Out There
Out There is an honest to goodness revival of the full-throttle prog-rock Wakeman pursued on his solo albums in the '70s. A large part of this is due to his decision to form a full-fledged rock supporting band. Called the New English Rock Ensemble, they're a quintet lead by Wakeman and featuring Damian Wilson on vocals, Ant Glynne on guitar, Lee Pomeroy on bass and Tony Fernandez on drums and percussion. They're a powerful and skilled outfit, able to follow Wakeman's shifting tempos and moods with dexterity without ever losing sight of their forceful rhythmic core that keeps this rock, not new age.
