Thirty years ago this band made a couple of albums and now they returned with Last Warrior. The music on this album is kind of laid back, jazzy and fusion-like with lots of soundscapes, piano and Eastern-oriented musical parts. The album features five instrumental pieces and honestly speaking, I expected a little bit more variation. Most of the songs sound too much alike and are rather tiresome and not very powerful or diverse. I wouldn’t label this album as being progressive rock or even rock! The best songs are Livin’ Good Part 1 and Nothin’ Grows, songs that bring back memories of old Camel -material. The rest of the album is simply mediocre. This release certainly is no winning return for T.Phan... **+ Martien Koolen (edited by Peter Willemsen) Where to buy?
