More information: This limited edition 2 CD set, which has a running time of 112 minutes, is the long awaited third Chimpan A album, following on from the debut self-titled release in 2006 and 2020’s ‘The Empathy Machine’.
Chimpan A is the Electronica-inspired Prog duo comprising singer Steve Balsamo (Jon Lord, Eric Woolfson, Jesus Christ Superstar) and Robert Reed (Magenta, Cyan, Sanctuary). At the very core of the project is what the pair describes unapologetically as an ‘old-fashioned’ response to the ‘TikTokification’ of music. ‘Music Is Art Vol. 1’ honours the vinyl album tradition, with clearly defined sides A and B; the first has shorter, more commercial tracks, with Side B made up of longer pieces.
Guests include Nigel Hopkins - Orchestration / Kirstie Roberts - Vocals / Christina Booth - Vocals / Angharad Brinn - Vocals / Ged Lynch - Drums / Guy Pratt - Bass Guitar / Neil Fairclough - Bass Guitar / Neil Taylor - Guitar / Francis Dunnery - Guitar / Tony Dallas - Spoken Word / Richard Mylan - Spoken Word (Sorter)
Limited 2 CD edition packaged in 6 panel digifile format and shrink-wrapped.
