Official Statement

STOP PRESS - NEW CD UPDATE - NEW SONGS - JOHN WETTON COLLABORATION!!!

Just as we were about to prepare for final mixing of the much awaited new solo CD, an inspired Ken suddenly announced that he wanted to include 5 new songs and that they perfectly complemented the theme of the new album.

It just so happened that John Wetton was in the studio here while we were considering whether or not to delay the release. Ken has been conscious of the anticipation worldwide of "Running Blind" - those of us privileged enough to have been involved with the recording process know that this collection of songs will redefine Ken's already momentous contribution to rock music. Without a doubt, his finest work, EVER!!!!!

John Wetton and Ken last worked together in 1976. So, 25 years on we are delighted to confirm that John and Ken are to realise a 21st century perspective to their Uriah Heep collaboration. …….. The opportunity was too good to miss!!!

John has rightly been dubbed as "The Golden Voice of Rock and Roll"… ”Heat of the Moment” is a testament to anthemic progressive rock, the first Asia album went straight to number 1 in the USA, and was there for 9 weeks. He is one of the finest bass players the UK has produced, ranking with any on the world stage and Ken has often paid tribute to John's arranging skills.

So we apologise that the release will be delayed slightly for the best possible reasons.

We will be posting MPEG samplers and, we will be compiling bonus material solely limited for those who have expressed interest on the web site.

More to follow.
