If you want to pick up a great progressive rock concept album, Intergalactic Touring Band has just been re-issued on CD.
I am the proud owner of the vinyl album from 1976 and just picked up the CD this week.
The album has various artists including Meatloaf, Status Quo, Annie Halsam and Arthur Brown who weave a future tale of Earth inventing the hyperdrive and discovering all the wonders out there. IGTB is a futuristic rock group who are sent on a cultural exchange and the album is supposedly there homecoming performance and the songs chart the spread of man across the universe.
Mt favourite track(s) is the Trilogy segment, made up of three joined songs about Earth sending generation ships into deep space:
Heartbreaker (tells of a lost generation ship endlessly orbiting an alien sun with its cargo of humanity in suspended animation
Reaching Out narrates the feelings of 5th generation inhabitants of a gen-ship who have never been on Earth but still feel drawn to images of the sea and forests.
Journey's End tells of a gen-ship arriving at 'New Earth' and the rapture of living under a blue sky again
Great stuff!
Regards,
Keith
