CD Reviews

Fans of the original - run away

"For fans of the original recording of the Journey to the Centre of the Earth concert (1974), this version will probably be a disappointment. While the original recording does have its flaws (most reviewers would reference the vocals here), if you're like me you've been listening to it for the better part of 30 years, and by this point the "flaws" are as ingrained in your appreciation of the recording as the keyboard artistry of Rick Wakeman. The music is mostly the same, but there are some key differences, most notably (to me) the part right after "...and in silence, they waited for the storm...". To make it even less enjoyable, the narrator sounds like Eric Idle doing a Saturday Night Live parody of the recording.

In short - stick to the original."
