Here at last is THE album which you have been waiting for:
At certain times and points in an artists career if they are special they reach an eureka moment when something turns out to be bigger than the parts itself, in nearly two decades now of being lucky enough to be onboard the good plane Antony from take off to landing safely and into the glorious sunshine of each and every journeys end even I never thought I would be stepping aboard Concord and a supersonic experience that after the usual process of initially listening to a short instrumental demo would take us to the incredible heights of OMNI.
As the short track expanded to some 30 minutes of the most wondrous melodies and musical shifts we had reached the point where the demo would now turn to serious mode all his musicians would come and board the magic would continue to build and some four to six weeks later the latest musical masterpiece would be finished but not this time the instrumental music was just the starter for the vocal passages which turn the album into a truly inspirational and exhilarating art rock opera, one by one I was listening to the demo vocals of some of the best front men in the business Richard Sinclair and Marco Gluhmann just for starters along with instrumental additions from flautist John Hackett and guitaring from Mystery's Michel St Pere amongst others, the final vocal being that of my long time dear friend Per Malmberg of Salva fame it seemed Antony had moved on to a level even I was not expecting as the album was now something much bigger than one could have imagined.
I am very rarely lost for words but the end product had me speechless for once in my long lifetime now you the listener have the chance too to listen to this magnificent monster of an album so over to you folks and beware this music is seriously addictive the only known cure is to give in to the temptation and play it again and again, as the late great John Lennon used to say please tell your friends “ all we are saying is give OMNI a chance “
