Get Ready to Rock, Circuline, Yes, Spock's Beard, Clare Torry, Renaissance, Camel, Andrew Colyer, Darin Brannon, CORE, C.O.R.E., Dave Bainbridge, progressive rock, prog, PROG

“C.O.R.E. demands your attention…..The advanced track that caught our attention – and the album standout – is ‘All’ and is a very good example of the band’s musicality. A sense of real propulsion, great keyboard (Andrew Colyer) and guitar interplay and evoking prime-time proggers such as bands like Yes and, more recently, Spock’s Beard……Even morphing into semi-Camel territory…..‘Third Rail’ immediately brings to mind Renaissance, circa ‘Ashes Are Burning’-era, whilst ‘Say Their Name’ continues that …..‘Temporal Thing’ also has a jazz rock thing going on……‘Blindside’ is a little more conventional, fronted by Colyer’s vocal and a pleasing and plaintive Bainbridge solo ushering in some Clare Torry-style hollering (from Natalie, not Andrew!)……It’s certainly an interesting pot-pourri of prog …..this should be filed next to another great slice of recent modern prog.”
