Disciple – Damian Wilson
In his Career Damian Wilson has sang with Threshold, Landmarq, Jeronimo Road, Ayreon and Rick Wakeman. I wasn’t keen on him in Jeronimo Road and I have reservations about his voice in some parts of Wakeman’s catalogue but I found him OK overall and he is a really nice bloke personally. Damian has also sung […]
The Polio Paradox – Richard L. Bruno H.D., Ph. D.
I read this book because it was recommend by the specialist that originally diagnosed my M.E., Dr Elizabeth Dowsett. She actually gives the book a recommendation on the back cover. I was diagnosed in 1994 and have fairly religiously stuck to her advice but there was only so much information that could be passed to […]
Star One Featuring Ayreon Concerts September 2002
Star One Featuring Ayreon – De Boerderij, Zoetermeer – 28 Sep 2002 Well I have just witnessed one of the best gigs I have seen in years. I had high expectations, as it was an Ayreon/Star One gig. This was better in almost every respect. I am not the greatest fan of the Star One […]
Karnataka Interview – 4 June 2002
This write up is very verbose and I expect a lot of people will think it needs a good edit but from my point of view it is better to let fans read all the detail they want than to cut it down. I would hope that people who find it too long can just […]
A Weekend With Ayreon's Arjen Lucassen, Erik Norlander and Lana Lane
Lana Lane/Eric Norlander – DeBoerderji, Zoetermeer, NL – 27 April 01 I set off from Ipswich at 9am and made it to the venue about 6.45pm. I was a bit later than I meant to be since all the waits for changes of connection to the hotel delayed things somewhat. It had been two trains […]
Rick Wakeman – Two Sides Of Yes
This disc has slipped out without a mention from Rick or his website. The first I heard of it was on a Classic Rock Legends Catalogue. It is now also making advertising in main Magazines. Wondrous Stories normally seem to be ahead of the rest with their adverts and it is currently on their back […]
Clive Nolan and Oliver Wakeman – The Jabberwocky
I have written this review with two lists in mind so bare with me 🙂 1. Overture – This gets the disc off to a cracking start. Good keyboards and Bob Catley singing a very interesting vocal line. 2 – Coming to town – This is another Catley song. And it reminds me of an […]
Rick Wakeman – Themes
I am bored so I thought I would do the review even though I am not completely sure what I think yet. Fanfare – This is a track very much in the Wakeman with Wakeman mould. It is OK but nothing special to me so far. Bassolla – This is rather an inverted song to […]
Gole and Hero – Soundtracks By Rick Wakeman
I have just spent the Last two days watching German Language Versions of Gole and The Hero. It was interesting to see that Gole has a few bits of Extra Music. I think mainly because they were not long enough. Or my Memory is it’s usual bad self and I am wrong. The Gole World […]
The Making Of Surreal State Circus – Rick Wakman – Video
My copy of this video came today and I guess it was much as I had expected it to be hence the reason for having delayed buying it for so long. It is a kind of homemade production. Certainly not normal Tv Standards. And the sounds include from Rick are of very poor quality. I […]
