Nicholas Greenwood's only solo album is a type of heavy organ rock with flute, guitar, strings, and orchestra. Somewhere between the complexity of his former band Khan, the heaviness of Deep Purple, the artiness of Second Hand, and the proto prog of Locomotive. Excellent album throughout, though nothing bedazzles quite like the 3 part opener 'A Sea of Holy Pleasures', which is brilliant.
