I had an offer to record a solo album from EMI during the recording of Misplaced Childhood in 1985. However it led to a strong disagreement within the band and the idea was shelved. While recording the Brave album at Miles Copeland's chateau in France I was offered a deal to make an instrumental album for his "No Speak" label, however, I decided to record the first Wishing Tree album instead. Fast forward another twenty years and I'm invited to play at the annual Plovdiv guitar festival in October 2013. Having committed to the festival it left me with the small problem of what to play for an hour. "Blues in A" just wasn't going to cut it. I had a few strong ideas and got together for a couple of writing sessions with my good friend and fellow guitarist Dave Foster. Dave and I have a great musical chemistry which brought forth a lot of amazing music. After a couple of days rehearsal with the fantastic rhythm section of Leon Parr and Yatim Halimi I realised this was going to be something really special. The live album and video from the performance gives you an idea of where the finished album, The Ghosts of Pripyat, will go.

The album will also feature guest performances from some of my musician friends including Steve Hackett on "Morpheus" and "The Old Man of the Sea". I have the stunning aerial shot of Pripyat that I'm licensing from French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand and we have the legendary Lasse Hoile designing the artwork so it's going to visually stunning as well.

F*** this is good. Better then anything Marillion's done in years (& I'm NOT a Marillion hater, far from it!).

I've been listening to this ALOT in the car.

I have memory issues, so while it's quite possible I've forgotten about a couple other releases that I'll remember when we do the top albums of 2014, right now I consider this the cd of the year.
