nouveau double CD live WINGS OF HEAVEN LIVE :

It has been almost 20 years since the British melodic rock act Magnum brought out one of the best and most successful recordings of their career: Wings Of Heaven entered the British charts at no.2 and included three successful single releases. A milestone in the history of a band who decided to perform and re-record the full album as part of their tour of Britain in autumn 2007. The result is called Wings Of Heaven Live and will be released on double CD by SPV on 25 February 2008 (Germany: 22 February 2008, US: 8 April 2008).
CD 1 consists of a cross-section of the band's career, featuring classics such as How Far Jerusalem, Vigilante, Kingdom Of Madness and All England's Eyes, plus tracks from their current studio release, Princess Alice & The Broken Arrow, such as When We Were Younger, Dragons Are Real, Out Of The Shadows and Like Brothers We Stand. CD 2 includes haunting live versions of the full Wings Of Heaven opus, starting with the opener, Days Of No Trust and closing with the furioso finale, Don't Wake The Lion. The show's final number was Magnum's legendary Sacred Hour from their 1982 classic, Chase The Dragon.
Wings Of Heaven Live was recorded between 10 and 18 November 2007 in Glasgow, Cambridge, Birmingham and London, among other cities. The album was produced by guitarist Tony Clarkin. The line-up, the same as featured on Princess Alice & The Broken Arrow, was one of the strongest in Magnum's history, consisting of Clarkin and his experienced colleagues, Bob Catley (vocals), Mark Stanway (keyboards) and Al Barrow (bass), plus new addition Jimmy Copley (drums).
Founded in the mid-Seventies, Magnum brought out their debut, Kingdom of Madness, featuring diverse prog-rock of the melodic variety, in 1978. Magnum II, out one year later, sounded even more symphonic, and their first live album, Marauder, arrived at the stores twelve months later. Chase The Dragon (1982) and The Eleventh Hour (1983) documented the musicians' unmistakable development, but the big breakthrough took a long time in coming. It arrived, deservedly, in 1985 with On A Storyteller's Night, Vigilante (1986) (produced by Queen drummer Roger Taylor) and Wings Of Heaven, which made no. 2 of the British album charts and spawned three top 30 single hits. Celebrated tours and invitations to most important open-air festivals of the Eighties followed, the Reading Festival, the Monsters Of Rock in Castle Donington among them, as well as several shows at the Wembley Arena and annual appearances at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon.
In the early Nineties, the musicians flew to Los Angeles, where they recorded their Goodnight L.A. album, composer Clarkin being supported by Russ Ballard and Jim Vallance. The band's record company released The Spirit, featuring rare or previously unreleased tracks from another studio session, towards the end of their mutual contract, followed by Sleepwalking, another new, regular studio album soon afterwards. The first chapter of Magnum's success story ended in 1994 with Rock Art and a major farewell tour, during which the final live album The Last Dance (out in May 1996) was recorded.
Clarkin went on to work as a producer and songwriter for other artists, released two albums with Bob Catley, recorded by their intermezzo project Hard Rain in 1997 and 1999 (Hard Rain & When The Good Times Come), and generally recharged his musical batteries. Then, almost precisely eight years after Rock Art, glorious times returned for Magnum. Their 2001 album Breath Of Life oozed present and past all at once and was followed by a number of celebrated shows. "It was very inspiring for me to write and produce material for Magnum again," Clarkin explains. "Compared to the Hard Rain tracks, Magnum compositions are more powerful, deeper and more passionate."
With their 2004 album, Brand New Morning, and a major European tour in late summer of that year, Magnum went even further at an ambitioned artistic level, documenting that this band, like a good wine, gets better with every year. Looking at it this way, Princess Alice & The Broken Arrow came as no surprise but was the logical result of a mature and well thought-through creational process. |

et voici le nouvel album, Into The Valley Of The Moonking, pour le 15 juin :
Following enthusiastic reviews and euphoric fan reactions to their 2007 album, Princess Alice And The Broken Arrow, British hard rock legends Magnum are set to follow this up with the release of another first-rate recording: 15 June 2009 (Germany: 12 June 2009; US/Canada: 16 June 2009) will see the arrival of their new studio album, Into The Valley Of The Moonking. The band surrounding vocalist Bob Catley and guitarist/songwriter/producer Tony Clarkin have recorded a dozen new songs which sound melodic and rocking, diverse and catchy. “My hope is to make it interesting for anyone who hears the album, so I put great emphasis on lyrics and musical arrangements,” offers Clarkin and can rest assured in view of these impressive tracks that his band's substantial following will love Into The Valley Of The Moonking. Magnum shine with a large number of sensitive melodies and gritty hooks, and the track, 'Moon King', sees Clarkin get out his blues guitar and proves that Magnum's vocalist cuts a fine figure in every rock genre. Into The Valley Of The Moon King is new and exciting and features small surprises and intricate details, yet the album definitely continues Magnum's typical melodic rock tradition. Clarkin: “I think the common ground in all Magnum releases is that we take great pride in making a record and always do the best we can.”
Into The Valley Of The Moonking will be available in three different versions: as a regular jewel case CD, as a top-quality Digipak consisting of CD and bonus DVD, and for collectors in a vinyl format featuring two LPs and a fold-out cover. The band's major tour of Germany, for which Clarkin promises an interesting setlist, is scheduled for September 2009: “We'll be re-visiting some tracks from the Brand New Morning album, quite a few tracks from the Moon King album, and a bunch of old favourites.”
TRACK LISTING:
01 Intro 01:30 02 Cry To Yourself 04:40 03 All My Bridges 04:41 04 Take Me To The Edge 04:17 05 The Moon King 06:16 06 Noone Knows His Name 04:32 07 In My Mind`s Eye 05:42 08 Time To Cross That River 05:17 09 If I Ever Lose My Mind 04:19 10 A Face In The Crowd 06:24 11 Feels Like Treason 03:32 12 Blood On Your Barbed Wire Thorns 06:57. |
