Rick Wakeman - Journey To The Center Of The Earth (1974)




Journey to the Centre of the Earth is one of progressive rock's crowning achievements.
With the help of the London Symphony Orchestra and the English Chamber Choir,
Rick Wakeman turns this classic Jules Verne tale into an exciting and suspenseful
instrumental narrative. The story is told by David Hemmings in between the use of
Wakeman's keyboards, especially the powerful Hammond organ and the innovative
Moog synthesizer, and when coupled with the prestigious sound of the orchestra,
creates the album's fairy tale-like climate. Recorded at London's Royal Festival Hall,
the tale of a group of explorers who wander into the fantastic living world that exists
in the Earth's core is told musically through Wakeman's synthesized theatrics and
enriched by the haunting vocals of a chamber choir. Broken into four parts, the album's
most riveting segment, entitled "The Battle," involves Wakeman's most furious
synthesized attack, churning and swirling the keyboards into a mass instrumental
hysteria. With both "The Journey" and "The Forest," it's the effective use of the strings
and percussion section of the London Symphony Orchestra that causes the elements
of fantasy and myth to emerge from the album's depths. The gorgeous voice of Ashley Holt
is effectively prominent, and some interesting guitar work via Mike Egan arises occasionally
but meritoriously amidst the keyboard fervor. The whole of Journey to the Centre of the
Earth still stands as one of the most interesting conglomerations of orchestral and synthesized
music, and it is truly one of Wakeman's most flamboyant projects.
