White Rock (album)
''White Rock'' is the second soundtrack album by English keyboardist Rick Wakeman, released in January 1977 by A&M Records. It was produced as the soundtrack to '' White Rock'', a 1977 documentary film about the 1976 Winter Olympics held in Innsbruck, Austria. In 1999, Wakeman released a sequel soundtrack, ''White Rock II''. Recording Wakeman had forgotten about a track he had been asked to compose, titled "After the Ball". Instead of confessing to the producers that he had forgot to write something, he said he had a composition ready and proceeded to play a completely improvised track. The first take was a success, without the need to record a second take. "After the Ball" has become part of Wakeman's repertoire, featured on several future albums and videos. "Ice Run" uses parts of "Anne of Cleves", a track from Wakeman's first album, '' The Six Wives of Henry VIII'' (1973). The comparison can be made by listening to "Anne of Cleves" at 00:48 and "Ice Run" at 3:29. Track l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
