The View from My Window is centered on the 20-minute epic Suite: Dreams, which explores the world of dreams and the subconscious. This is the most heavily orchestrated Manning album to date, a blend of all the textures and emotions that make progressive rock what it is, without ever sounding demonstrative, technical, or overblown. Guy’s songwriting is stronger than ever on this material, but he also allows his group more instrumental sections in which to shine. Gareth Harwood is in fine form with some incisive guitar solos, while Laura Fowles provides shade and texture with her saxophone work. Guest Tim Moon contributes flute, fiddle, cello, and whistles. Long-time collaborator Andy Tillison (The Tangent) assists with keyboards, drums, and production. Guy’s Hammond and Mellotron work is as strong as ever, but it’s his distinctive voice that carries the songs.
