Don’t let the seemingly metal sounding name fool you: MONOLITH make pure art rock that rides on Bill Hamer’s 70’s-style bombastic keyboards – the listener will soon notice how good a student he is of both Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson. The pièce de résistance of the album is, of course, his 1977 musical suite subdivided into six complex yet easily digestible tracks, mostly reminiscent of ELP and KING CRIMSON. The only guitar you’ll hear on the whole album, however, appears on the final two tracks, courtesy of guest artist Steve D’Acutis; a little out of place, these ASIA-like tracks are more of the AOR variety.
