Progressive Rock´s very own One-Man-Army strikes again. Welcome to “Crimes And Reasons”, the long-awaited fourth album by multi-instrumentalist and multi-genius Steve Thorne. While Thorne plays all compositions, and the majority of instruments, he managed again to put together and exquisite list of guest musicians who volunteered with pleasure to support on “Crimes and Reasons”. You´ll find Tony Levin´s (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson) exact bass playing as well as Martin Orford´s (ex-IQ) flute, the signature guitar of Gary Chandler (Jadis) and last but not least Nick D´Virgilio´s (Genesis, ex-Spock´s Beard) splendid drumming. The mixing of “Crimes and Reasons” was, as all previous albums, under the responsibility of Rob Aubrey (IQ, Spock´s Beard, Pulse). Melodic, but not pathetic. Smart, but not witty. Melancholic, but not dull. Accessible, but not easy going. Different, but not just for being different, Steve Thorne´s “Crimes And Reasons” is an album that will enlighten this year´s spring for the mature progressive rock listener (and his wife as well).
