Sean Filkins, Big Big Train vocalist on the Gathering Speed and The Difference Machine albums has just released a solo album.

The album is very much a traditional prog rock album. The closest BBT comparison may be the retro stylings of Gathering Speed, but the sound is perhaps more akin to early Marillion than early Genesis. Lots of very prog moments, sound effects and extended songs and themes. The vocals are excellent and there is some great playing from many guest players. Sean's vocals sound better than on the Lee Abraham's solo and the variety of songs shows he has great scope.
