Caped crusader's musical journey...
By Jason Ritchie
Rick Wakeman Out There DVD
The DVD release of last year's prog rock album based on the search for the
origins of music. Now the `Out There' album is a superb slice of modern
prog rock and features the vocal talents of Damian Wilson (who left just
before last year's UK tour), who is featured on the videos on this DVD.
Each track takes a space theme with NASA footage cleverly worked into band
studio footage (including Rick Wakeman in full flowing cape mode on opener
`Out There'!). The spacecraft featured on the cover and in the videos is
actually made-up of musical instruments and speakers to keep the origins of
music theme going.
There is also an in depth interview with the main man himself where he
discusses the album's concept and details. Being Rick Wakeman it is an
enjoyable interview that will stand up to repeated plays. There is also
some live footage from last year's UK tour, with of course Ashley Holt on
vocals and backstage joking about.
