RICK WAKEMAN - RETURN TO THE RED PLANET

The Epic Return To Mars From Rick Wakeman. A New Progressive Rock Suite Inspired By Both Past And The Latest Discoveries On The Red Planet. Featuring Lee Pomeroy, Dave Colquhoun, Adam Falkner & Mollie Marriott. CD/Blu-ray Edition - Includes CD Of The Studio Album + Blu-ray Disc Featuring Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Sound & Hi-Res Stereo Mixes And The Making Of The 'Return To The Red Planet' Documentary + 20-Page Printed Booklet. Following his acclaimed 2020 album The Red Planet, Rick Wakeman makes a triumphant and inevitable return to Mars with Return To The Red Planet, a sweeping new progressive work that fuses science, imagination and musical virtuosity into one of the most ambitious recordings of his career. At a time when space exploration has moved back to the forefront of human endeavour - with missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond once again capturing the world's imagination - Return To The Red Planet feels both timely and visionary, rekindling the cosmic spirit that helped define progressive rock's golden age. Where it's predecessor opened the story, this album explores the planet's ancient lakes, vast canyon systems, shifting dust storms and geological epochs, drawing directly on the remarkable images and research that have transformed our understanding of Mars in recent years, Wakeman immersing himself in planetary research, data, and mission reports before a single note was written.
