█ Vox Humana was Geoffrey Downes' second solo album █
█ and also the second album for which he used the █
█ New Dance Orchestra name in addition to his own █
█ name. As the title indicates this is a vocal album █
█ and not another instrumental work like his first █
█ solo effort The Light Program. As such, the █
█ present album is very different from the previous █
█ one. Vox Humana features 13 tracks and almost as █
█ many vocalists. Geoff revisits his past here with █
█ re-makes of three older songs, Man In A White Car █
█ from Yes' Drama and Video Killed The Radio Star █
█ and The Plastic Age from The Buggles' The Age Of █
█ Plastic. █
█ Max Bacon who sang lead vocals on the GTR album █
█ featuring Steve Howe and Steve Hackett and which █
█ Geoff produced sings on the opening track called █
█ Tears. John Payne, with whom Geoff would go on to █
█ make numerous Asia albums, sings on Plastic Age. █
█ Several other male and female vocalists appear █
█ including one that I initially thought was Chris █
█ Rainbow but which turned out to be someone else. █
█ Video Killed The Radio Star is erroneously listed █
█ as an instrumental in the CD booklet but it is a █
█ vocal version sung by what sounds like Glen Hughes █
█ (Hughes is not credited on this album, but knowing █
█ that Geoff worked with him elsewhere I'm pretty █
█ sure it must be him). █
█ Given the presence of multiple vocalists and some █
█ brief keyboard dominated instrumentals in between █
█ this album reminded me a lot of 80's Alan Parsons █
█ Project albums. Naturally, there are some █
█ similarities with Asia but there is a lot less of █
█ Hard-edged Rock here. You could perhaps say that █
█ it sounds like an emasculated Asia without █
█ guitars. Geoff's partner in Yes and Asia, Steve █
█ Howe does appear on one track but he contributes █
█ only acoustic guitar. █
█ Vox Humana is not a bad album but also not a very █
█ good one. If you expect something on the lines of █
█ The Light Program you are in for a disappointment █
█ but if you appreciate the music of the likes of █
█ Alan Parsons Project you might enjoy this album. █
