasn´t enough the sound mix is made in heaven.

Now, I´m not asking you to buy this album... I´m telling you to!! If you like classic progressive rock and don´t mind a bit of jazz/fusion then this is simply too good to miss.

The best album I´ve heard in years!!"
