Paul, Mick - Parallel Lives CD
SKU
23-Para 001
“The debut solo album by bassist from the DAVID CROSS BAND containing 14 top-quality self-written and produced melodic prog songs that feature some superb guest players and vocalists!
The musician line-up is: Mick Paul (bass / guitar / backing vocals), Sheila Maloney (piano / keyboards), Ondes Martinet (vocal / synthesizers), Steve Roberts (drums), Craig Blundell (drums), Jinian Wilde (vocals), David Cross (violin), David Jackson (flutes / whistles), Paul Clark (guitar), Dennis Mahon (vocal) and Geoff Winkworth (guitar).
Originally a classical guitarist, Mick discovered bass at the age of fifteen. During a career going back to the 1970’s he has played bass with many established artists and partaken in numerous tours and TV sessions.
He then started writing his own material with some commercial success, but it wasn’t until he joined the DAVID CROSS BAND in 1995 that he found his feet as a writer, alongside the realisation that he actually belonged in PROG, as his first big influences were YES and KING CRIMSON.
During the recording of the album ‘Exiles’ (his first recording for the band) he worked with Robert Fripp, Peter Hammill, John Wetton & Pete Sinfield, which Mick recalls was a great experience.”
