Andy Tillison of The Tangent has unveiled a demo of his upcoming project – despite having split the band’s lineup last month.
At the time he said financial, logistical and other pressures had forced the decision.
Now he’s offered a nine-minute preview of Le Sacre Du Travail, explaining: “As we seem to have given someone the impression that The Tangent is over, it’s time to let you all know that nothing could be further from the truth.
“The Tangent is currently recording yet another ‘most ambitious project yet’ and development is well underway.”
Tillison named the contributing musicians as Jakko Jakszyk, Jonathan Barrett, Theo Travis and David Longdon. But the mainman points out: “This is not a new fixed lineup of the band. We have ideas for the live unit, but at present we are concentrating on the solo work.”
In the past he’s avoided references to concept albums, but says Le Sacre Du Travail is one. “It’s a working day in England, but could be anywhere. Unashamedly inspired by Stravisnky and Holst, ELP, Jon Lord, CDGG and Yes, this is our first full foray into the bombastic and supposedly pompous world of ‘classical rock’.
“However, we’ve tried to keep the orchestral elements as part of the Tangent Sound rather than just handing over to the orchestra.”
Tillison describes it as a “more demanding listen” but adds it’s “not in any way less prog.”
He’s planning to launch a pre-sales campaign in the near future.
