Petite précision qui n'a d'importance que pour les casses-burnes dont je fais partie :
Il s'agira bien de THE NEAL MORSE BAND comme l'an dernier et non plus de NEAL MORSE, terminologie qui prend ici d'autant plus d'ampleur que le processus créatif ayant enfanté du disque dont ils feront la promotion, "
The Grand Experiment", a été le fruit d'une composition collégiale :
For the first time ever prog icon Neal Morse came into a recording session with his long time friend and collaborator Mike Portnoy, Randy George, Bill Hubauer and Eric Gillette...with NOTHING!
He had no prepared material at all.
Neal comments, "I wanted to see what it would be like to create freely in the room with no preconceived notions.
It was quite a risk!"
On previous albums, like the Testimony album for example, Morse had the entire album written in advance.
"I used to be rather paranoid about whether things would turn out in the short space of time we had available... so I would fill all the space in advance!"
This album was totally different.
"I made a lot of room for the other guys to create and express themselves and the result is outstanding!
We wanted to experiment, do something a bit different, and see what everyone is capable of... we found out... in SPADES!"
The results are obvious!
This was a "grand experiment" that produced something far beyond anyone's expectations!
Les musiciens accompagnant Neal Morse seront du reste les mêmes, à savoir :
Neal Morse : Chant, guitares & claviers
Mike Portnoy : Batterie & percussions
Randy George : Basses
Bill Hubauer : Claviers & chœurs
Eric Gillette : Guitares & chœurs
Ravi de vous avoir fait perdre quelques minutes de votre temps.
