So, you get an album which features Tony Banks in his first progressive rock turn in quite a few years, and then you inform your loyal band of readers & listeners that this is NOT the only reason you should buy said album. In fact, you recommend the album simply because it is a work of genius, deeply moving, intelligent, and ticking just about every box there is.

Rocking Horse Music Club released The Last Pink Glow, a work inspired by the unfinished Jack Kerouac novella, The Haunted Life. It is a staggering work of art, and it simply had to win an award here. So, The Ballad of Joe Martin, gets the vote. The album is available at https://brian-coombes.squarespace.com/
