GAVIN HARRISON - SANITY & GRAVITY (1997/2022) [25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION]
Gavin Harrison stał się jednym z najbardziej szanowanych perkusistów na scenie rocka progresywnego ostatnich lat. Jako członek The Pineapple Thief, Porcupine Tree i King Crimson, a także gościnnie na wielu uznanych nagraniach, zyskał reputację jednego z najbardziej ekscytujących perkusistów na świecie.
W 1997 roku Gavin wydał Sanity & Gravity, imponująco wolny od ego debiutancki solowy album z występami gwiazdorskiego składu, w tym Mick Karn, Richard Barbieri, Jakko Jakszyk (21st Century Schizoid Band) i Dave Stewart (Egg, National Health). Unikając tworzenia typowego „solowego” albumu perkusyjnego jako sposobu na zademonstrowanie swojej cudownej techniki, Gavin stworzył ekspresyjny i emocjonalny album, który jest mocny zarówno pod względem rytmu, jak i melodii.
25TH ANNIVERSARY OF GAVIN HARRISON’S DEBUT ALBUM SANITY & GRAVITY - REMASTERED
Gavin Harrison has established himself as one of the most revered drummers in the progressive rock scene in recent years. As a member of Pineapple Thief, Porcupine Tree and King Crimson at one time or another, as well as guesting on numerous acclaimed recordings, he has secured a reputation as one of the most thrilling drummers around.
In 1997 Gavin released ’Sanity & Gravity’, an impressively ego-free debut solo release featuring performances from a stellar line-up including Mick Karn, Richard Barbieri, Jakko Jakszyk (21st Century Schizoid Band) and Dave Stewart (Egg, National Health). Avoiding making a typical 'solo' drum album as a means of demonstrating his prodigious technique, Gavin created an expressive and emotional album that is strong on both groove and melody.
In his own words, “faced with the prospect of making a 'solo' drum album I decided I would take a more experimental approach to playing my instrument, rather than make a record of fast flashy solos and fills to try and show off my technique. I felt there was a way to express emotion from the drums played with the attitude of "blowing" on a saxophone or "twiddling" around on a piano.”
The original album has gone on to gain legendary status in the 25 years following its original conception with the CD fetching high sums on the resale market. Kscope is now thrilled to present the album reissued and remastered with an exclusive bonus track and new original artwork for the anniversary. Essential listening!
