The CD “Cerulean Blue” by Rain consists of seven tracks, each introduced by a section for narrator, string quartet and sound effects. The narrator, Rob Brown, has appeared in the major BBC adaptation of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. Other contributors include the saxophonist Iain Ballamy, winner of the BBC Award for Innovation in Jazz.
The narration and lyrics tell the story of a young man’s once-in-a-life-time journey across America; the characters he meets and experiences he has. The story is told through a series of postcards that have been received by the mysterious Mr. Jaeger who is following the young man’s trail. The story comes to a dramatic and emotional conclusion on the slopes of Mount McKinley in Alaska, where Mr. Jaeger’s secret is finally revealed.
The CD also includes a 5 minute accompanying DVD film "ASHES", starring Rob Brown, along with text files of the lyrics, "Ashes" script and a 40-page discussion of the CD with the author.
This was the pre show music for the 2005 Hackett Tour
“I love this album – I’ve never heard anything like it.”
TONY SMITH
“A compelling freshness and originality and a fantastic voice.
The best thing I’ve heard for years.”
PHIL COLLINS
“…The kind of music I wish I was doing…”
TONY BANKS
“The CD is a fantastic trip and every time that I played it the journey has been always different. It's a simple, but grand concept album in the style of the generous and magical early seventies, when people like Bowie, Genesis, Yes, Gentle Giant, VDGG, Floyd made me dream in the combination of art and music.”
