Scottish proggers Comedy Of Errors have been on something of a productive roll of late, since the thankful retreat of the Covid curtain of doom. This new 2023 release comes hot on the heels of the previous album Time Machine, only a year or so later, and shows a band absolutely bursting with ideas, as any thoughts of the two albums being almost like a double album released in two halves proves way off the mark. Time Machine was an absolute highlight in the band’s catalogue, it must be said, and certainly up their with their finest releases, but what it did not try to do was to redefine the parameters of the band’s sound and musical identity in any way. Threnody For A Dead Queen, on the other hand, does exactly that. The band have always had a knack for immediate, melodic and grandiose neo-prog, and indeed it is that neo-prog label which they have always had applied to them, even in the case of more oblique releases such as the deeply personal Spirit in 2015. With Threnody For A Dead Queen, the band largely lay waste to those neo-prog roots, or at least the more overt manifestations of them, in favour of an album owing more to the likes of Tangerine Dream than those of Marillion in places (composer Jim Johnston perhaps tipping his hat to some of his keyboard inspirations), and requiring considerably more than a single cursory listen to reveal most of its charms.
