As On A Darkling Plain

by Ten Jinn

supported by

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) This is my favorite "Tenn Jinn" album, currently available for -15%, like everything else in the "Melodic Revolution Records" Bandcamp store. In retrospect, it's an undisputed neo-prog highlight of the last century, at least in my opinion, shining with its stunning melodies. Besides the great songwriting of keyboardist, singer, and leader John Paul Strauss, it contains substantial contributions by multi-instrumentalist Mark Wickliffe, now with "AmuZeum". Favorite track: As on a Darkling Plain vii) The Legacy of Magnus.

Common Ground
by Big Big Train

supported by 7 fans who also own “As On A Darkling Plain”

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

Dwellers of the Deep
by Wobbler

supported by 6 fans who also own “As On A Darkling Plain”

This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie

Electric Intervals
by Martyn Heyne

A work of beautiful, pointillist guitar from Martyn Heyne, the moving songs on “Electric Intervals” are made of tiny pinpricks of sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 11, 2017

Doomsday Afternoon
by Phideaux

supported by 5 fans who also own “As On A Darkling Plain”

Very good prog-rock—the 2nd offering of Phideaux’s grand, conceptual trilogy. It is well produced and has a smooth, enjoyable flow that’s easy on the ears—a very pleasant listen. Highly recommended. Both male and female vocals are done well. Instrumentation is creative and interesting. 8.5+/10. Alrihkh
