Product Description

Rick Wakeman, the legendary keyboardist and composer, invites you to embark on an epic musical adventure with his 2014 album, "Journey To The Centre Of The Earth." This sprawling, 108-minute symphonic masterpiece is a testament to Wakeman's prowess in progressive, symphonic, and art rock, offering a rich tapestry of sound that draws inspiration from Jules Verne's classic novel.

The album is a concept work, with each track serving as a chapter in the grand narrative. From the hauntingly beautiful "Preface To A Journey" to the climactic "Journey To The Centre Of The Earth," Wakeman weaves a tale of exploration and discovery, set to a backdrop of lush orchestrations and virtuosic performances. The title track, in particular, is a standout, showcasing Wakeman's signature keyboard work and his ability to create immersive, cinematic soundscapes.

"Journey To The Centre Of The Earth" is not just a collection of songs, but a fully realized musical journey. Wakeman's compositions are intricate and layered, with each listen revealing new details and nuances. The album's length and complexity make it a rewarding experience for both casual listeners and dedicated fans of progressive rock.

The album was released on June 20, 2014, under the Music Fusion label, and has since been praised for its ambition, creativity, and technical brilliance. Whether you're a long-time fan of Rick Wakeman or a newcomer to his music, "Journey To The Centre Of The Earth" is an album that demands to be heard and experienced in its entirety.

This is a 2016 Reissue released as a LP.

A Gem of Sound Quality
5 out of 5 stars
HuhzsKunac11 January 2025United Kingdom🇬🇧
From the very first note to the last, this LP is an absolute gem. The sound quality is top-notch, with tracks that are full of life and color. Every instrument shines through, and the percussion? Spot on, crisp and clear. It's a joy to listen to, start to finish, a true treat for the ears. If you're lucky enough to find a mint copy, you'll be in for a real treat—it's an experience you won't want to miss.
Ultimate Edition with Stunning Sound

The sound quality on this edition is absolutely stunning. I'm really digging the sleeve too. It's a gorgeous edition all around. In my view, it's the ultimate version.
Wakeman's Off-Key Moment
2 out of 5 stars
ohliyaj14 March 2024United States🇺🇸
The singing on the word 'crystal' is terrible. It's just one note, super fast, and off-key. I couldn't believe it, I had to listen again. I'm playing the radio version and can't figure out why it's different. Not Wakeman's finest work.
