"Jules Verne (b. France, 1828, d. 1905), A writer of comedies, librettos and the uncanny father of Science Fiction. His works fall little short of prophecies. His second book, "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" remains a fantasy and provided the inspiration for this work."

Following my review to most known albums, could not ignore the master Rick Wakeman and this iconic and unforgettable live performance of one of his marvelous creations: "Journey To The Centre Of The Earth" based on the eponymous book of science-fiction Jules Verne's writer.
This album is that I got deeply through their first few seconds so characteristic and so used in any radio program existed … or not?
Wakeman, musical genius in the modern era without question.
If you ask me what is his best album, I say unequivocally "Journey To The Centre Of The Earth".
One last thing, the LP, you know, appears with four titles, but without divisions. The CD releases are not divided into 4 tracks, only leave it in two long tracks … Well, today I make an exception to the rule, and subdivided it the LP on the 4 songs.Fran Solo, MMXII
