Gil Galad
The John Walker Imaginarium: Time Shift
Symphonic Neo-Progressive Rock โข 69:37 โข United Kingdom โข 2026
Formed in 1979 by a group of students, three of the original members, Paul, Kev and Nev, resumed composing music in 2015 after a very long hiatus. Following a first album in 2024 inspired by entrepreneur John Walker, they are now presenting their third release with ambitions of conquering the progressive rock world. My first listen was excellent, but thanks to this album becoming lost on my hard drive, I am only writing about it today.
"Prisoners in Time" opens with a spacey introduction built around the sound of a relentless, stressful clock. The production is crystal clear, with keyboards recalling 1980s Genesis, combined with the dynamism of neo-prog bands such as Marillion, IQ and Frost*. The distinctive vocal style moves from vocoder effects to something almost archangelic in the distance. The track develops into a thoroughly progressive excursion with extended keyboard passages, symphonic flourishes and a cinematic outro.
"We Are Scientists Not Philosophers" begins as a piano-led nursery rhyme with a charismatic vocal performance. It evolves into a gentle, sentimental ballad, its trumpet encouraging a stroll through green fields. Cinematic elements, spoken narration and a growing sense of unease lead into a dramatic restart, somewhere between the worlds of Lewis Carroll and Alan Parsons.
"The Traveller - Alternative Destiny" opens with an introduction worthy of The Big Blue, before launching into an energetic, metronomic prog-metal riff that grows ever larger. The atmosphere shifts completely, becoming deep and abyssal, with echoes of classic Ange-era progressive rock through its distinctive keyboard textures. The vocal delivery hints at vintage Marillion and even Twelfth Night. The result is a powerful blend of energy, grandeur and rhythm crowned by an Olympic-scale chorus.
"A Chance to Speak" serves as a narrative interlude, offering a moment of reflection.
"The Watchers" follows with aggressive synthesizers dominating the airwaves, drawing inspiration from Aragorn's world. A cinematic section featuring Nev's distant voice creates a striking impact. The track is atmospheric and progressive in the best traditional sense, yet avoids mere repetition or nostalgia.
"Escape from York" is a vibrant instrumental, energetic and hypnotic in equal measure, with synthesizers flying in every direction. Helicopter sounds appear, creating a martial, innovative Wallace-like universe. An insistent bass-driven outro then leads into "A Walk in the Woods", featuring Japanese-flavoured instrumentation and the female vocals of Linzi rather than Victoria. A sense of languid introspection emerges, like the soundtrack to a reflective film, before martial drumming reasserts itself.
"Dreams of Samira" begins acoustically, with velvety vocals recalling RPWL. It is a journey through the dreams of Alice, or perhaps Samira herself. Mellotron-rich synthesizers take centre stage, balanced by delicate piano and a soaring guitar solo that evokes Geoff's finest work (This is Paul not Geoff)
"The Burghers" changes direction completely with its electronic-alternative character driven by explosive synth pads. A mantra-like atmosphere accompanies the memorable vocal line, while the keyboard solo recalls classic Genesis. The unusual combination of a metronomic beat and angelic background vocals creates a fascinatingly strange effect, packed with ideas.
"Before Today Is Yesterday" follows with flowing keyboards and a gentle, nostalgic mood. Voice and narration intertwine in a ballad reminiscent of Tony Banks. The combination of a Bowie-like deep voice and weeping synthesizers creates a memorable journey through the misty landscapes of Albion.
"Darkened Embers of Suspicion" emerges from beyond the grave. Its Zeppelin-inspired riff carries the listener into an enchanting world that evokes One Thousand and One Nights. It offers the ears a chance to rest amid the album's constant inventiveness, before a dark outro gives way to "The Strange Long Night".
This latter track introduces a smooth piano accompaniment and a soft pop vocal style that recalls Sunday afternoon easy listening or Saturday evening jazz. Although somewhat detached from the rest of the album, a fine guitar solo rescues the piece. Fortunately, "The Storm" soon arrives like a bolt of lightning bursting from threatening clouds and restoring the album's cinematic atmosphere. The keyboards roar, making way for a razor-sharp prog-metal guitar solo. Solemnity, energy and explosive momentum combine brilliantly, bringing the listener's focus back to its peak.
A final flash of lightning introduces "The Nature of Time", built upon crystalline piano, contemplative ambience and melancholic balladry. Its minimalist refrain gently closes this musical book.
Gil Galad delivers a cinematic form of progressive rock inspired by a constantly changing world, much like Doctor Who, with John Walker once again battling the strange and the unknown. It is a fantasy concept enriched by colourful progressive music that appears to emerge from one dimension and enter another. Nearly eighty minutes of cinematic prog rock inspired by multiple realities and utopian worlds that authors such as H.G. Wells or Tolkien might have imagined. Paul, Nev and Kev contribute an abundance of keyboard textures, while Geoff acts as master of the guitar solo (correctionโฆ Geoff only plays on Track 10 it is Paul on this Album). Together they have created the kind of progressive rock album I scarcely dared hope for anymore.

Overall, this is a very positive review. Brutus particularly praises the album's cinematic scope, keyboard work, variety of ideas, symphonic neo-prog character, and the guitar solos, while only expressing mild reservations about The Strange Long Night, which he felt sat slightly apart from the rest of the album. The conclusion is strongly enthusiastic and describes the album as the sort of progressive rock release he had long hoped to hear again.

The John Walker Imaginarium, Time Shift
nรฉo-progressif symphonique - 69:37 - Royaume-Uni 2026
Gil Galad crรฉรฉ en 1979 par des รฉtudiants dont trois membres, Paul, Kev et Nev, ont recommencรฉ ร composer en 2015, une paille. Un 1er album en 2024 inspirรฉ par lโentrepreneur John Walker, un 3e prรฉsentement avec lโenvie de conquรฉrir le monde musical. La premiรจre รฉcoute avait รฉtรฉ excellente et puis un oubli dans mon disque dur me fait vous en parler quโaujourdโhui.
โPrisoners in Timeโ entame spatiale sur une horloge stressante, le son clair, synthรฉs sur Genesis des 80 avec le dynamisme, le nรฉo de Marillion, IQ, Frost*, le vocal singulier vocodรฉ puis fleurant lโarchange au loin, รงa cause. La dรฉclinaison envoie sur le cรดtรฉ progressif, longue suite de claviers รฉclairรฉs; du nรฉo ร touche symphonique, lโoutro cinรฉmatique. โWe are Scientists not Philosophersโ en comptine piano et voix charismatique, ballade guimauve avec sa trompette pour se promener dans les champs verts. La dรฉrive cinรฉmatographique, voix off, crescendo angoissant avant le redรฉmarrage, dans lโunivers de Carroll et dโAlan Parsons. โThe Traveller - Alternative Destinyโ pour lโintro digne du grand bleu, amenant ce riff prog mรฉtal รฉnergique, mรฉtronomique, gonflant jusquโaux oreilles. Le climat change du tout au tout, abyssal, rรฉminiscence du prog dโAnge dโantan avec ce clavier typรฉ. La voix un zeste de Marillion de la grande รฉpoque, un autre des Twelfth Night, du lourd. De lโรฉnergie, de lโemphase et du rythme sur un choeur olympien. โA Chance to Speakโ suit sur la touche interlude ร narration, le temps de se poser. โThe Watchersโ enchaรฎne, synthรฉs agressifs, envahissant lโair, sur Aragon; une section cinรฉmatique avec la voix lointaine de Nev faisant des ravages. Cโest planant et prog comme au bon vieux temps sans la redite et le vintage. โEscape from Yorkโ pour cet instrumental รฉnergique, mรฉlange tonique et hypnotique avec les synthรฉs fusant de toute part. Lโhรฉlicoptรจre arrive, lโunivers wallien, martial, innovant; outro insatiable sur la basse et โA Walk in the Woodsโsurgit, air nippon de lโinstrumentation et voix fรฉminine de Linzi et non Victoria; la langueur qui sโensuit instaure un climat de dรฉtente en bande son de film pour lโintrospection avec la batterie martiale.
โDreams of Samiraโ pour lโentame acoustique, la voix veloutรฉe renvoyant ร RPWL, ballade dans les rรชves dโAlice ou de Samira. Le titre mettant les synthรฉs dont un Mellotron fondant en vedette, canalisรฉs par le piano dรฉlicat et le solo guitare prenant de Geoff. โThe Burghersโ change du tout au tout avec ce cรดtรฉ รฉlectro-alternatif emmenรฉ par les pads explosifs. Lโair mantranique suit la voix entรชtante, le solo clavier fleure ceux de Genesis; sensation รฉtrange sur le beat mรฉtronomique avec lโArchange en fond, bref idรฉes en pagaille. โBefore Today is Yesterdayโ suit, air guimauve du clavier fondant; voix et son coulis de voix-off en ballade banksienne. Lโassociation voix grave fleurant Bowie et le synthรฉ larmoyant vaut le dรฉtour, emmenant sur les terres feutrรฉes dโAlbion. โDarkened Embers of Suspicionโ dโoutre-tombe, le riff zeppelininen amenant sur les territoires des 1001 nuits ensorcelants. Un morceau reposant lโoreille devant tant de nouveautรฉs; outro dark et โThe Strange Long Nightโ introduit le piano suave sur une voix pop guimauve, style variรฉtรฉ du dimanche ou jazz du samedi. Le solo guitare sauve ces minutes dissociรฉes de lโalbum, usure? Heureusement โThe Stormโ tel un รฉclair arrive sortant de ce nuage musical menaรงant et nous remettant dans le climat cinรฉmatique. Les claviers vrombissent et cโest le moment pour un solo guitare metal prog aiguisรฉ, lโรฉclair peut-รชtre. Du solennel avec de lโรฉnergique, de lโexplosif ร entrain et la concentration revient au firmament; un dernier รฉclair pour introduire โThe Nature of Timeโ sur le piano cristallin, lโair ambient contemplatif et la ballade mรฉlancolique, rengaine minimaliste pour refermer ce livre musical.
Gil Galad propose un rock progressif cinรฉmatographique inspirรฉ dโun monde changeant comme dans โDoctor Whoโ avec un John Walker luttant ร nouveau contre lโรฉtrange, le bruit. Un concept fantastique agrรฉmentรฉ dโune musique progressive bariolรฉe sortant dโune dimension pour entrer dans une nouvelle de notre dรฉcennie. 80 minutes de rock prog cinรฉmatique inspirรฉ par un monde aux diverses rรฉalitรฉs utopiques รฉcrites par Wells ou Tolkien par exemple, un truc schizoรฏde avec Paul, Nev et Kev aux claviers et Geoff en maรฎtre du solo guitare pour un album prog comme je nโosais plus espรฉrer.
