Coming on the heels of his epic Journey to the Centre of the Earth and The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table projects, erstwhile Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman's 1976 LP No Earthly Connection was a relatively stripped-down affair with respect to its orchestration, employing the six-piece English Rock Ensemble for a metaphysical exploration of the musical essence of mankind's soul. This departure from the symphonic sound of his previous releases met with a decidedly mixed reaction from Wakeman's fan base; yet, of all his solo records, No Earthly Connection, with its move away from classical themes, has probably the most appeal to modern-day prog rockers. Our Real Gone release includes new notes by Gene Sculatti.
