about

Now available for the first time on Bandcamp.

'Nothing Is Written' was the first proper full length Galahad album to be released on CD in June 1991. It was then subsequently released on cassette in Poland and also in Japan on CD complete with a Japanese lyric sheet!

The band at this point were still very young, three members being barely out their teens, however the band managed to independently write, rehearse, arrange and record this album on a shoestring budget paid for by themselves from gig money/merchandise etc.

The album was recorded at 'Room With A View' studios in St. Leonards near Ringwood during 1990. Steve Smith, the owner also co-engineered the album with Neal Smith which they also co-produced with the band.

It is interesting to note that the Mellotron used in 'Nothing Is Written' belonged to Martin Orford of IQ at the time and was subsquently sold to Clive Nolan (Pendragon/Arena/Shadowland etc.) and used by the band again fifteen years later at Thin Ice Studios on their 'Empires Never Last' album and then subsequently on 'Battle Scars' and 'Beyond the Realms of Euphoria' in 2012. The same Mellotron was also used by The Cardiacs on their classic 1988 'A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window' album, thus a very well travelled instrument indeed!

IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF GOING!

The White Witch - A Symphonic Trilogy
by Magenta

This is the most beautiful symphonic progressive music I have heard since I first heard Yes' Magnification nearly 20 years ago. Robert Reed's orchestrations are magnificent, and are very much on par with Trevor Rabin's film scores as well as Larry Groupe's score for Magnification. I am a french horn player, and his soaring horn parts are some of the best I have ever heard. For some reason I could not select Part1: Sacrifice as my favorite track. It is indeed my favorite. luckeydoug1

Himlabacken Vol. 2 (24-bit audio)
by Moon Safari

supported by 7 fans who also own “Nothing Is Written”

"Moon Safari" is back with a full-length studio album after more than 10 years - not counting the interesting collaboration in 2016 with Steve Nardelli and his band "The Syn". It's the long-awaited second part of "Himlabacken", and it's in the same vein, to my delight. Once again, incredible melody arcs and lush vocal harmonies in abundance! Pontus Åkesson surprises with an AOR ballad - unusual for the band, but such a magnificent one that it became my favorite track. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
