DIGIPAK<br/>SPECIAL EDITION

After two consecutive new Jethro Tull album releases in 2022 and 2023, another collection - 'Curious Ruminant' - is unleashed! Consisting of nine tracks varying in length from two and half minutes to almost seventeen minutes, this is an album of mostly full band music. Amongst the musicians featured are former keyboardist Andrew Giddings and drummer James Duncan, along with the current band members David Goodier, John O'Hara, Scott Hammond and, making his recording debut with the band, guitarist Jack Clark.<br/><br/>This version is a Special Edition CD 6-panel Digipak and comes with a 20-page booklet.

"This is a very important album for the band," says Steve Howe, Yes' longest serving member, master guitarist, and producer of Mirror to the Sky, the bands 23rd studio album. "We kept the continuity in the approach we established on The Quest, but we haven't repeated ourselves. That was the main thing. As Yes did in the seventies from one album to another, we're growing and moving forward. In later years, Yes often got going but then didn't do the next thing. This album is demonstrative of us growing, and building again." For Yes, that "next thing" is a collection of high energy, intricate, lush and layered new studio songs for an album which adds to the band's much heralded legacy, while charting a path to exciting future times ahead.

DIGIPAK<br/>LIMITED EDITION<br/>REISSUE

NMB are releasing their much-anticipated fourth album, "Innocence & Danger". The band comprise Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy, Randy George, Bill Hubauer & Eric Gillette. <br/>With NMB's previous two releases being concept albums, it's perhaps remarkable that "Innocence & Danger" is a series of unrelated songs, but drummer Mike Portnoy says "After two sprawling back to back double concept albums in a row, it was refreshing to get back to writing a collection of unrelated individual songs in the vein of our first album." Six years on from "The Grand Experiment", Morse is more enthusiastic than ever about the talents and contribution of his fellow band members on "Innocence & Danger": "The band is really so extraordinary - and is such an amazing team: Mike's drums are huge, Randy's bass playing is an ever-solid foundation and Eric's vocals are becoming crazy good now: often I'll sing the verse, Eric sings the chorus, Bill sings the bridge and Eric will bring it home. It seems to work really, really well. And both Bill and Eric's soloing is amazing: they have really hit it out of the park on this record." Available on Ltd 2CD+DVD Digipak (feat. 'Making Of' Documentay), Standard 2CD Jewelcase, 3LP+2CD Boxset.
