Robert Reed - Kompendium - Beneath The Waves - The Director's Cut CD (pre-order)

The new Director's Cut of 'Beneath The Waves' have a release date of September 4th.

The CD comes packaged in four panel digifile format and will be shrink-wrapped.

Beside the musical contributions of Robert Reed on bass guitar, piano, acoustic and electric guitars he invited a plethora of excellent musicians and singers. Centre stage of the album is the stunning vocals of Steve Balsamo (Jon Lord/Superstar/ChimpanA) and Angharad Brinn (Sanctuary/Cyan/ChimpanA).

On drums we have Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree/Pineapple Thief), who provides the album with a wonderful groove.

The guitar parts are performed by great players like Steve Hackett (ex-Genesis), Nick Barrett (Pendragon), Neil Taylor (Tears For Fears, Robbie Williams), Jakko Jackzyk (King Crimson), Francis Dunnery (It Bites), Chris Fry (Magenta), John Mitchell (Arena, Frost*, It Bites) and BJ Cole (ex-Elton John, ex-David Gilmour).

On Chapman stick we hear Nick Beggs (Kajagoogoo, ex-Steve Hackett, Steve Wilson Band), while Mel Collins (King Crimson, ex- Camel) contributed on sax. Undoubtedly one of the most important musicians is Troy Donockley (Nightwish, Bad Shepherds) as his parts performed on the Uilleann pipes and the whistles provided the album a certain melancholic feel and above all a distinct Irish-Gaelic atmosphere.

Furthermore you can enjoy contributions of The English Chamber Choir conducted by Guy Protheroe, the London Session Orchestra conducted by Dave Stewart (Egg, Hatfield and the North, National Health) and renowned opera singers like Rhys Meirion and Shan Cothi.
