Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Doug Curran and Jeffrey Crecelius
This week Mark and I spoke to Chris Braide from the Downes Braide Association about their new album, Trauma. Even if you don’t know Chris, you will know his work because he has written and/or produced songs for many of the world’s most successful artists. He’s been nominated for a Grammy and has won an Ivor Novello songwriting award. This is the 6th DBA album and we usually manage to speak to Geoff Downes about the duo’s output so it was great to have a chat with the other half of the outfit.
Chris’ Yes connections go further than Geoff, of course, as he was one of the original members of Producers, along with Trevor Horn. In fact, he has recently released new versions of the songs on the Producers’ 2012 album, Made In Basing Street. You can listen to that collection on Bandcamp.
Mark and I highly recommend Trauma, which is released today on Cherry Red Records, complete with another fabulous Roger Dean cover.
- Is this album different to the previous 5 from DBA?
- Who are the guests this time?
- Is the music relevant to progressive rock fans?
