Hi
Just got the brand new Clive Nolan and Oliver Wakeman cd "Hound of the Baskervilles" today and its bloomin brilliant!
Thankfully the dodgy production that dogged Jabberwocky (no pun intended!!) isn't present, indeed its quite dynamic with some great bass in parts.
Performances from the usual suspects (Bob Catley as Sir Henry and Tracy Hitchings as Beryl stapleton amongst others)are up to the usual high standards, indeed tracys track really surprised me as to how rocking she can actually go
I really have only just given it a quick spin (68 minutes long) so will obviously need more time to judge but at this moment I'm going out on a limb and going to say that its better than "Jabberwocky" (and that was good) although it is a LOT darker. Also Robert Powells (yes that Robert powell) narration is very good as well.
It also seems to be a good "headphone" album as there are sometimes in the mix three vocalists going on.

Coolvij, I'd reccomend this as its a great introduction into the whos who of prog rock at the moment.
Cheers
