| | Description: | The award-winning progressive rock band BIG BIG TRAIN release their 15th studio album via InsideOut Music on March 1, 2024, marking the first full release with new frontman Alberto Bravin (ex-PFM). The anxiously-awaited unveiling of ??The Likes Of Us?? follows BIG BIG TRAIN??s massively successful recent European tour, which saw them perform 17 concerts across nine countries, concluding with two triumphant appearances at London??s Cadogan Hall. The album is a stunning piece of work that retains all the elements that make the band so special, including absorbing and memorable arrangements and first-rate musicianship.
Definitions aside, BIG BIG TRAIN are a big fish in their chosen pond. Back in 2021, the group??s album ??Common Ground?? returned prog rock to the UK national Top 40 chart. ??First and foremost Big Big Train are a rock band, but we are absolutely a prog band, too,? bassist/co-founder Gregory Spawton declares. ??We are very conscious of the traditions that we follow; we have never dissed them and we never will. The fact that we put classic-sounding prog back into the charts is absolutely fantastic.?
On the group??s recent tour, two selections from ??The Likes Of Us?? ?? ??Oblivion?? and ??Love Is The Light?? ?? were introduced to an ecstatic audience response. During a tidal wave of rebirth and celebration, Bravin was accepted as one of the family. Indeed, the band??s ever-evolving chemistry has delivered mouth-watering results. ??We??ve got a great mix of people that want to be here and go the extra mile to do something very special,? drummer Nick D??Virgilio comments. ??There??s a big world of talented musicians out there, and luckily some of them want to hang out with us.?
??The Likes Of Us?? will be available as a Limited CD + Blu-ray Mediabook (feat. Dolby Atmos & 5.1 Surround Sound mixes by Bruce Soord of The Pineapple Thief as well as high-resolution stereo), Gatefold 180g 2LP, Standard CD Jewelcase & as a Digital Album.
- 'The Likes Of Us' will be released on several different formats, including for the first time as Dolby Atmos and 5. 1 mix by The Pineapple Thief's Bruce Soord, while the stereo mixes were undertaken by the band's regular engineer Rob Aubrey and Alberto Bravin. The Dolby Atmos mix will come as part of the Limited CD & Blu-ray Mediabook edition that also contains the album as 5. 1 Surround Sound & 24-bit high-resolution stereo. The album will also be available as a Gatefold 180g 2LP (available in black, sky blue, olive green and orange formats), Standard CD Jewelcase and Digital Album. The stunning artwork was created by the band's longstanding collaborator Sarah Louise Ewing, with layouts by Steve Vantsis. Besides marking the debut of our new frontman Alberto Bravin, 'The Likes Of Us' also heralds the beginning of our new relationship with InsideOutMusic, having self-released our music for almost two decades.Packaged in a digibook, including a 28 page stapled-in booklet with lyrics, photos, illustrations, credits and thank yous.
