My All Time Favourite Albums are Black Sabbath – Technical Ecstasy – I don’t expect there are many other people that would agree with me on this but I think it is an album you either love or hate. I love Tony Iommi’s guitar solos on this and for once I even notice the drumming….

Secrets Of Astrology – Lana Lane
This is an odd album to me as it combines artists of my favourite two bands of the 90’s. Lana after several successful albums decided to try some new musicians on this album. The Main interest to me is the addition of Ayreon’s master Arjen Lucassen on guitar. Astrology Prelude – This is a good…
Lane Lane – The Ballad Collection
Hopefully my copy of the New album is on it’s way from Japan but in the mean time I have been on the Ballad Collection for the last week or two. It’s very good. When I first played it to a friend in the car going to a gig I feared it might be too…

Essential music for a desert island
Bored one day I decided to sit down and have a guess at my favourite tracks. This is not something I find easy to do as a lot of groups I love the album as a whole without really having a strong preference for an individual track. This was going to be a top 10…
ick Wakeman and Mario Fasciano – Black Knights At The Court Of Ferdinand IV
E Vuje’ (And You) – This is almost Ocean City’s Rhythm. Rick is using his 80’s moog substitute and a fair bit in this track. The backing in quiet parts is like "The meeting" from AWBH I think. Again the sound I can’t name but used only on these albums and therefore I feel Italian…
Rick Wakeman and Mario Fasciano – Stella Bianco
Stella Bianco(White Star) – This has a medieval beat to it. Rick solos on Moog type sounds a couple of times. These is as a sound I don’t know how to described perhaps bells or guitar done on keyboard A quatte mane (At Four Hands) – My favourite track for some reason. It uses the…
