RICK WAKEMAN - Journey To The Centre Of The Earth (MF HQ FLAC)
1974 - Journey To The Centre Of The Earth
Journey to
the Centre of the Earth —en español: Viaje al centro de la Tierra— es el
segundo álbum del tecladista y compositor inglés Rick Wakeman, lanzado en 1974 a
través de A&M Records. El álbum fue
grabado en el segundo concierto que dio en enero de 1974 en el Royal Festival Hall de Londres.
Su concepto está basado en la novela homónima de ciencia
ficción del escritor Julio Verne, la cual narra la
historia del profesor Lidinbrok, su sobrino Axel, y su guía Hans, que siguen un
pasaje al centro de la tierra originalmente descubierto por Arne Saknussemm, un
alquimista islandés. Wakeman toca junto con la London Symphony Orchestra,
la English Chamber Choir y un grupo de músicos escogido para su banda, que más
tarde se convirtió en The English Rock Ensemble. El actor David Hemmings provee la
narración de la historia.
Como el costo de la grabación del álbum en un estudio era demasiado alto, la música fue en cambio grabada en vivo en concierto. Después de una serie de problemas que se resolvieron durante la mezcla del álbum, Journey to the Centre of the Earth fue en general bien recibido por los críticos musicales. El registro encabezó el UK Albums Chart, el primer álbum de A&M Records en hacerlo y alcanzó el número 3 en el Billboard 200. Fue certificado disco de oro por la RIAA en octubre de 1974 y Wakeman obtuvo un Premio Ivor Novello y una nominación para un Premio Grammy. Un total de 14 millones de copias del álbum se han vendido en todo el mundo. En 1999, Wakeman publicó una secuela titulada Return to the Centre of the Earth.

The Omnibus interview took place shortly after MAM, (Tom Jones management at
the
time) had commissioned 1984 to become a musical using the music that Tim
Rice and myself had written and released on the Charisma label. The
album struggled into the top 30 but it was a bad time for concept albums
and the media pretty much killed it stone dead, but Tony MacArthur at
MAM really believed it would make a great musical and so work commenced
on turning the music into a full scale production.
Then a major brick wall was hit at 100mph! The lawyers in Chicago who
acted for the George Orwell trust in America, put the complete block on
our plans and despite numerous meetings, discussions and attempts to
reach some sort of deal, after almost a year, the plans were ditched. To
say I was gutted would be to put it mildly. Even more upsetting was the
fact that a year later a dreadful film version of 1984 appeared with
Richard Burton and some awful 1980’s music that really didn’t do the
work justice, and that was the end of my efforts to keep the concept
album alive by taking it one step further.
At the end of the Omnibus interview with Barry Norman there is a very
unique performance of Elgin Mansions, as it indeed was its premiere. It
was shortened somewhat to fit in with the television timeslot, but it’s a
rare find indeed.

Back in the early 80s, a wonderful TV series called A Little Night Music,
filmed in
Birmingham had quite an assortment of musical styles over the weeks that
the series ran.
The performance was recorded live at Pebble Mill in Birmingham and a
small budget was given to me to do some orchestrations for the
additional orchestral musicians that were booked to perform with me. A
children’s choir was also brought in for Bedtime Stories, but they were
perhaps a little too young and brings to mind the well known saying
“Never work with children or animals”! Whilst they were very angelic and
looked great, trying to get them to sing at the same time proved
virtually impossible, but the piece certainly ended up with a lot of
charm.
I recall the evening very well for a very sad reason and that was that
Robert Powell, who narrated Gray’s Elegy, had tragically just lost his
father to cancer and so Gone But Not Forgotten took on a new and very
special meaning that night.

This was a strange era for me. Concept albums and prog rock were at possibly
their lowest ebbs and there was I having just recorded a massive concept
album, co-written with Tim Rice, and followed it up with a huge prog
rock concert at Hammersmith Odeon…..err…..no points Wakeman!
Truth was I just wanted to do what I felt I was best at and not tow the fashion
line musically.
It was a very difficult time in my life. I had lost my father a few
months earlier, my 2nd marriage was on the rocks and musically I had no
idea what was likely to happen to me in the coming months or years and
to top it all, the band proved to be one of the few very unhappy
line-ups that I had ever put together, although it has to be said that
this concert was certainly a highlight.
