Musically, ‘Seas of Change’ features just the five main Galahad members plus long term honorary member Sarah Bolter who makes an appearance on flute, clarinet and soprano sax. ‘Seas of Change’ is also Tim Ashton’s first appearance on a Galahad album containing completely brand new material since he appeared on ‘Nothing Is Written‘ back in 1990!Īs ever the album was pulled together mixed and mastered by engineer/producer extraordinaire Karl Groom (Threshold/Dragonforce/Pendragon/Arena etc.) at Thin Ice Studios in Surrey. We feel that Lee has added his own stamp and expanded the Galahad sound palette whilst still retaining the Galahad feel and overall sound. Lee is already familiar to the band and a fully paid up part of the Galahad family having been the band’s bass player from 2005 to 2009 and appearing on one of their most critically and commercially successful albums ‘Empires Never Last’ as well as on a couple of live albums. ‘Seas of Change’ is also the first album to feature Lee Abraham on all guitars following his re-joining of the band in the Spring of 2017. ‘Seas of Change’ is a kind of hybrid in terms of musical style, featuring more traditional, occasionally pastoral, elements reminiscent of the ‘older’ Galahad sound whilst also incorporating the heavier guitar and more modern ‘techno’ keyboard sounds of the last few studio albums.

ALE X DANCHEV ‘The imaginative transformation of human life is the means by which we can most truly grasp and comprehend it.’ That is the credo and manifesto of this book.We at Galahad Towers are very pleased and proud to announce the release of our new studio album ‘Seas of Change’, which is the follow up to the 2017 ‘Quiet Storms’ album which contained fifteen short(ish) tracks and was a much more mellow affair whereas ‘Seas of Change’ is the polar opposite and consists of just one forty three minute track, which twists and turns creating, what we think is, a full on no holds barred prog/rock rollercoaster of an album. ‘Whatever is given,’ he writes in his own idiom, ‘can always be reimagined, however four-square/Plank-thick, hull-stupid and out of its time/It happens to be.’ The essays collected here seek to investigate these claims. They put the imagination to work, in the service of historical, political and ethical inquiry. Employing its second sight, they pigg y-back on its moral benefits. The nobility of poetry, says Wallace Stevens, is a violence from within that protects us from a violence without. This is a book about violence of both kinds. It traffics in war poetry, war photography, war films, war stories, war diaries and the like, but also in war itself: in blood – blood like a carwash, as Christopher Logue’s Homer has it – and therefore in political legitimacy, moral authority, civility, depravity, terror, torture, honour and conscience not to speak of strange things like active passivity and senseless kindness. We need all the protection we can get.Īlex Danchev is Professor of International Relations at the University of Nottingham.
