COMMENTS ON MANNING - "A MATTER OF LIFE & DEATH"
By MUSIC EXTREME
 

An album full of majestic ideas and with multiple changes in rhythms but always with good arrangements. This is pure progressive rock centered in the musical personality of Guy Manning. There are really good guitar solos in the songs and each element is created in order to embellish this complicated yet accessible compositions. Manning´s voice and the choruses are essential here creating moments of beauty and fitting perfectly the music. A trademark here are the keyboards that orchestrate, arrange and embelish the music here. There is plenty of virtuosism on the music here and that is evident on each song that is cleverly developed showing virtuosism but never falling into self indulgence. An amazing album full of ideas that are working for the song.
