The title refers to the balance of light and darkness in us all. With some, the balance is tipped... \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout 2020 and 2021, most of the world experienced several lockdowns brought on by the pandemic. I had managed to complete and release my second album 'Far And Distant Things', despite overwhelming odds. My ambitions didn't stop there... Facing several more months of uncertainty, I set about writing a third album. This period brought upon a great inner reflection on how I should present the new music. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy whole career in music was initially sparked by the revelation of hearing the 1970s progressive rock music of YES, ELP and artists such as Kate Bush and Frank Zappa to name a few. The new music developed in this style. This new project marks a big change to what I have previously released. This collection of songs represent a return to what initially inspired me to become a musician, combined with my current musical vision. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis release will also mark the launch of my record label 'Galactic Receiver'. I have created the label to cater to my music and ambitions. I certainly feel music has a healing quality and 'We are Here To Help' is my contribution. The album features a host of very well-known \u0026amp; esteemed musicians, including: Billy Sheehan (bass); Marco Minnemann (drums); Jeff Scott Soto (vocals); Frank Gambale (guitar); Greg Howe (guitar); Carter Arrington (guitar).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Age of Magrathea\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe Are Here to Help\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou Made Me Miss\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaught in the Flypaper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSame Siders\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWrestling with Plato\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLower Moat Manor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe Flies Softly On\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420736344449,"sku":"2298465","price":14.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5070002693307.jpg?v=1750620741","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2298465","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
