Welcome to the Planet

A lush, bittersweet farewell to a legendary voice. Pastoral progressive rock layered with rich brass, intricate violins, and a deep sense of English history.

It's like a warm hug from a very talented English orchestra that's also a little bit sad.

A sophisticated blend of celebratory joy and quiet, elegiac reflection.
