Παρακατω η ανακοινωση της InsideOut:

InsideOutMusic is pleased to announce that The Tangent will release their eighth studio album 'A Spark In The Aether - The Music That Died Alone Volume Two' on 20th April 2015 in Europe and 21st April 2015 in the US. The band, led by multi-instrumentalist Andy Tillison, is made up of Jonas Reingold (bass), Theo Travis (sax & flute), Luke Machin (guitar) & Morgan Ågren (drums).

 

Andy Tillison had this to say: "After all the different things we've done, this time it seemed right to come back to our prog roots and "stock in trade". At the same time we wanted to go somewhere new too, so we travelled to America in our Imaginations. We all hope you'll join us!"

 

Twelve years, eight studio albums, two live DVDs and tours that have taken them from Moscow to Quebec. Now one of the most enduring 3rd wave Progressive Rock bands on the scene returns - a band that has never made an album using the same personnel as the previous album.

 

In fact, the same line-up has (to date) never been used twice. But there are regulars. And some of the favourite regulars are back for the 8th album: Flower Kings' bass legend Jonas Reingold; the ever-faithful and gifted Theo Travis, familiar to many from his work with the Steven Wilson band, Gong and Robert Fripp, with his arsenal of wind textures from saxophones to flutes; and the return to the fold of the amazingly talented Luke Machin, a guitar hero for a new generation who can even wow the old generations (and who also fronts his own band, Maschine).

 

And of course there's band leader Andy Tillison (keyboards and vocals), the only member of the band to have played on all the records. This team is joined by Morgan Ågren, Swedish drumming phenomenon who can even count Frank Zappa among his previous jobs (others include, but not limited to, Kaipa, Devin Townsend and his own acclaimed Mats/Morgan Band).

 

Morgan introduces to The Tangent a real live energy full of inspiration and eccentricity. The new album is a Rock Album. It's a Prog album. It's a Funky album. It's a Pop album. It's the 8th Tangent album.

Παρακατω ενα πρωτο βιντεο που ανεβηκε σημερα με το ομωνυμο κομματι. Ο Andy Tillison εγραψε σχετικα:

"A Spark In The Aether" is the title track of the new album by The Tangent. In many ways it's a bit of a rallying cry to people to keep open minds about newer music in a world where remasters and re-issues are more eagerly anticipated than new material. But it's a hugely optimistic piece that's primarily about keeping a young spirit as you go through life.

 

The song was premiered on the 2014 tour and was filmed by several audience members who uploaded their clips of it to Youtube without knowing that we would use their clips to make our video. Of course it's an alternative version of the studio recording you're hearing as the soundtrack.

 

We wanted to make a video that showed the real energy of the band on stage, something that has always been important to the group who have never set much store by big light shows or video projections. 'We do it with our bodies'" is the philosophy. And what the fans do with our music, we use and give back to them".

Μπράβο που το ανέβασες Waterfall-K!  ;)

Είναι από τα αναμενόμενα για μένα άλμπουμ μέσα στο 2015!

Καθώς έχουμε πει και σε άλλο νήμα για τον Andy Tillison, δυστυχώς δεν έχει γνωρίσει την καταξίωση που του αρμόζει ενώ πρόκειται για ΤΕΡΑΣΤΙΟ καλλιτέχνη.

Οτιδήποτε κυκλοφορεί είναι άξιο μνείας γιατί γίνεται με τεράστιο προσωπικό του αγώνα (αν δει κανείς το blog του θα καταλάβει πολλά) και οι Tangent πάντοτε προσφέρουν κυκλοφορίες επιπέδου!

Καθώς έχουμε πει και σε άλλο νήμα για τον Andy Tillison, δυστυχώς δεν έχει γνωρίσει την καταξίωση που του αρμόζει ενώ πρόκειται για ΤΕΡΑΣΤΙΟ καλλιτέχνη.

Την καταξιωση που του αρμοζει την εχει και με το παραπανω, απο αυτους που πρεπει. Απλα δεν ειναι γνωστος στο πλατυ κοινο, που ετσι κι αλλιως το αυτι του δεν σκαμπαζει και πολλα. Αμ κι αυτος ο καψερος, τι περιμενε με τη μουσικη που γραφει? Δεν γινοταν "τραγουδιστης" της RAP να πνιγει στο εκατομμυριο και να τον ξερουν κι οι γατες? ;D
