The Alchemist's Apprentice (LP)

MAN IN A ROOM, Steven Connolly has finally released his debut Album and it has been a long wait. It is not for the want of creativity from this Irish man. It is quite simply that this LP has a lot of ground to cover. The work itself endeavors to convey the joys, the struggles and the mystery of a human condition. With an epic cinematic opening instrumental, we begin with a mystery and there is a real sense of journey from here on inwards. We find many observations and milestones as we progress deeper. Each subject and song is so carefully considered and guided beautifully by deep and atmospheric soundscapes. These are spaces to get lost in, or maybe to be found in?.
