What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



His masterpiece for me. More like a piece of classical work. Performed live with the London Symphony Orchestra.
Based on the Jules Verne classic, a narration (David Hemmings) at various points describing the unfolding events.
There are some vocals, by Gary Pickford-Hopkins and Ashley Holt which are passable, but take a backseat to the music
here. That and the beautiful English Chamber Choir. I see there was a sequel to this album titled Return To The
Centre Of The Earth, released in 1999. Never heard that and would probably be disappointed as nothing could equal
this one. Although the album listing shows four different tracks here, there is no band seperation, so there is no
way I can score each track. The only part I don't care for is the guitar solo somewhere is the middle of side one.
Other than that, a superb album. It went to #1 in the UK and #3 in the states.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM
