Jeremy -Kingdom Come
Jeremy -
With his new album Kingdom Come, Jeremy completes the trilogy of instrumental progressive albums begun with Pilgrim’s Journey and Celestial City. This 73-minute album includes the 35-minute title track. Since Jeremy’s long tracks are comprised of many short themes, they flow by effortlessly. The first half of the album is more spacey and electronic than the previous albums, with loads of analog synths and backwards tape effects (a lost art). Jeremy’s electronic style is probably closest to Michael Garrison’s. This is blended with acoustic guitar-dominated passages that are generally peaceful and uplifting, contrasting nicely with the darker, slightly sinister electronics. Jeremy’s electric guitar asserts itself in the album’s second half, the music somewhat reminiscent of Anthony Phillips, early Mike Oldfield, Gordon Giltrap, and Gandalf. The 11-minute Meadows is a pastiche of themes from Pilgrim’s Journey and Celestial City, providing a fitting conclusion to the trilogy.
