In these interesting times, when life puts a forced pause on us, most of all we need to lift our spirits, to feel alive.\u00a0\u201cLife Motion\u201d is the fifth studio album of \u201cIntelligent Music Project.\u201d And this time in the band led by Milen Vrabevski, MD (author and producer) there are big world names – the drummer and co-producer of the release Simon Phillips, as well as the vocalists John Payne (ex-Asia) and Richard Grisman (River Hounds). Ronnie Romero, a singer who became famous for joining Rainbow in 2015, made his debut in it. And when we add respected Bulgarian musicians to this stellar team, it becomes quite clear that high class is being pursued at IMP.
\u201cEpidemic, crisis, contagion.\u201d Not a day goes by without hearing these words for more than a month. Indeed, the current situation is a test for everyone, but it also brings some positives – such as the opportunity to spend more time on (rediscovering) art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milen Vrabevski, MD says: \u201cI would like my children to grow up with the ideas I share in my albums, and instead of teaching them lectures about those ideas, I use the language of music, which is very universal and easy to understand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Legendary drummer Simon Phillips (Toto, Protocol, Mike Oldfield, The Who) gave two solos for the songs \u201cReflecting\u201d and \u201cRising\u201d on \u201cLife Motion,\u201d with music co-producers Dr. Vrabevski, Simon Phillips and Ivo Stefanov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon Phillips participated in the recordings not only on drums, but also as a music co-producer, together with Milen and Ivo Stefanov. The recordings were made in the fall of 2018 at Brotheryn Studios, California, by Simon Phillips and Ernest Tibbs (drums and percussion), Jesse Siebenberg (guitars, vocals) and Dave Palmer (pianos).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIndeed, the cast of the Intelligent Music Project resembles an ensemble of the elder statesmen of rock, featuring a collection of decorated artists like Toto drummer Simon Phillips and Asia lead vocalist John Payne. The evident talent of each individual member of the band shines through at various points during the album Throughout it all, the production stands out for its silky smoothness, stitching together each aspect of the band\u2019s throwback sound with commendable dexterity. ‘Sorcery Inside’ clearly attempts to be a modern-day alternative rock album, at times trading the traditional electrical-guitar driven sound for more experimental substitutes.\u201d – The Stanford Daily<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe chemistry and magic is bound to happen when you have great players and great songs.\u201d – John Payne<\/em>
\u201cWorking with Milen was pretty exciting, he is a great professional and composer and I will be back for the next album for sure!\u201d –\u00a0Ronnie Romero<\/em>
