Stumbled upon a melodic prog band called Fluance, in this instance ft Duncan Mackay, who released an album in February this year - Lunacy. Had no idea Mr Mackay had done anything like this - he doesn't seem to get a whole lot of publicity for some reason - actually, on second thoughts, not that hugely surprising - he's a bit of a recluse.

Also, most notably Marty Prior from Cockney Rebel and Barry James Thomas from Sad Cafe and his work with Phil Lynott.

The songs are written by Philip Lane and Jane Lane and Philip has recorded, produced and mixed the album at the Beehouse Recording Studios in Llanfyllin, Wales. Organ and piano parts were also recorded by Duncan and Mick Evans at Melpro Studios in Cape Town and Bass and Barry's lead guitar on "Hanging Out" were recorded in Spain.

The album is a concept album and is best listened to in the order intended ..."
