Circular Logik is the latest project from multi instrumentalist Phil Vincent and is a companion piece to his Tragick project released earlier this year. On first listen it’s easy to see why One has been issued under a different name to either the Phil Vincent or Tragick monicker as this album shows a completely different side to Vincent's  song writing. The songs are varied across all of the thirteen tracks and, whilst it sits firmly in the hard rock genre for the most part there is little sign of the AOR that comprises his solo work and in general the whole affair is more blues influenced than Tragick. Indeed the songs cover a whole gamut of styles, from the almost sleazy glam rock of opener Welcome Home and Killing Me Inside and the album closer It’s All Over to the acoustic driven Zeppelin-esque Right Here and the heavier Led Zeppelin influence Led Wait. Then there's the pop rock stylings of Time Killer and the out and out blues that is You Make Me Weak.

On the whole One is an excellent collection of songs with arguably the highlight being the prog rock/Pink Floyd influenced Won’t Let You Go/Lost Without You. What comes over especially is Vincent’s love of Paul McCartney, with many of the vocals passages and arrangements reminiscent of the recently divorced former Beatles maestro's songs. On top of that there is also the excellent guitar work that is featured throughout and a production that proves to be clear and uncluttered, helping rather than hindering the feel of the album. In truth One is a bit of a winner and it's easy to see the "Logick" in giving this an 8/10 mark.
