foxdurer Vraiment une belle découverte. Un album riche en mélodies et captivant à écouter du début à la fin. Favorite track: The Pilgrim Suite.

plaginess All hail the tech advances that allow musicians who are thousands of miles apart to sound as though they're together in the same room. The Pilgrim is a wonderful manifestation of what those advances have wrought. I hear the influence of XTC, Gabriel era Genesis, King Crimson, and the Beatles at their most psychedelic, and as it happens, all of those influences are mine as well. It's as if the guys made the record I'd want to make myself...and surely would try to had I not started a Steely Dan tr

about

THIS IS A 5 SONG ALBUM

I was inspired to create this album by a story, namely "Kim", by Rudyard Kipling, and in particular the pilgrimage of an aged Tibetan monk through the plains and mountains of India as he searches for a sacred river, which he believes will bring him Enlightenment.

Although this album is a "solo" project, it has been made possible by the wonders of modern technology, and through collaboration. This has allowed four friends from opposite sides of the Atlantic to re-visit a musical relationship which had its genesis at a UK Midlands University in 1979, where we formed a band known as "Tiny Lites". This, at least for me, prompted a lifetime's career in music, and continues to inspire and motivate my creative world to this day.

In this sense, "The Pilgrim" is not just about a character in a book, it is also about me. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed and made this possible. — Andrew Stone

Acceleration Theory Part Two: Annihilation
by In Continuum

This album creates a powerful finale to the first part with an incredible line up of stellar musicians. I was totally blown away with the addition of Michael Sadler. Parts One and Two are a concept album with a story that any Sci-Fi fan will fall in love with. Dave is an incredible musician and creates powerful projects with the very best musicians. This album is very highly recommended and best when heard all the way through with Part One for the full story and effect. bradkesner
