PHIL MANZANERA RELEASES '50 MINUTES LATER'
24 October 2005
Hannibal Records
Phil Manzanera, releases '50 Minutes Later,' his new album, on Hannibal Records on 24 October 2005, the follow-up to last year's critically acclaimed 6pm. He is joined by his Roxy band members Paul Thompson and Andy Mackay and Robert Wyatt and Brian Eno
50 Minutes Later is brimful of Manzanera's febrile musical and lyrical talent. He again surprises with his knack of painting vivid pictures, spanning his rock and roll dream that takes place in psychedelic London of '68 at the UFO club, Buenos Aires and out in the stratosphere of space, embroidered within a musical context that is always full of invention. Manzanera's signature guitar virtuosity, at times lyrical and at times explosive is much in evidence, counterpointing his 'storytelling' vocal style: it is an album that is 50 minutes of music richly textured and often inspirational.
50 Minutes Later passes through musical and geographic locations, times and dramatic mood changes from the haunting Bible Black, to his quest for peace on That's All I Know, to hyper reality in the 'happy snaps’ on Swimming. The 10 minute Enotonik Bible Black bonus track features sounds, courtesy of Manzanera, Eno Wyatt, Mackay ,Thompson, amongst others, that have probably never been heard this side of a black hole!
Manzanera:
"6PM" needed a companion so here it is ,it lasts 50 minutes and has pretty much the same people on it, fellow musical conspirators, grown up men and women with nothing better to do than get playful with music in a studio and in their front rooms! We are all part of a new generation…rock kids that have grown up and continue to make music, changing the boundaries as we all get older and refuse to go quietly!"
