Le Sacre Du Travail - The Rite Of Work: Limited Edition

The Tangent are back with their 7th studio album "Le Sacre Du Travail (The Rite Of Work)" - an electric symphonia by Andy Tillison feat. band members GAVIN HARRISON (drummer of Porcupine Tree) and JONAS REINGOLD (bassist of The Flower Kings).

The hour long Sinfonia in Five Movements was inspired by Igor Stravinsky's "The Rite Of Spring".

Always a "full on" prog band, the Tangent have never disguised their influences, never hidden them when unfashionable and have resolutely championed the form since day one.

Writing challenging, frequently long, realistic pieces about the contemporary world with singing in a gruff Northern English accent is a trademark of the group, yet their sometimes punkish roots are shaped into massive soundscapes, complex melodic workouts and displays of sheer virtuosity.
