A 3plus minute review of one of my all-time favorite albums, THE MUSIC THAT DIED ALONE (2003) by The Tangent.  An album featuring Andy Tillison, Roine Stolt, Jonas Reingold, and Guy Manning.

Art work and design by Ed Unitsky.  Unitsky provides one of the best album covers in rock history.

Great musicians, integrity, creativity–what more could any human want???

The Tangent News

MARTIN STEPHEN COVER PIC

As most readers of Progarchy well know, Andy Tillison will be releasing the new The Tangent album at the end of this month.  Any Tillison release is as much an event as it is a momentous moment.  As he’s proven time and again over the last decade with The Tangent releases, Tillison is a true believer in the roots and the origins of prog as well as in the future and innovation of prog.  He’s a seeker of all things excellent and beautiful.

Bringing in David Longdon for the new album is a touch of genius.  But, Longdon is not alone.  Bassist Jonas Reingold and guitarist Jakko M. Jakszyk join as well.

In case you’re interested, and I assume we all are, there are two pieces on the internet well worth checking out today:
