Have a Nice Life was formed in a time of Dan Barrett and Tim Macuga's life that reflected concerns with depression and suicidal ideation. As the following for the project has grown, and Barrett and Macuga have aged and faced new life challenges with family and careers, their new album Sea Of Worry reflects just that. Dread is the primary theme that is woven throughout this -the dread of aging, children growing up, and an increasingly uncertain future. However, Sea Of Worry is Have a Nice Life at the peak of their powers Barrett and Macuga's unmistakable chemistry coupled with a propulsive backing band catapults them into stratosphere. These seven tracks ebb and flow with noise and melody, and are so well-crafted it's near impossible to get them out of one's head. More concise and perhaps more straightforward than their past releases, Have a Nice Life has found new focus and discipline on Sea Of Worry and the album is a triumphant addition to their ever-evolving discography.
To celebrate it's 60th anniversary, Immediate Records proudly presents the reissue of Nice, the groundbreaking third album by British progressive rock pioneers The Nice-an adventurous blend of prog, symphonic, and psychedelic rock that captures the free spirit of the late '60s.Newly remastered for the best possible audio fidelity, this iconic is pressed on limited edition translucent red, black marbled, and white splatter vinyl-a visually striking and sonically rich collector's item for longtime fans and new listeners alike.Nice finds the band at the peak of their creativity in a bold half-studio, half-live that showcases both the precision of their compositions and the raw power of their stage performances. Highlights include Keith Emerson's thrilling adaptation of Brubeck's InchRondoInch-recorded live at the Fillmore East-and an explosive reimagining of Bob Dylan's InchShe Belongs to MeInch, transformed into a towering progressive rock statement.The album also features studio recordings such as InchFor ExampleInch, a dazzling, genre-spanning journey through jazz, baroque, and rock; the eerie, Rachmaninov-quoting InchAzrael RevisitedInch; and a deeply moving take on Tim Hardin's InchHang On to a DreamInch, with one of Lee Jackson's most heartfelt vocal performances.With Emerson's virtuosic command of keys, Brian Davison's explosive rhythms, and Jackson's gritty bass and soulful vocals, Nice is a true product of it's time-a far-out, mind-expanding journey through uncharted musical frontiers from one of the original trailblazers of progressive rock Album Tracks 1. Azrael Revisited 2. Hang on to a Dream 3. Diary of An Empty Day 4. For Example 5. Rondo '69' 6. She Belongs to Me
