I must have read a review in Prog Rock magazine and decided to check it out while visiting London.
The vocals of Marjana are interesting - more Jacky's sort of thing than mine (this is one of the rare albums she enjoys), and Gleb's piano is of the minimalist school, which I like.
Other prog musicians guest on Lighthouse, notably Gavin Harrison and Colin Edwin from Porcupine Tree, and Mariusz Duda from Riverside.
It's a three-star rating from me because while a lot of it sounds pleasant/beautiful and it works well in the background (and Jacky likes it), it doesn't stay long in the memory for me.
Where do they all belong? A one off (goes in the Jacky section of the collection)
