Description
The Esoteric Antenna label is pleased to release and support the new EP in aid of the Parkinsons Society UK, Spectral Mornings 2015. The project was the brainchild of Rob Reed (of Magenta & Kompendium) who explains; Ive always loved the piece Spectral Mornings by Steve Hackett, (the classic instrumental from his 1979 album of the same name).
It had a great guitar melody and thought it would be amazing to re-record with the addition of some lyrics. I contacted David Longdon from Big Big Train who I wanted to sing it.
David wrote the lyrics & we did a demo, which sounded fantastic. I also had the idea of it being a duet, so we asked Christina Booth from my band Magenta to sing it. We then had to play the demo to Steve Hackett to make sure he liked it, which thankfully he did.
