Songs From the Lion's Cage is the debut record by the neo progressive rock supergroup, Arena. Leading this project are ex-Marillion Mick Pointer and Pendragon's Clive Owen. Old Testament references thematically link across the track list along with a four part instrumental, Crying For Help. Steve Rothery of Marillion appears as a guest soloist on IV and his guitar presence could have been utilized far more expansively. As vocalist, John Carson amply tributes Fish at every twist and turn behind the microphone. Although not wholly original and perhaps rather derivative around a few rough corners, this is an above board studio effort. The closer Solomon is a rather extravagant listening experience.

Possibly my favourite neo-prog out there. Solomon is an excellent epic, Jericho is brilliant, Valley is amazing.
