Darryl Way launches cosmic prog record

Cuved Air founding member Darryl Way has launched Children Of The Cosmos, his first prog album in over 20 years.

The 12-track work showcases his unique take on the prog genre over his four decades of activity, and features his composition, vocal and violin skills. View his video for the title track below.

Way says: “I’ve tried to recreate the spirit of experimentation that led to the progressive rock movement of the late 60s and early 70s. As I did in the early days of Curved Air, I’ve tried to integrate my classical background with rock music to create soundscapes that are hopefully both exciting and innovative.”

“The lyrics are my observations of the world we live in, echoing some of the issues touched upon in the music of the late 60s.

“It has been a pleasure and a privilege to pass this way once more, and I hope that rock fans will enjoy this album as much as I did creating it.”

Children Of The Cosmos is valuable now via Cherry Red and iTunes.

Darryl Way: Children Of The Cosmos

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
