Globus: Epicon
Produced by Imperativa Records, an offshoot of Immediate Music, Globus: Epicon is an “epic rock” hybrid of film trailers with added rock band and solo vocals. Epic is definitely the word! The CD is available for purchase from Imperativa or on amazon.co.uk or amazon.com. The Purcell Singers feature on about half of the tracks in Globus: Epicon, Trailerhead and Trailerhead: Saga. Trivia fans may be interested to know that the choir in Imperativa’s “Excelsius” CD, featuring music by Larry Groupé, is not The Purcell Singers, but it was conducted by Mark Ford.
