Album Description
The versatile composer, orchestrator, conductor's 1975 progressive rock concept album, features two 20-minute plus remastered versions of the title track with musicians Mike Oldfield on guitar & Robert Powell as narrator. Virgin.Album Details
Originally Conceived as a Children's Opera, it Became Clear that David Bedford's Mammoth Piece Had to Change Context as Recording Progressed. This Adaptation of the Samuel Taylor Coleridge Poem Made Much Better Sense as a Progressive Rock Piece, Highlighted by Bedford's Multi-layers of Keyboards and Guitar Chords from Collaborator Mike Oldfield. Actor Robert Powell (Who Appeared in the Films "Jesus of Nazareth" and "The 39 Steps") Handled the Narration Duties. The Album Met with Great Success at a Time When Concept Albums Flourished, Like Rick Wakeman's "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" and Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds" and also Helped to Build the Base of Virgin Records, who Had Bedford to Thank in Part for the Success of Oldfield's "Tubular Bells".Customer Reviews:
