Dennis (El Rojo) Waite Personal favorites -

And I Wonder Why.
Has a James Bond movie theme feel to it. Fabulous vocal and stellar guitar work.

Ghosts of Atlantis.
Very powerful and cinematic. Would have fit well in the God of War video game franchise.

Ascension.
Niall's baby here. Very haunting, powerful vibe to it. Love the guitars on this as well.

Fragment Of The Sun.
Title track. Great song and a real classic here. Choir is a nice touch. Favorite track: And I Wonder Why.

about

Pallas have always featured both atmospheric and cinematic moments on albums throughout their history, and this second collection of re-visionings of tracks from the band’s extensive catalogue of album tracks and rarities sets out to explore that element of the band further. ‘Fragments Of the Sun’ builds on the success of last years ‘ The Edge Of Time’ with a new selection of tracks that could be the main theme or credit music to a movie.

Niall, Graeme and Ronnie have been involved in film music side projects and have brought added cinematic elements to some tracks, whilst others follow a more atmospheric interpretation. The overall chilled and laid back concept of the first part of the album harks back to the days of plugging in the headphones and immersing yourself in a soundscape, whilst the latter section takes the listener to a more dramatic destination.

Initially, the CD will only be available directly through the band’s Bandcamp site, which also includes downloads in many formats including lossless, complete with a selection of bonus tracks.

The featured tracks encompass the whole of the band’s recorded career and are:

1. SUBMARINE

A track originally available on the ‘Sketches’ cassette from the late 80’s this track harks back to the period of the end of the Cold War and Chernobyl with a Soviet-inspired soundscape merging into an atmospheric musical conclusion.

2. WIN OR LOSE

Another atmospheric introduction leads into a stripped-down instrumental version of this track that was a popular part of the mid 80’s live set and ‘The Wedge’ album.

3. GENERATIONS

A remix of a very personal song with Graeme Murray on vocals, originally from ‘The Cross and The Crucible’.

4. REPRISE

An extensive orchestral re-versioning of a rarely heard instrumental track that had a few live outings around Scotland before ‘The Sentinel’ was recorded. This is a gentle pastoral ‘Scottish Air’ orchestrated by Ronnie Brown slowly building to a climax with added guitar from Niall Mathewson.

5. NORTHERN STAR

A new version of the popular instrumental from ‘The Dreams of Men’.

6. AND I WONDER WHY

Another very personal song with Paul Mackie on vocals re-worked from ‘wearewhoweare’.

7. BLOOD AND ROSES

Ronnie Brown re-interprets this delicate track with a lush but intimate treatment.

8. SPIRITS

Niall Mathewson adds new atmospheric flavour to the ecological track from ‘Beat The Drum’ album with vocals from Paul Mackie, the track is even more relevant now than it was on its original outing.

9. GHOSTS OF ATLANTIS

A highly cinematic orchestral tour de force from Graeme Murray inspired by ‘March On Atlantis’, imagined as the theme from a blockbuster movie.

10. ASCENSION

Taken from Niall Mathewson’s solo album ‘Eclectic Electric’ with himself on lead vocals this track serves as a fitting lead into the final track on the album.

11. FRAGMENTS OF THE SUN

After an extensive search for a long lost recording session of an additional choir part recorded a few years after the original version was featured on the ‘Beat The Drum’ album, this new version featuring vocals from Paul Mackie succinctly explores humanity’s place in the universe. And if you look out to stars on a winter night, can you believe we're all alone?

Steve Rothery band Live in Plovdiv
by Steve Rothery

supported by 44 fans who also own “Fragments Of The Sun”

The first official outing of the "what would be" Steve Rothery Band. Riccardo Romano was missing with his keyboard wizardry and no singer at all (later Martin Jakubsky of Stillmarillion). Marillion's catalogue was represented by excerpts of instrumental sections where Steve had his solo spot. This is a milestone in the forming of a great band that later became the spokesman of early Marillion era and of course of Steve's solo material.

The Disturbance Fields

Hooked at once, just the mood I needed. Very good quality on progrock.com. Ordered vinyls and FLAC instantly. EDIT: Listened the entire album from my DAC and FLAC files, it is a journey, it is amazing. The free listen files available on bandcamp do NOT do justice to the tremendous production. I am a fan of Eloy, Porcupine Tree and King Crimson on a daily basis and if the work of the aforementioned clicks well with you, this work is to be highly recommended. outdatedtv
