With ex-band members of The Flower Kings and Van Der Graaf Generator in the ranks, The Tangent can be considered a prog supergroup. The fourth album Not As Good As The Book is a concept album spread over two CDs. The story is told from the perspective of the baby boomer. Over time, that generation finds out that the future is disappointing if you have to live it through. In other words, 'the future
… was not as good as the book'. With almost a hundred minutes of music, this double album is a tasty bone for fans of progressive rock. (PdK)more
