11 Iconic Tracks Reinvented on 180g Vinyl LP!
Reimagined Hits from 1982 to 2012 Performed by Tori Amos, Rick Astley, Lady Blackbird, Iggy Pop, Seal & More!
Superproducer Trevor Horn is often credited with creating the sound of the '80s. For Echoes - Ancient & Modern, his debut album for Deutsche Grammophon, he has taken 11 iconic tracks, from that decade and beyond, and reinvented them with different vocalists and brand-new orchestral arrangements.
The booklet notes feature an interview in which Paul Morley talks to his long-time friend and collaborator about how he picked the right artists to help him transform familiar songs into something magical and new.
Horn himself sings vocals on the Roxy Music classic "Avalon," as well as producing Marc Almond, Tori Amos, Rick Astley, Andrea Corr, Steve Hogarth, Lady Blackbird, Jack Lukeman, Iggy Pop, Seal and Toyah Wilcox & Robert Fripp in tracks originally performed by Pat Benatar; The Cars; Depeche Mode; Frankie Goes to Hollywood; Billy Idol; Joe Jackson; Grace Jones; Kendrick Lamar; Nirvana and Yes.
