Interview Guy Manning
Interview Guy Manning British multi-instrumentalist Guy Manning: “I like my albums to be more than just songs” (December 2011, text by Henri Strik, edited by Peter Willemsen, pictures provided by Guy Manning) For several years Guy Manning asked me if I would do an interview with him. After every new album I said I would love to talk to him, but there was always something that prevented me from doing so. With the release of his twelfth studio album Margaret's Children (see Manning Web site Press page) I finally managed to do what I had promised to do for such a long time. Guy certainly deserves this attention, because he certainly is one of the most underrated musicians in the progressive rock community. So finally here it is: the Guy Manning interview for Background Magazine! Can you tell me please why you made a sequel to the Anser's Tree album? What's the story behind Margaret's Children? Guy Manning: “Okay, let me start with the story first! There really is no linear narrative storyline concept in either album, that is, no storyline like in The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Snow or Tommy, but there is the container concept which is a concept that binds the songs together under one umbrella idea, like a single family or a house. The idea behind both albums is that this is one family and the songs are the stories about the characters in it. From the earliest Margaret Montgomery set around 1600 in Scotland right through to Dr. Jonathan Anser in the near future. -
Progressive Ears) October 2013
A Review of Manning - The Root, The Leaf & The Bone by Imperial for (Progressive Ears) October 2013 “First of all, it was October, a rare month for boys”, the opening line of Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury. That line has lived with me through most of my life and it’s one that’s had particular relevance this year. Less than a fortnight ago I was listening to some great music in good company at the Summers End Festival in Lydney. Whilst there I was handed a copy of The Tangent’s, L’Etragere Du Travail, by Andy Tillison himself and on my return home, through the mail, I received two new CDs – North by John Lee’s Barclay James Harvest and The Root, The Leaf & The Bone by Manning. A rare month indeed and we’re only half way through it! Guy Manning has, over the last few years, become a particular favourite singer/songwriter of mine. He possesses a rare ability to tell musical stories in the most lyrical and expressive manner, one that breathes life into the subject matter of his songs. So, what of the new Manning release, The Root, The Leaf & The Bone? The album consists of nine songs that are loosely concerned with the concept of change – our place in history, our relationship with the natural world, memories of earlier times and the legacy we leave behind us. Each and every day we walk amongst our history, whether it’s out in open view or buried beneath our feet. This album is Guy Manning’s reflection on what that all means to us in an age where we rarely have chance to contemplate anything other than what we’re doing at any given moment. -

Sweden ARTROCK Artrock Sweden 2010
Sweden ARTROCK ArtRock Sweden 2010 En årskrönika Året 2010 präglades av ett intensivt musikliv där konserter och spelningar verkar finnas i en allt större omfattning. I de mer folkrika städerna kan man ju i princip finna något att se/höra var dag i veckan. Konkurrensen om dess publik blir då naturligtvis även den hårdare, många som vågar (en eloge till er) får också svårare att få det gå ihop ekonomiskt men eldsjälarna verkar aldrig ge sig tack och lov. Det har blivit en hel del konsertrapporter och recensioner 2010 på ArtRock och ett stort tack till er skribenter som gett oss dessa. Sweden Rock Festival Norje, Sölvesborg 9-12 Juni 2010 Med över 250 albumrecensioner det gångna året har vi förhoppningsvis gett musikbranschen och er läsare så många bra och Text: Ulf Classon objektiva bedömningar eller tyckande som möjligt och naturligtvis massor med tips på kvalitativa plattor. Foto: Conny Myrberg Betyg: ett sattyg enligt mitt sett att se det hela men båda band och promotors verkar föredra det så … vi kör vidare på den in- slagna linjen. Ibland tenderar det gå inflation i höga poäng och 2010 har vi möjligen varit väl givmilda men samtidigt poängterar Trött, sliten och glad sjunker jag ner i soffan där hemma. Ännu ett besök på Sweden Rock Festival kan läggas till handlingarna och nu är här skribenterna sitt gillande och ni som känner till deras personliga smak kan lugnt införskaffa skivan i fråga. Här presenteras jag mest sugen på att ta igen förlorad sömn och få upp värmen i kroppen än att dricka öl ur plastflaska och kolla på konserter. -
MELLOTRONEN - Progrockens Främsta (?) Kännetecken!
MELLOTRONEN - Progrockens främsta (?) kännetecken! Karl-Göran Karlsson En introduktion till boken ”Mellotron – The Machine and the Musicians that Revolutionised Rock” skriven av Nick Awde (utgiven 2008 av förlaget Desert Hearts, www.deserthearts.com, England, rekommenderat pris £19.95) 1. Inledning De flesta människor har säkert hört musik spelad med Mellotron men om man frågar någon (ja, naturligtvis inte någon av er ärade Progrock/Artrock-nördar!) om han eller hon vet vad en Mellotron är så möts man i regel av klockrena fågelholkar. D v s, de fattar överhuvudtaget inte vad man menar. När man då antyder att det är en maskin med inspelade ljudsnuttar så lyser de upp och säger ”Aha – du menar en synth! Men – än sen då, det är väl inte så märkvärdigt?”. Suck och stön, säger jag bara. De har överhuvudtaget inte fattat någonting under dessa mer än 50 år som denna märkliga maskin funnits. Men vad har jag då för fog att påstå att de flesta någon gång har hört detta instrument (eller vad man nu skall kalla det) spela? Och varför skulle det vara något speciellt med Mellotronen i jämförelse med alla dessa keyboards och synthesizers som vällt över oss de senaste halva århundradet? Om jag då ger följande två exempel på låtar där Mellotronen haft en framträdande plats så undrar jag inte om polletten till slut faller ner: 1. Beatles: ”Strawberry Fields Forever” (utgiven 1966, egentligen inspelad för Sgt. Pepper-LP-n men istället utgiven som singel tillsammans med ”Penny Lane”, finns dock även på plattan Magical Mystery Tour) 2. The Moody Blues: ”Nights in White Satin” (singel utgiven 1967 och sedan även på LP-n ”Days of Future Passed” från samma år) När det gäller den första låten så känner väl de flesta till den. -
Auto Reconnaissance
The Tangent – Auto Reconnaissance (60:18, CD, LP+CD, Digital, InsideOut / Sony Music, 2020) Zufälligerweise drehte sich in letzter Zeit ein Großteil der Tangent Diskografie im heimischen CD Player. Befasst man sich so geballt und vor allem längere Zeit ausführlich mit der Band / dem Projekt von Andy Tillison, dann bleibt vor allem hängen, dass die musikalische Qualität über all die Jahre eigentlich immer stimmte. Klar gab es auch bei The Tangent ein paar Ausreißer, doch deren Retro Prog mit Canterbury Anleihen, dem immer andere Zutaten in moderaten Dosen beigemischt wurde, hat durchaus eine gewisse Eigenständigkeit und vor allem seine sofort erkennbare Eigenheiten bewahrt. Da bildet glücklicherweise „Auto Reconnaissance“ keine Ausnahme. Eingespielt vom einigermaßen konstanten Line-Up Andy Tillison – Gesang, Keyboards, Jonas Reingold – Bass, Theo Travis – Saxophon & Flöte, Luke Machin – Gitarre und Steve Roberts – Schlagzeug durchzieht das Album eine deutlichere Ausrichtung hin zum Jazz Rock, was sich bereits beim Vorgänger „Proxy“ erkennen ließ. Hinzu kommen als auflockernde Elemente stellenweise funkige Rhythmen, eine gewisse Laid-Back Atmosphäre mit luftigen Arrangements, wie auf der anderen Seite einige recht schräge Momente und eine gehörige Prise Humor ihren Platz finden. Vor allem die Abrechnung mit der englischen Brexit Politik, sowie einer gleichzeitigen Liebeserklärung an die englische Heimat im 28-minütigen „Lie Back & Think Of England“ offenbart das ganze musikalische Potenzial dieser englisch-schwedischen Zusammenarbeit. Während kürzere Titel wie die beiden vorab veröffentlichten ‚Life On Hold‘ oder ‚The Tower Of Babel‘ mit lässiger Up Tempo Rhythmik und direkter Musikalität sofort ins Ohr gehen, zünden die längeren Titel nicht unbedingt sofort. Gerade das über 15- minütige ‚Jinxed In Jersey‘, die vertonte, etwas andere Stadtbesichtigung von New York mit einigen hörspielartigen Sequenzen, weist doch gewisse Längen auf, steigert sich aber vor allem in den letzten 5 Minuten zu einer fulminanten Instrumentalorgie. -
Ingo Schmitz Attached You Find the Original
www.soundmagnet.eu Ingo Schmitz Attached you find the original Interview before the translation from english to german between Ingo for Soundmagnet.eu and Andy from The Tangent: What was the initial idea behind Auto Reconnaissance? Mostly your lyrics are up to date and are dealing with actual social and political issues. I think the current Covid-19 situation is reflected indirectly, too. Do you share this point? Yes... you are right, there is an element of real world social and political awareness in The Tangent's music and has been since the third album. It is one of the things that give The Tangent its identity and difference with many other bands. Not everyone likes this aspect of our music, but many like the band because of this. We have this anonymous Hungarian guy who follows us about on Youtube telling everyone he hates our lyrics.. makes me laugh. So much cool music in the world for him to like but wastes his time hating ours. And at the same time we have a fan in the Australian Government who searches out our music simply because he feels that we are dealing with issues that he feels more people should be addressing. So.. as usual in the post internet world, lots of opinions, no answers. We don't give answers, we ask questions and hope people will ask them too. „Auto Reconnaissance“ is another of our socially aware albums, but this is far less about „politics“ - it's more about forgiveness, understanding and knowing one's self better. And this is what I wanted to achieve. -

Damanek "In Flight" Interview with Guy Manning (KOID9)
KOID9 Interview with Guy Manning Hello Guy, even if you're probably not the most well known (prog) musician, your career last for about 20 years, can you introduce yourself to the French audience and present your work since Parallel or 90 degrees and your first solo work ? Ok…deep breathe...here goes…a potted history…. I worked in a few local bands in the 80s and at one session recorded for the BBC, I used a studio run by a man called Andy Tillison. We got on rather well and later AT asked me to be a part of Parallel or 90 Degrees, but shortly after, that Po90 line-up reduced to really just AT and me. We started to pool equipment and wanted to test it out on something so decide to do some reworkings of songs by mutually loved Van Der Graaf Generator / Peter Hammill. From these sessions, an album “No More Travelling Chess” was born and we at first sold it on Cassette mail order before CYCLOPS records took it up and so it was released (in an enhanced form) on CD. Running up to 1999, I was working abroad a lot and so had to quit Po90, but once back form there, I got in touch with Andy to help out on making a debut album for me “Tall Stories for Small Children”. This was eventually released on CYCLOPS in 1999. Since then, I have released 14 more “solo” albums under the name MANNING, plus I was asked by Andy to get involved on the debut TANGENT album, “The music that died alone” and I stayed helping out for a further 3 albums and a live album before moving on. -
