Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate - Light Of Ancient Mistakes

Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate (Malcolm Galloway and Mark Gatland) combine progressive/alt-rock, classical, experimental, electronic, and metal influences. This is their 7th album. Malcolm Galloway is a former consultant neuropathologist and medical school honorary senior lecturer. They have been recommended by Genesis legend Steve Hackett. They have been developing a cult reputation after stepping in at the last minute to replace an injured band on the main stage at Hard Rock Hell's 2017 Prog Festival, opening for Magnum, Focus and Carl Palmer (Hard Rock Hell magazine - 'unlikely stars who stole the show'). The centrepiece of the album is 'Walking To Aldebaran', inspired by Adrian Tchaikovsky's science fiction novella. Other tracks were inspired by the authors Iain M Banks, Philip K Dick, John le Carré and Chris Bryant. The themes explored include the long-term impact of atrocities, the dehumanisation of others, invisible disability, environmental destruction and failures of communication
