Rocktopia: TEN - 'Babylon' - User CD Review

A Rocktopia user album review by Dairenn Lombard: After finding success in professional music at 22 in 1989, British rock prodigy Gary Hughes eventually launched TEN in 1996 and released their fifth album, Babylon, in 2000, the second release on the Frontiers label. According to the liner notes, Babylon is about a computer programmer's tragic love affair in a fictitious futuristic setting. As a consequence of Babylon taking the form of a concept album, you have the enigmatic accent of Gavin Fernie as the voice of a radio newscaster narrating the story through a series of reports between the songs. Even if you like concept albums like Operation:Mindcrime by Queensryche, you'll find the execution here to be contrived and cheesy. Read the full review on Rocktopia. http://ping.fm/q9QUA
