Out of stock. Get notified when available.
Double vinyl LP pressing. 2023 release, the new concept album from the keyboard legend. The conception of the album began at the age of five. Rick's childhood piano teacher, Mrs Symes, taught him that musicians with instruments are like an artist with paint; something that Rick carried through his life, creating sonic paintings through his composition. Wakeman says: One of my great loves is going to museums & art galleries & seeing all the different types of art, so I thought, why not a music gallery ?... A Gallery Of The Imagination ? People can paint their own mind pictures to the different types of music that are on the album. It is very diverse & for me it works very well because the concept holds it all together. Just as you might find a vast array of styles in an art gallery, Wakeman presents a plethora of musical aesthetics throughout the record. Inspired by the menagerie he created; Rick recalled the advice of his beloved teacher & has presented these tracks as pictures in a gallery; 'A Gallery Of The Imagination'. Amongst the many clear prog influences & soaring Moog solos, Wakeman treats the ears to two solo piano numbers, which reflect Rick's classical roots & his particular love of the romantic period. On the other eight unconventional vocal tracks, Rick showcases the distinctive descriptive music carefully around the poetic lyrics.
