Album Review: Steve Rothery - 'The Ghosts of Pripyat'. Label: Steve Rothery Music - SRB002 • Format: CD Album DVD DVD-Video, NTSC All Media Deluxe Edition, Special Edition • Country: UK • Genre: Rock • Style: Prog Rock Steve Rothery - The Ghosts Of Pripyat (2014, CD) | Discogs That in itself is one of the reasons he is so beloved as a guitarist: yes, he can be truly devastating when delivering a solo; yes, he can crank out a chunky riff with the best of them; but his playing is always in the service of the piece. A reflection of the strength of the band is that two previous live albums that Rothery has released in the run up to the release of this, his first studio album, were billed as being by ‘The Steve Rothery Band’. Reclaimed by nature, Pripyat makes for an eerie monument to those who died, and the displaced workers whose lives have never been the same. Tweet. From these tentative but wonderfully evocative beginnings, the track gradually builds in intensity, musically and emotionally until it becomes as powerfully elemental as the sea that is its muse. The closing two minutes display another marked influence, as the band dial up the blissful introspection into a dynamic gallop, accompanied by some very Latimer-esque playing, as Rothery tips his hat to another formative influence. Genres: Progressive Rock. Whilst The Ghosts Of Pripyat is a solo album in name, Rothery has assembled a strong band to record it. Working on the tracks right up to the production deadline, the album has been a real labour of love for the Marillion guitarist. It is not a ornate shred-fest, nor is it a somnolent none-more-authentic bore; the music – like Rothery’s playing – is effortlessly melodic and atmospheric, almost a film soundtrack without a film. di Michele Bordi. The closing section in particular is one of the feistiest things that Rothery has committed to tape recently, featuring some forthright riffing built on top of a powerful performance by the assembled musicians, notably the muscular rhythm section of Halimi and Parr. I was a big fan of his work with Fish-era Marillion; his wonderfully crafted solos, particularly on Script for a Jester’s Tear and Fugazi, were an essential part of the Marillion sound. Perhaps understandably the most intensely moving track, this is very special indeed.The album opens in almost cinematic style with ‘Morpheus’. You can almost taste the icy chill of the howling winter winds. View credits, reviews, tracks and shop for the 2015 Digipak CD release of The Ghosts Of Pripyat on Discogs. Romano’s keys are especially important to this track, colouring in the backdrop to a musical safari whose shimmering heat haze makes for a warm, feelgood part of the album. Where ‘Morpheus’ was dreamy and reflective, ‘Kendris’ toys with a rolling, almost African-style drum pattern. Here, freed from the constraints of delivering songs – as in Marillion and The Wishing Tree – those sound paintings are given centre stage 100% of the time, and it’s testament to Rothery’s abilities as a player and a writer that the results never fail to hold your attention.Like any good soundtrack, each part of the album is very different in tone.
