This latest opus,the band's twelfth studio album, was mainly recorded during the same sessions of TLGA before, during and after the recent Covid emergency, by the various band members and finally edited, mixed and mastered, as usual, by engineer/producer extraordinaire Karl Groom from Threshold. Thus,the album line up is the same as the last one: i.e. Stu Nicholson (vocals), Dean Baker (keyboards) and Spencer Luckman (drums), Lee Abraham (guitars) and Mark Spencer (bass guitar). As is the case with TLGA, 'The Long Goodbye' has a crisp and clear contemporary production but still includes a variety of influences including a few nods to the band's progressive heritage particularly the epic closing title track in which the ageing process and the difficult and tricky subject of early onset dementia is tackled, hopefully withacertain degree of poignancy.
