Now available for pre-order RICK WAKEMAN, JEFF WAYNE, KEVIN PEEK \u201cBeyond the Planets\u201d Limited Edition of 100, Hand Numbered, 180 Gram Clear Vinyl personally SIGNED by Rick Wakeman! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you even wondered what would happen if the king of progressive rock keyboards teamed up with the bloke who wrote \u201cThe War Of The Worlds\u201d rock opera and the guitarist with the late lamented Classical Rock group Sky? Well, you need wonder no longer! A reviewer on the Prog Archives writes: \u201cBeyond the planets\u201d is essentially the performance of Holst’s \u201cThe planets\u201d in a rock context. Wayne’s contribution is limited to the composition of an Overture for the album. As this ends, some brief narration by Patrick Allen is heard. Allen does a great impression of Richard Burton, which when combined with Wayne’s distinctive sound, immediately creates echoes of \u201cWar of the Worlds.\u201d Allen returns a couple of times during the album to link tracks together with further brief narration. The familiar introduction to \u201cMars\u201d (as used by Rainbow on \u201cEyes of the World\u201d among many others) then takes over, and we launch into a full rendition of \u201cThe Planets suite.\u201d The music is performed dramatically and faithfully throughout, with Peek using various guitar sounds according to the mood of the piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
