| Rick Wakeman's sequel to Journey of the Centre of the Earth, Return to the Centre of the Earth celebrates the original prog-rock masterpiece's 25th anniversary. Return to the Centre of the Earth tells the story of three explorers coming back to the path of their original expedition, only to embark on another fantastic adventure. The London Symphony Orchestra, the English Chamber Choir, Ozzy Osbourne, Bonnie Tyler, the Moody Blues' Justin Hayward and Yes' own Trevor Rabin are among the musical luminaries that contributed to the album, and actor Patrick Stewart lends a hand as narrator. Return to the Centre of the Earth includes instrumental pieces like "The Return Overture" as well as vocal tracks like "Still Waters Run Deep" and "Buried Alive," which come together for a unique musical storytelling experience. ~ Heather Phares | |
