Docker’s Guild can almost be considered a one man band managed by multi-instrumentalist Douglas Docker, and around this project in this case we can find a very long list of names that have been chosen by this musician to make this album a true progressive rock gem. To understand what names you can find in this album, just read the credits at the bottom of the review. Well, perhaps it is difficult to speak exhaustively about an album like this.
The reasons are many. Docker’s Guild eschew any classification and move continuously, song after song. It’s like being faced with a long jam session during which the musicians continually take unexpected paths and try to provide their technique and their own inspiration to songs that even go beyond the concept of prog rock, and which dare even in territories beaten in passed on by the likes of Genesis, Sting, The Police, Pink Floyd, Van Der Graaf Generator, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin and other rock and psychedelic innovators of yesteryear.
It is therefore an album that perhaps it would not be fair to describe song by song but which should be taken as a single block in which anything can happen, because even in this case we are talking about something done by true champions!
