About this product

A landmark recording in British modern jazz. The 50th anniversary of 'Kaleidoscope Of Rainbows' by Neil Ardley. Newly remastered with new liner notes by Sid Smith. This marvellous work completed a trilogy of works composed by Neil Ardley that had begun with 'The Greek Variations' and continued with 'A Symphony Of Amaranths', works which were based on a sequence of notes that provided the basis for composition and improvisation. Originally released in 1976, 'Kaleidoscope Of Rainbows' was a series of pieces based on the five note scale of Balinese Gamelan music. The recording sessions featured contributions from such luminaries as Ian Carr (Nucleus), Paul Buckmaster, Barbara Thompson, Dave MacRae, Tony Coe and Geoff Castle. The album is now regarded as a landmark recording in British modern jazz, although the compositions also displayed influences from world music and beyond, utilising synthesisers, it is a groundbreaking and thoroughly absorbing piece.

U2 - Songs Of Experience   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
4.5(2)

Boxed set containing deluxe CD and double colored vinyl LP pressing. 2017 , the 14th studio album from the Irish quartet. Songs of Experience was produced by Jacknife Lee and Ryan Tedder with Steve Lillywhite, Andy Barlow, and Jolyon Thomas. The album is intended to be a companion piece to U2's previous record, Songs of Innocence (2014). Whereas it's predecessor explored the group members' adolescence in Ireland in the 1970s, Songs of Experience thematically is a collection of letters written by lead vocalist Bono to people and places closest to his heart. The personal nature of the lyrics reflects a brush with mortality that he had during the album's recording. Includes the single You're the Best Thing About Me.
