Sanity & Gravity

Description

Gavin Harrison has established himself in recent years as one of the most revered drummers in the progressive rock scene. As a member of Pineapple Thief, Porcupine Tree and King Crimson at one time or another, as well as a guest on numerous acclaimed recordings, he has earned a reputation as one of the most exciting drummers around. In 1997, Gavin released "Sanity & Gravity", an impressive, ego-free debut solo album featuring performances from an exceptional band including Mick Karn, Richard Barbieri, Jakko Jakszyk (21st Century Schizoid Band) and Dave Stewart (Egg, National Health). Eschewing a typical "solo" drum album to demonstrate his prodigious technique, Gavin created an expressive and emotional album, strong in groove and melody. In his own words, "faced with the prospect of making a solo drum album, I decided to take a more experimental approach to my instrument, rather than make a record of fast solos and rhythms to try and show off my technique. I felt there was a way to express emotion from the drums played with the attitude of "blowing" on a saxophone." The original album has achieved legendary status in the 25 years since its initial conception, with the CD reaching high prices on the resale market. Kscope is now delighted to present the reissued and remastered album with an exclusive bonus track and new original artwork for the anniversary. A must-listen!
