Max Hunt's debut solo song-based album 'Hope' is now available to stream /download on the official Fragile Bandcamp page.
Pre-orders for the CD release are also available and include download and streaming of the digital album. CDs will be dispatched from Nov 8th.
This album features over an hour of new original music in the form of 10 songs recorded during the worst period of the Covid19 Lockdown 2020/21 and is supported by the Hessische Kulturstiftung.
For Max 'Hope' represents the personal hope of a renaissance in musical culture and is inspired in part by the despair, anger and depression of this time and conversely the hope, enthusiasm and excitement for a better future.
Other inspirations for 'Hope' include: Vicar's talking to Toads, the Bavarian 'Alte Kath Zwiefache' dance, reoccurring childhood dreams, Dark Age European history, Space flight, Scifi, fantasy, natural sounds, west African Baka polyphonic Yodelling and Languages.
CDs come in a 4 page full colour printed slim card Digisleeve design package featuring stunning artwork from US artist Steve Mayerson.
Includes unlimited streaming of Hope
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about
Original idea from Jon Anderson project sessions 2009
lyrics
Ikaros
Heat of the sun, as it beats into the ground
Sight of the one, in the void all will surround
Gazing at iridescent orb up there
Departing and rising ever higher
Reach for the sky, for the Master had shown that you wanted to try
Reach for the dreams, that you truly believe in
Sail right on by, as the truth realised he had tought you to fly
Sail for the sun, on your wings of freedom
Light have you forsaken me, shade has entered here
Sending me into a cool dark world, falling freely remains
Falling, Rupture
Folding, Maneuver
Sensing, Water
Under Me

Wonderful, beautiful, densely layered music. I'm glad I gave this album several headphone listens before commenting. It did not immediately strike a chord with me, but the more I listened the more I began to understand and appreciate how fantastically rich and deep the sound is. For fans of atmospheric and melodic prog, this is an excellent addition. Bass and drum work are exquisite! paliojen_black
