Album Notes & Community Reviews

On their sophomore release, the British ensemble successfully solidified their unique fusion of classic progressive rock elements and Celtic-inspired folk music[cite: 1]. 'The Spirit of Autumn Past' prominently features ethereal flute and violin instrumentation alongside the highly melodic, Floydian guitar work of bandleader Bryan Josh[cite: 1].
