 Troy DONOCKLEY The Pursuit of Illusion [NH]: Classical CD Reviews- Nov 2003 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Troy Donockley's second solo disc cannot in any way be described as mainstream classical but is an absolute stunner nonetheless.
Donockley is best known as a member of the brilliant Celtic Christian rock group Iona, who have made many magnificent recordings (e.g.
It ranges far and wide, from almost whispered, melancholic vocals (this time by Troy himself) set against tintinnabulating bells, through string driven meditations to full on choir and organ and sequenced arpeggios, and really has to be heard to be believed.

 Troy Donockley review by The Phantom Tollbooth
Troy Donockley plays the various woodwind instruments and pipes, and so it is not surprising that they are prominent in this, his first solo recording.
The track is apparently named for a stream where Donockley played as a child (there's a photo in the album sleeve) and the music could suggest the flow of a stream as it moves from calm gentle brook, to rapids, through gentle stretches, joining with more streams, and onwards.
Iona fans will want this album in their collections--the various musicians involved in Iona seem to be building up a selection of albums that explore in greater depth the various tributaries that combine to form the band's sound, and this particular tributary makes for a beautiful and often captivating exploration.

After all, the album features current and former band mates Troy Donockley, Nick Beggs, Tim Harries, Frank Van Essen, and yes, Joanne Hogg, although she is limited to lead vocals on only one song but does add a lot of wordless vocal textures elsewhere.
From Silence is Iona alums Dave Bainbridge on electric guitars, bazouki and keyboards, and Troy Donockley on whistles, Uilleann pipes, and acoustic guitar, recorded alone in historic Lincoln Cathedral, improvising an hour of spontaneous Celtic-influenced instrumental music.
Troy and Dave have captured a special musical event, when the muse, the emotion, the expression that issued forth came from the spirit rather than the mind, where joy poured out in fresh new songs that could only be created by two musicians with15 years of improvising together.

 Detailed Reviews [Donockley & Bainbridge - 2004 - "From Silence"] - ProgressoR
From Silence Part 6 5:35 All tracks: by Donockley & Bainbridge.
Apart from this album and those they did with Iona, Dave has one solo album to his credit: "Veil of Gossamer", and Troy two: "The Unseen Stream" and "The Pursuit of Illusion".
Nevertheless, from the viewpoint of progressive music, where the main values are the originality of structural and harmonic development and the expressiveness of melodic lines, amongst others, this project is hardly of interest to the genre's traditional audience.
