Ten: questo mese in uscita il box set Opera Omnia

04 Aprile 2019 1 Commento Massimiliano MaxAor Carli

Uscirà il prossimo 26 Aprile via Frontiers Music Srl il box set dei Ten, Opera Omnia: The Complete Works.

Iniziato come una sorta di progetto solista costruito attorno al cantante e songwriter britannico Gary Hughes, il gruppo ha consolidato il proprio sound – fatto di Hard Rock classico e melodico fra UFO, Thin Lizzy, Magnum, Giant e Whitesnake – in anni in cui suonare questa particolare musica era considerato un suicidio commerciale.

Ma lavori come The Name Of The Rose, The Robe, Spellbound e il concept album Babylon hanno ottenuto grandi consensi di critica e fan, e hanno messo la band in prima fila nella rinascita di questo tipo di sonorità.

I Ten sono rimasti incentrati attorno al talento artistico di Hughes per 22 anni e 14 studio album. Opera Omnia: The Complete Works è un cofanetto in edizione limitata da 16 CD, in replica vinile, che attesta l’intera storia della formazione, incluso un numero considerevole di brani rari e bonus track.

Ricordiamo che la formazione inglese sarà ospite della prima giornata del Frontiers Rock Festival di Milano il 27 Aprile.
