2. The Poet and the Priest ~ Gavin O'Loghlen The long awaited solo album from the composer of Australian Progressive Celtic ensemble "Cotters Bequest". The album sits very comfortably in the genre of Symphonic Progressive music and features swirling Mellotrons, Minimoogs, Hammond organs and Prophet synthesizers in a soundscape of moody introverted lyrics, soaring solos and haunting rhythms.

3. An autobiographical concept, it traces the lives of two boys with O'Loghlen appearing as 'the poet' of the title. The CD inlay lists an extensive array of instruments all played by O'Loghlen essentially providing background colouring with keyboards generally and synths especially providing the focal point.

7. On the CD The Poet And The Priest the concept story is about two young friends and the development of their friendship and life. The music sounds like melodic symphonic prog featuring lush vintage keyboards, sensitive electric guitar work and pleasant vocals that reminds me of fellow Australian Les Dougan (from legendary Australian neo- progrock band Aragon) and Fish because of the tonation.
