Prog rock band The Tangent announce live album 'Pyramids, Stars & Other Stories: The Tangent Live Recordings 2004-2017'

Prog rock band The Tangent will unveil their new live album next year.

Pyramids, Stars & Other Stories: The Tangent Live Recordings 2004-2017 is slated for release on January 27th via InsideOutMusic. The 2CD & 3LP release will include show recordings from 2004, 2011, and 2017. A detailed description of the live album reads:

“Included in its entirety is the 2004 ‘Pyramids And Stars’ concert in Germany featuring the “Roine Stolt" lineup of The Tangent playing its way through the majority of the debut ‘Music That Died Alone’ album along with (then) new material from their second album ‘The World That We Drive Through’.

Added to that, there are tracks from the COMM era line-up of the band at a concert in the UK - plus music recorded in the USA in 2017 by the band's current line-up. These originally appeared on the ‘Southend On Sea’ and ‘Hotel Cantaffordit’ fan releases respectively.”

Keyboardist/vocalist Andy Tillison said this about the release:

"This is a real, proper, live album. It's candid, it's spontaneous, it has mistakes and things that are a bit too loud and things that are a bit too quiet. It's what happened on stage at three gigs at which "making a live album" never crossed our minds."

Pre-orders for the release can be made here. A live recording of “A Spark In The Aether” can be heard below.
