The Ringmaster Part One

by robert reed

nickgreen90125 The Ringmaster continues in what we might call the 'Oldfield genre', but for three albums Rob has been evolving his own unique style of it, and here is where it fully breaks out. Exhilarating melodies and rhythms, epic scale, and pristine yet intimate production, all with hints of a fairytale story just out of sight. Actual fave track is 'The Gatekeeper/The First Large Water', with its QE2 vibes. Favorite track: The Farewell /The First Guardians Of Everywhere.

mazakote Robert Reed's creativity and capacity for dreaming has no limits. another wonderful album to enjoy during my afternoons of reading and drawing.

George Wilhite Wow what a great album
Very much grounded in classical roots
Yet Reed’s progressive tendencies come and go without ever distracting from the unity of the piece

prog-rocks Wonderful album, i'm waiting for Part 2

djgenesisjohn79 Great album and beautiful music. Takes you on a real journey. Amazing playing throughout the album. Favorite track: The Defeated Army.

Im not familiar with the original album but I noticed this album listed in several top 15 lists for 2021 and was hooked in the first couple of minutes of the opening track. A favourite of mine now also. Beautiful album !! stryker58
