@lukespiller.bsky.social's solo debut is *quite* good.
"Magic at Midnight in Mel's Diner" carries a mystic essence the likes of which would have been created by Steinman producing Mercury

Each track (so far) plays like a full production while also being seamlessly woven into the tapestry of the greater album. Not just in theme, but in sound. The literal through notes bouncing from each track-
If @lukespiller.bsky.social wasn't being tapped do a Bond theme before, he is, now. This must be one of the best solo- debut's in Rock history.-
-Lyrically and tonally captures the angst of love in a Steinman like manner
-Vocal Gravitas of Shirley Bassey, with equivalently masterful use of orchestra
-Flair and production of Mercury we come to expect from Luke
-Rock and Roll.
I didn't even *begin* to give the lyrics enough credit- again, there's something Steinman-like to them- they have a poetic beauty and-at times- absurdity that draw the listener in while each melodic note surrounds them, pulling them deeper and deeper into the experience
