(Progressive Rock) Henry Fool - Henry Fool - 2001, WAVPack (image+.cue), lossless

Put together by NO-MAN's vocalist/guitarist Tim Bowness, this band features PENDRAGON drummer Fudge Smith as well as keyboardist Stephen Bennett (who shares compositional duties with Bowness), bassist Peter Chilvers, guitarist Mike Bearpark and sax player Myke Clifford. Their eponymous album, released in 2001, was mixed by Steven Wilson (PORCUPINE TREE) whose imprint is unmistakable.
Although NO-MAN first comes to mind when you first hear the lyrics, the band's material is heavily rooted in jazz and psychedelia and comes off like some psychedelic version of PORCUPINE TREE or ECHOLYN, with the occasional nods to PINK FLOYD, SOFT MACHINE, KING CRIMSON, YES and IQ along the way. Drummer Fudge Smith also shows technical skills in the fusion realm he doesn't normally display within PENDRAGON. Their extensive use of keyboards (Mellotron, synths, electric piano, organ) evokes the 70's sound with moods altering between electric tension and relaxing, calm atmospheres. All this contributes to a rather pleasant, easy-going style that's not exactly groundbreaking but certainly not anywhere near neo-prog, despite some of the musicians' backgrounds.
If you're a fan of the bands mentioned above and with a particular penchant for ambient, spacy textures, you should certainly keep the name of the FOOL in your 'watch list'.
