"After a ten year hiatus, HOG is back with music that will cure your ills. Yep, that impressive. Varied instrumental tunes... rock, funk, electric, jazzy, intense. And if your not careful the calming wind chimes will carry you away... several times.

Sonically this recording is superb. One of the best CD's I've heard in a long time. All instruments sound real. Exciting, balanced well, and the natural decay of the cymbals, mostly missing in modern rock music, is a refreshing sound for sore ears. Bravo! And don't overlook the masterful use of percussion.

How can you not like tasty guitar riffs and a rollin' blues infected groove. Really no dud in the bunch, and ten years later, HOG have not lost the spark. In fact, this could this surpass everything they have done. One of the finest releases of the year [2020]." G-PA



Essential Tracks: "'Travelogue', and the following tune, 'Afternoon T', deliver the goods and knock me out. Both songs are filled with emotion, light and dark, that will take you on a musical journey that oozes Gnaty passion and musical skills out the yazoo." G-PA

The Enid are a British progressive rock band founded in 1973 by the keyboardist Robert John Godfrey, previously known for his work with Barclay James Harvest. Other core members have included founding guitarists Steve Stewart and Francis Lickerish, and longstanding drummer Dave Storey. The Enid's membership has undergone many changes, always with Godfrey at the helm. The current lineup consists of Godfrey, guitarist Jason Ducker and drummer Karl Thompson.

And Then There Were Three. With the current band members, the band has regained a stability not seen since the 1980s because of the brotherly love that binds us. Come walk with us. Plans are afoot, and there is much to do. As the end of my life draws nearer, I mean to leave the band's affairs in a good place for those who come after me. RJG
