Dark Horizons by Illuminae

Good Morning my friends, for my 1775th review I am proud to present an amazing album Illuminae called Dark Horizons released February 12, 2021 on the Immrama and Gonzo Multimedia Records label.  Illuminae features the amazing duo of Ian Jones the founder member and composer with British symphonic rock band Karnataka who have released 5 critically acclaimed albums including award winning albums, Delicate Flame of Desire, The Gathering Light and Secrets of Angels on bass, keyboards, acoustic guitar and string arrangements, and Agnieszka Świta providing the amazing vocals. To make this amazing sound complete they acquired the exciting contributors which include Steve Hackett (Genesis) on lead guitar, John Helliwell (Supertramp) on saxophone and clarinet, Troy Donockley (Nightwish) on uilleann pipes and low whistles, Craig Blundell (Steven Wilson and Steve Hackett band) on drums, Luke Machin (Machine and The Tangent) on lead and rhythm guitars and Gonzalo Carrera on piano.  

I fell in love with this ten track album from start to finish with such great tracks as The Lighthouse, Edge Of Darkness, Heretics & Prophecy, Black Angel, Sign Of Infinity, the title track Dark Horizons and so much more.  This amazing release features a brilliant performance with exciting vocals and memorable instrumentation as well as great songwriting and a superb recording.  This is an album that I would love to one day own on vinyl which is in the process of pressing.  I highly recommend that you get a copy of this album and fall in love with it like I did.  At present time this album is available on CD and digital download from Amazon, Apple Music and many other music retailers as well on their official website https://www.illuminae.net/ where you can learn more about this band, their music and when the world goes back to normal, you will find out where to see this band live.  In closing, I want to thank my new friend Ian Jones for providing me with this CD and the awesome opportunity to hear this great piece of work and write this review.


NOTICE

The eagle-eyed amongst you will have also noticed that the Gonzo Multimedia websites have changed and are in a process of flux, so there are no individual sales links at the moment. But check out www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk for a thing of wonder.
There is a hunky-dory, all singing, all dancing, Gonzo Publications website is now pretty well done, although there arve still nine authors who need personal pages. You can find it at www.gonzopublishers.com and then tell me what a clever fellow I am. It even has a haiku to explain why some links are not finished:
"These links do not work, now but they will do so soon, we apologise"

Enjoy

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
