...Next, we switch gears for the latest release from bassist Mick Paul titled "Parallel Lines." The album includes guest appearance by David Cross (King Crimson) and David Jackson (Van Der Graf Generator). The new fourteen-track release begins with the sweeping melody of "Your Days," as the music simply floats on high, as you follow every note that is performed. The mood shifts to the slightly darker, jazzy vibe of "Light Of Silence," which is highlighted by the song's haunting, harmonizing vocals, before reaching the more concise, keyboard-driven rock of "No Horizon." The soft, graceful touch of "Beneath The Gate" displays Mick's amazing songwriting, which captures the pure progressive sound of the album. Next, Mick Paul showcases his talents on the bass with a short solo piece titled "Cypher," and then experiments with the slightly classical flow of "Swallows." He finishes his new album with the more aggressive rock approach of "Name On You" and the progressive rock journey of "Morning Skyline."
