И в том же интервью: «Напевная тематическая простота этого лонгплея объясняется моей склонностью играть в архаичной манере». Что же означал этот стилистический поворот? Новый зигзаг в его творчестве? Заранее подготовленную неожиданность? Или настоящий кризис автора? Неуспех почти всех его последующих альбомов и концертных турне свидетельствовал, скорее, о последнем. На альбоме «Islands» есть приличная продолжительная инструментовка «The Wind Chimes», но там же куча попсы с вокалистами Максом Бэйконом (из GTR), Кевином Эйрсом и Бонни Тайлер. Высоким качеством отличался, пожалуй, лишь диск «Amarok», который содержал одну композицию часовой продолжительности в звучании и был записан с использованием экзотических инструментов.

Tigermoth Records are excited to announce the release of the second album by Chimpan A, The Empathy Machine an amazing 14 years in the making. The core of the band are vocalist Steve Balsamo (Balsamo Deighton, Jesus Christ Superstar, Eric Woolfson) and multi-instrumentalist Robert Reed (Magenta, Sanctuary, Kompendium). The album follows their self-titled debut album, released in 2006, and will be released on April 10th 2020.

The album’s title ‘Preaching to the Choir’ has different meanings, on different levels. When applied to the band Kalle Wallner says, “It’s about blind understanding. When you get the right people on board, there is no need for lengthy explanations. You just hit the recording button. And when you then give the right musicians the right music … that’s when they help you take it to the next level.” He goes on to say, “No need to convince anybody, no discussions. And no compromises are necessary. You just pump it out.”

Tubular Bells II is the fifteenth studio album by English multi-instrumentalist and composer Mike Oldfield. It was released on 31 August 1992 by WEA and Reprise Records as the successor to his debut album, Tubular Bells (1973). After his contract with Virgin Records ended at the end of 1991, Oldfield signed with Warner and started work on a sequel to Tubular Bells. In 1998, Oldfield released Tubular Bells III.

The album initially sold slowly, but gained worldwide attention in December 1973 when its opening theme was used for the soundtrack to the horror film The Exorcist (1973). This led to a surge in sales which increased Oldfield's profile and played an important part in the growth of the Virgin Group. It stayed in the top ten of the UK Albums Chart for one year from March 1974, during which it reached number one for one week. It peaked at number three on the US Billboard 200, and reached the top position in Canada and Australia. The album has sold over 2.7 million copies in the UK and an estimated 15 million worldwide.

It’s understandable that one could be sceptical of a release such as this. After all, Mr Wakeman has cashed in on his Yes connection as well as his own back catalogue more times than I can possibly count. Yessonata certainly has all the trappings of a cash grab…
… but what a glorious cash grab it is: pure unadulterated sonic beauty straight from Wakeman’s Steinway into your ears.
It’s fair to assume that most punters who go to a Rick Wakeman concert expect to hear a bit of Yes, so the maestro decided to form The Yes Suite for band and choir to be played at the London Palladium last year. It proved so popular that he adapted the idea for solo piano and called it Yessonata, incorporating a multitude of themes from Wakeman’s time with Yes (because you’ll be damned if you hear him playing any Relayer).

The Other Side of Life is the twelfth studio album by English progressive rock band the Moody Blues, released in April 1986 by Polydor Records.
This was the first Moody Blues album since 1978's Octave, and only the second since 1969's On the Threshold of a Dream, not to be released by their custom label, Threshold Records. Beginning with this album, and continuing through 1999's Strange Times, albums would be branded "in association with Threshold Records".
