This is a new release as a single disc. I previously reviewed it as the third disc of a Nolan and Wakeman box set. That brings up a point. This is listed under the right name "Clive Nolan and Oliver Wakeman" in the print edition of this issue. For the online version, though, since the other one was credited as "Nolan and Wakeman," that's how this one is listed. For the sake of consistency the track by track reviews here are copied from that earlier review.

This disc consists of a number of songs that were recorded for other projects, but never previously released. Some were extra tracks from two other albums. Some were songs recorded for a "Frankenstein" concept album that was never finished. All of this is quite good with an often theatrical vibe, but a real symphonic prog bedrock beneath it. There are a number of guests on this set. The most notable for Yes fans is Oliver's father Rick Wakeman who provides the spoken recitation on the closing piece.

This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) form in Music Street Journal: 2022  Volume 1. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2022.

Piano starts this track. It grows out from to a playful and energetic keyboard based arrangement led largely by the piano. The cut works forward in that format for a while before shifting to more serious feeling and more fully filled out progressive rock. The synthesizer solo section later again calls to mind the solo work of Rick Wakeman. This instrumental is quite tasty.
