Jakko Jakszyk had a life-changing moment when he saw King Crimson playing Watford Town Hall on the 15th July 1971. Hearing the band that night instilled in the 13-year-old Jakko a determination to become a professional musician, setting him off on the road to what has been by any definition a remarkable career. 2020 sees the release of Jakko Jakszyk's latest solo album, "Secrets & Lies" featuring King Crimson bandmates, Robert Fripp, Gavin Harrison, Tony Levin, and Mel Collins. Containing ten songs that explore topics such as obsession, betrayal, the shifting grounds of contemporary politics, and the tangled threads of family history, Secrets And Lies balances sensitive writing, musical technique, and accessible tunes cast in an impressively cinematic sound world. With three of the tracks, Separation, Under Lock & Key and Uncertain Times originating in King Crimson's writing sessions, the result is a mature work brimming with yearning melodies in symphonic or widescreen settings, fluid guitar work, and Jakko's heartfelt, emotional vocals. Boasting guest contributions from Simple Minds bassist John Giblin, Level 42's Mark King and Van der Graff Generator's Peter Hammill, who co-wrote one of the songs, this is Jakko Jakszyk's most accomplished solo release to date. 'Secrets & Lies' is available as a Limited CD/DVD Digipak featuring 5.1 mix & music videos & as Gatefold 180g LP + CD.<br/><br/>CD+DVD<br/>DIGIPAK<br/>LIMITED EDITION

On a strange night in December 2019, Devin Townsend brought his high wire act to The Roundhouse, a converted railway shed in Camden, North London. It was the penultimate show of the tour in support of his latest album, the breath-takingly intricate and ambitious Empath, which itself found the man who made it consciously throwing off the artistic shackles he'd spent the past two decades wrapping around himself. This was Devin Townsend without a safety net, as captured on the brand new Blu-Ray/DVD 'Order of Magnitude - Empath Live Volume 1'. The incredible line-up included guitarists Mike Kenneally (ex-Frank Zappa) and Markus Reuter (Stick Men,The Crimson Projekct), drummer Morgen Agren (Kaipa, Mats & Morgan, Frank Zappa), bassist Nathan Navarro, Haken keyboard player Diego Tejeida, and guitarist/vocalist Ché Aimee Dorval, as well as vocalists Samantha & Anne Preis and Arabella Packford. 'Order of Magnitude' is his crowning glory. After a lifetime of caring - sometimes too much - this is Devin Townsend free and unchained, rising to yet another challenge that he had set. Available as a Limited Deluxe 2CD+Blu-Ray+DVD Artbook (with expanded artwork), 2CD+DVD Digipak, Standalone Blu-Ray & as Limited 3LP+2CD Boxset. DVD + Blu-Ray include 5.1 mix and Blu-Ray includes bonus documentary.<br/><br/>CD+DVD<br/>DIGIPAK<br/>LIMITED EDITION
