Drive The Line

An old take on the faith vs. science tension sounds remarkably contemporary as this award-winner comes to UK Blu-ray for the first time.

With lots of strong tunes, thoughtful content and consummate musicianship, as with all Morse’s work, this rock opera is a project well worth exploring.

No bait-and-switch musical evangelism here – this rock opera is the real thing…

Using sonics ranging from pulsating electro-rock to a Salvation Army backing band, Gabriel Wilson is the right man to bring out the best sound that Smith has enjoyed since prime Delirious? days. Two of his best ever songs are right here.           

Yet another 2019 release from guitar legend Keaggy and yet another where collaboration brings out different facets of his talents, while adding someone else’s to the mix. This one is more polished and Boston-like.

Illumination puts virtuosity in the context of relatable songs – songs that reflect the artists’ hearts as much as their technical chops in a progressive pop format.

Page enlivens an age-old topic with clarity, freshness, wisdom, humour, sight of the big picture – and a cheeky glint in his eye.
