about
A masterpiece. A tale of a grand departure of dreaming people.
Brilliant songwriting, HUGE harmonies, awesome arrangements and that Conway trademark big sound. Yes this is the BIG album.
"Here folk makes friends with African, and Indian influences and produces plenty to enjoy" - Q Magazine
A feeling of rebirth and moving out of the darkness of Storming grew as the project went on. The concept took shape also. CC was taken up in a kind of fervour which makes this album such a special one for him.
As recording progressed a concept formed - of special creative dreaming people gathering together and leaving on a journey.
Influences - Paul Kantner, Alan Stivell , Vikki Clayton, Brain Wilson, Jimmy Web, Terry Riley
Reviews
Available for the first time, on the other hand, is Chris Conway's self-described "magnum opus so far", an even more ambitious work entitled 'Earth Rising'. Its themes of gathering, celebration and departure are delivered in a kaleidoscopic patchwork-quilt of sounds, vivid, articulate and moving.
If Conway's debut album was an assured artistic statement, then 'Earth Rising' is supremely confident music making.
It's to his credit that despite the scale of his ambition, embracing a variety of fashionable and less-fashionable styles - Celtic roots, rock, pop, eastern drones, an ecologically aware singer-songwriter's concerns for his home planet - the sheer class of his arrangements, and the performances from Conway and his numerous guests (including Vikki Clayton, Sally Barker, Clive Bunker, Jodi Krangle and Dan Britton) results in a sound which is nothing less than exhilarating. It's no mean achievement, for such a musical potpourri can all too easily fall flat.
Conway's vocal is the thread which connects all the contrasting styles and moods, though the variety is consistently complementary. There are some glorious harmonies, thought-provoking lyrics and plenty of impeccable playing. A splendid collection which hits the spot, time and time again.
