Шикарный проект. The Prisoner. Hey.

:057-music-1:

5-й альбом из серии Excalibur французского музыканта и продюсера- Алана Симона ,и ни одна из предыдущих частей не обладает таким драйвом и таким напором, как эта. Каждая композиция, как ослепительный взрыв, поражает своими красками. Кроме восхищённых эпитетов , этот альбом ничего не вызывает.Тут тебе и classic-rock , и блюз, и прог, и фолк-всего достаточно на любой вкус ,но стилизовано больше конечно под фолк-рок. Обалденнно-замечательная работа ,которую ждал! Есть все 4 CD серии Excalibur замечательного француза ,и эту тоже куплю в обязательном порядке! Видимо начал писАть музыку давно, раз фигурирует покойный Джон Уэттон 10\10

“‘Excalibur’ brought me a lot of happiness because by creating this musical round table, I had the great chance to collaborate with incredible rock and folk legends, pillars of mythical groups: Yes, Supertramp, Fleetwood Mac, King Crimson, The Moody Blues, Alan Parson, Asia, Barclay James Harvest, Genesis, Fairport Convention, Runrig, Jethro Tull, Saga, Uriah Heep... Since its creation 20 years ago ‘Excalibur’ has represented 5 studio and 3 live albums including 120 original tracks. Offering a new album is not trivial. You have to give everything. So I made this opus V by investing myself 100% with an ‘old-fashioned’ production. No home studio but the joy of living in a large studio (Drums code studios in Italy) with great soloists and a fantastic symphony. Then I contacted magical interpreters that I like. What a joy to hear the guitars of the legendary pillars of Genesis and Jethro Tull: Steve Hackett and Martin Barre or the voices of Supertramp from Saga and Uriah Heep: Jesse Siebenberg, Michael Sadler and Bernie Shaw without forgetting this incredible talented singer Roberto Tiranti. We spent 6 months in a mixing studio with an average of 100 tracks per title. I hope that this more rock album than the previous ones will sign a real return on stage of this universal legend, ‘ever green’ say the English. Thank you to all those who supported ‘Excalibur.’ After 300 000 spectators in 4 tours, I hope that this musical round table finally finds its audience under the aegis of sharing. These 12 new songs underline the urgency to get moving for our planet. More than ever our destiny is in our hands. And everything is good to take. The concept of Excalibur and its musical knights must contribute to this new start. Artists can (and must) get involved more than ever.” - Alan Simon
