That is 4 hours of music for you (unique music!!).

The 24-minute title track is based on the 1965 novel “Smallcreep’s Day” by Peter Currell Brown which tells the story of Mr. Smallcreep. Rutherford has recruited some prog heavyweights to serve as his band here like Anthony Phillips on the keyboards, Noel McCalla (Manfred Mann’s Earth Band 1991-2009) vocals, Morris Pert (Brand X & later Talk Talk) provides percussion, and the estimable Simon Phillips (Ten CC, The Who, Toto a.o.) is behind the drum kit, thundering away on his trademark double bass drums. From the opening “Moonshine” with its trademark Rutherford bass pedals, and infectious keyboards to closing “At the End of the Day” the album is moving and anthemic. ———————————————————————————————————- Steve Roach – Structures from silence 40th Anniversary (3 versions) https://www.groove.nl/shop/steve-roach-structures-from-silence-40th-anniversary/?v=796834e7a283  Projekt celebrates the 40th anniversary of this ambient classic with a beautiful remastered limited edition LP, 1CD, & 3CD.

On this landmark recording of gentle proportions, the three long-form tracks were the birth of something new: an original and pure statement striking a balance between diaphanous and understated, deep and reflective. The listening experience evokes a sense of silence within the music as well as the space between the chords. It expresses the breath of life and offers a meditation on delicate strands of subtle awareness. Forty years later, Structures from Silence remains an iconic American release in the ambient and electronic genres. It’s a well-respected soundtrack for contemplation, relaxation, meditation, and creativity. Emotional, powerful, and enriching, it is a living example of the true healing quality that music can hold. Steve reflects, “Structures from Silence remains a still point in suspended time for me when looking back over the… more ———————————————————————————————————- Mike Oldfield – Tubular Bells 50th Anniversary Tour (2 Blu Ray) or (DVD) https://www.groove.nl/shop/mike-oldfield-tubular-bells-50th-anniversary-tour-2-blu-ray/?v=796834e7a283  1: Full Live Show 90 Min 2: Tour Documentary 110 Min Ratio: 1,78:1 Audio: 5.1 DTS HD Master Audio Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Tubular Bells, the legendary instrumental album of all time, with this packaged Live Tour Double Disc release.
