Chaos and a Dancing Star

Marc Almond

Released

2020

Marc Almond’s resparked full solo career came with the help of highflying musical journeyman Chris Braide, but while The Velvet Trail was serviceable enough, things clicked a little more strongly all around with Chaos And A Dancing Star, a sleekly polished effort from a now comfortable musical veteran. “Chaos” is a spiky bit of polite glam-rock inspiration, while an inspired guest performance from Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson, giving a turn on flute on “Lord of Misrule,” reconfirms Almond’s long-held but sometimes obscured love of prog rock in turn.
