Our Take

"Art & Illusion" by TWELFTH NIGHT is a whimsical rollercoaster of a prog rock album that takes listeners on a wild journey through time and space. From the opening track "A Midsummer Night's Dream" to the closing notes of "The Collector", the band effortlessly weaves together intricate melodies and complex rhythms that will leave you scratching your head in awe.

The album is a true masterpiece of sonic experimentation, with each instrument playing its own unique role in creating a kaleidoscope of sound. The ethereal vocals of lead singer Geoffrey Mann soar above the intricate guitar work of Andy Revell, while Brian Devoil's thunderous drums keep the rhythm tight and pulsating.

But what truly sets "Art & Illusion" apart is its playful sense of humour and keen sense of irony. Tracks like "Fact and Fiction" and "We are Sane" blend tongue-in-cheek lyrics with catchy hooks, creating a perfect blend of whimsy and introspection.

Overall, TWELFTH NIGHT's "Art & Illusion" is a delightful romp through the world of progressive rock, with enough twists and turns to keep even the most discerning listener on their toes. So put on your dancing shoes, grab a glass of your favourite tipple, and let yourself be swept away by the magic of this truly unique and unforgettable album. Cheers!"
