█ Purple Pyramid Records released an out of this █
█ world collection of extraordinary performances by █
█ legendary YES keyboardist Rick Wakeman! For more █
█ than four decades Rick Wakeman has established █
█ himself as a visionary showman without peer, the █
█ creator of some of the most extravagant █
█ performances, breathtaking soloing and imaginative █
█ passages ever preserved on record, or executed on █
█ stage. █
█ Aptly titled ôStarship Trooperö, this amazing █
█ collection contains 2 previously unreleased tracks █
█ including a powerful rendition of ToolÆs ôSoberö █
█ plus several more brilliant cover songs of The █
█ Who, Pink Floyd, and The Doors including 5 never █
█ before heard versions! The compilation also █
█ includes performances by GongÆs Steve Hillage, █
█ YesÆs Billy Sherwood, Steve Howe and Tony Kaye, █
█ William Shatner, Colin Moulding, Jerry Goodman, █
█ Nik Turner, Carmine Appice and more! █
█ █
█ ôOver the last few years I have performed on many █
█ tracks as a æguestÆ but never before has anybody █
█ put some of the best of those I played on into a █
█ compilation. ItÆs always challenging to be █
█ involved in tracks of other peopleÆs music and █
█ other peopleÆs arrangements as it often makes you █
█ think and play differently and certainly on many █
█ of these tracks I play in quite an unexpected way, █
█ but there again, much of my life has been pretty █
█ unexpected anyway!ö û Rick Wakeman █
█ █
█ The liner notes were written by modern rock █
█ scholar Dave Thompson, who says of Rick Wakeman, █
█ ôThis most personable of superstars has made █
█ inroads into the worlds of journalism, █
█ broadcasting and acting û professions which his █
█ eye for spectacle, story telling and stylishness █
█ might well have made inevitable all along. But he █
█ also happens to be among the most gifted, █
█ visionary and brilliant performers his chosen █
█ instruments have seen.ö █
