Wetton / Downes - John Wetton former front-man of Asia and current member of the Icon project with fellow ex-Asia keyboard maestro Geoff Downes was kind enough to post the following track x track comments on the new forthcoming album to be released in Europe on Frontiers Records on May the 16th.
Overture Paradox - This was conceived in Majorca, in a cave 1000 meters underground when on holiday with Dylan - my son and his mother. The atmosphere of being at an underground lake, in an underground cave, hundreds of meters high, listening to a string quartet playing classical music on a floating Viking ship was overwhelming. Originally called "Cava del Drach" (The Dragons' cave), I changed the title to "Paradox" as depicted on the tray card of "Icon" which has a rainbow at night-time. Seemingly impossible.
Huh? What the hell is that all about? A Viking ship 1000 meters underground floating on an underground lake, in a cave, yet hundreds of meters high, with a string quartet playing classical music? That is so damn cool. No wonder popular music is so bad these days. Wake me when Jessica Simpson writes a song about a similar experience. I plan to be sleeping for a while.
