GUY MANNING - SONGS FROM THE BILSTONE HOUSE - 2004

YEAR: 2004
STYLE: Electric Progressive Rock
FORMAT: FLAC (Image + Log + Cue + Scans + 5% Recovery)
SIZE: 489 Mb
COUNTRY: UK
THE BAND: Guy Manning / vocals, keyboards, acoustic 6 & 12, classical guitars, electric guitar, bouzouki, mandolins, bass, percussion; Laura Fowles / saxes & vocals; David Million / electric guitars; Ian 'Walter' Fairbairn / fiddle; Julie King / vocals
Guest musicians: Andy Tillison / drums, keyboards & vocals (courtesy of 'The Tangent'); Steve Dundon / flute (courtesy of 'Molly Bloom')


I´ve got to say I was never really a fan of Guy Manning´s solo career. Ok, I only knew two CDs of his prolific discography before tackling this one (One Small Step... and The View From My Window), and even then, I just did so because a good friend praised the CD a lot in the internet. I first heard of Manning through his work with The Tangent, a group I like a lot. I bought One Small Step... because I wanted to know his work outside The Tangent and I was not moved. I tried again with The View... and I was not impressed either. It seemed that this singer/songwriter/multi instrumentalist was doing better being a part of a symphonic group than on his own. Of course my opinion changed radically when I started listening to Songs From the Bilston House.

From the fisrt notes of the title track I knew this was something to pay atention: great keys, fine melody line and very convincing perfomance by all involved. Was it a fluke? I asked myself. The second song was equally good, although totally different is style (it reminds me a lot of The Tangent´s Lost In London). Third track: one of those few songs that is worth the price of the album alone . Lost In Play has everything you wish in a classic: an unforgetable riff, a beautiful melody line, inspired lyrics, breathtaking arrangements and a powerful delivering that makes you press the repeat button again and again. This is, needless to say, the CD´s Highlight. Of course the remaining songs aren´t as good as this one, but still they are equally inspired, varied and very well done.

After some repeated listenings I can say this is a fine piece of prog music. Manning combines classic rock, celtic folk and symphonic prog (plus some jazzy and bossa nova overtones here and there) into a very distinctive style that sounds both original and familiar. His vocals are not realy outstanding, but work very well within the context of his songs. The playing is awesome, all musicians are very skilled (including some help form The Tangent´s fellow member Andy Tillson and Molly Blum´s flutist Steve Dundon ). The arrangements are very tasteful and precise, with all the instruments falling nicely into place. The production is top notch. But most of all the songwriting is the key: Guy Manning is in great form here, inspired and passionate all the way through the CD.

I guess I´ll have to hear his other CDs with a new perspective. Songs From The Bilston Houser, however, is an excellent prog record on its own and a fine addtition to any prog lover collection. final rating: something between 4 and 4,5 stars.
