Gavin will be a great addition to this lineup for the new album.  Well, I'll for sure have to add this to the list of needed albums now.

Hi,
 
It will probably be nice  ... but I can't help thinking that it will be ... over-rated! Embarrassed
 
We have this fantasy that mixing starts works, and in general, if this was science, it doesn't ... they eat each other up or explode! People is supposed to be better and different ... but it is not ... and some talents endup hidden and gone.
 
But it will be good to see Gavin do something else ... with a different punch. And I'm not sure that this music thing is different enough, and strong enough, other than notes and more notes by a group of smart players ... which usually means more ... (and sometimes better) ... notes!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

We're delighted to announce that the drummer working on the project will be Gavin Harrison. Whether it be Porcupine Tree, King Crimson, Jakko's albums, Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin, Kompendium or the Letterman Show - this guy has one hell of a reputation as one of the world's finest. He'll be starting the project within the next few weeks and it goes without saying we're looking forward to seeing what he comes up with on this demanding project.



The Tangent (Album Line-up)

Andy Tillison (The Tangent/ Po90)
Jonathan Barrett (The Tangent/ Po90) 
Jakko M. Jakszyk (Jakszyk, Fripp and Collins/ 21st Century Schizoid Band)
Theo Travis (Steven Wilson band/ Travis & Fripp)
David Longdon (Big Big Train) 
Gavin Harrison (Porcupine tree)

No worries, GermanZERO!

I should add - Cit even be considered that The Tangent have put out a bad album yet, or even a less-impressive one?! I was looking at all of them side by side on my shelf and thinking `Man, what a totally consistent and high-quality discograpy!' I don't think even one of their albums have been noticeably inferior to the last?

Andy Tillison:  "I'm now going to invite the folks who have heard the new stuff to tell people about it from their point of view".


Guy Manning "I have heard it all and it is damn good (and you can quote me)
Clever bugger that Tillison".

Eric Perry "I've had a chance to hear the work in its beta form. As you can guess I'm very excited because I can say with confidence that Le Sacre Du Travail will be at the top of many people's voting this time next year for album of the year.
I feel a strong connection to this album as I'm sure many who travel a long way to work and are in the cycle of life in this way do too...
From the opening part, the break of dawn and the start of the motorway madness to the return home listening to a radio DJ for company to life in front of the TV, this is the life of the Ants.. And so it goes, round and round..
Of course Andy has added so many more layers to this masterpiece and each reveal themselves at every listen..
Getting involved early is something for everyone and I'm going to be pre ordering this epic opus like so many of us.. 
Did I say I'm very excited?"

Brian Watson Ant "Where to start? I've been living with this fantastic piece of music for some time now, and truly believe it's the best thing The Tangent have ever done. Having JB back on bass is lovely. There are three main movements, each about as long as an episode of Scooby Doo. Classic, keyboard-driven, symphonic Tangent, pastoral in places. With lyrics that actually mean something."

Nigel Bennett "First, thanks to Andy for sharing some of this work with me. The Tangent is alive and well and making extraordinary music (again). It's jazz, it's classical, it's orchestral, it's prog with a capital P. It's one of those compositions that matures the more you listen to it - I've heard bits o the umpteenth listen that i missed before. The constructs are probably the most complex and in depth I've heard from Andy's pen. The ebbs, the flows, the theme - it's all there. And of course the lyrics are as up to date and poignant as ever. It ain't gonna be Yours is no Disgrace. I'll be at the head of the pre-order queue again. How's that Mr T? Never was much of a reviewer myself. ;-);-) Looking forward to the other comments".

Cliff 'Progzilla' Pearson "I'm listening to a track now and it's definitely classic Tangent

The orchestral/classical content is well woven into the fabric of the piece and not just a layer over the top, as many others have been - I'm really salivating at the prospect of hearing both the finished album and it's live interpretation.

Enid fans take note! RJG and the boys aren't the only band ploughing the classical/rock furrow now - if you've tried The Tangent before and not found it to your taste, or have never tried the band before, I urge you to give this a listen, when it's released - it has the potential to be a monster! B->"

Totally agree, Doctor! It's like Frank Bornermann in Eloy, the particular and unique voice is such a recognisable trademark of the band!

With The Tangent, Andy's charisma and way-with-words are one of the main selling points for me!

I have noticed a lot of resentment and dislike of Andy's voice, more so than a lot of other bands. I don't know why he in particular is frequently singled out! I find him so distinctive and original!

Whoa! David Longdon.  He's fine for Big, Big Train, but I happen to like Andy's voice and think it fits the Tangent.  I hope Longdon won't be doing most of the vocals.  
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?
