Journey to the Centre of the Earth - (excerpt)
Performer: Rick Wakeman
Distributor: IDN Distribution Notes: Rick Wakeman's first release for the Reality/AAO label, this 9-track collection features Wakeman's post-millennial re-visioning of some of his most beloved songs, including "Jane Seymour" and a truncated "Journey To The Centre of the Earth." He also applies his synthesizer wizardry to chestnuts like "Paint it Black" and "Eleanor Rigby."
Keyboardist Rick Wakeman (who also played with the Strawbs and several other acts as a session player in the 1960s) began releasing solo albums while still a member of Yes, and let no grass grow under his feet after leaving that band for good in 1979. The ever-inventive composer and player has released over 100 albums since the '70s (nine in 1991 alone) and played on many more. With elaborate stage-shows (including a King Arthur on Ice in 1975 at Wembley Pool) and a musical style that balances prog rock with new age and just about every other keyboard-based pop style in between, he's carved a unique niche for himself. Between releasing albums, he also scores films, has hosted a weekly radio program, and is a familiar face on British chat shows.
