The Keith Reid Project
The KRP – In My Head
Review by Gary Hill
One thing that needs to be dispensed with up-front is that I'm not sure that this is supposed to actually go under "The Keith Reid Project." I mean, "The KRP" does literally stand for that, but this seems to be released under the acronym instead of the actual name. Still, for the purposes of consistency, I'm including this under the full name. Onto the CD itself, this is definitely not a tight fit under progressive rock. There is a lot of variety here, though, and some of that variety is why I've landed it there. For one things, songs like the opener bring a real "art rock" vibe to the set. There are also plenty of things that have a lot of fusion built into them. Beyond that, many of the more mainstream rock moments are not far removed from a lot of modern prog. Whatever you call this, though, the music is effective, and the disc never fails to entertain.
