The Enid, infamous for producing more than three decades of unique Symphonic Rock music, brings yet another fantastic album to the table. Journeys End offers a rollercoaster ride of dynamic thrills, heroically bridging the gap between rock and classical. Founding composer, Robert John Godfrey opens his arms wide to the new generation, inviting a multitude of ideas from co-writer Max Read. With much of The Enids earlier work being instrumental, the vocals offer an exciting new element to Journeys End, as cryptic lyrics paint adventures across a chaotic universe.
The Enid is best remembered for work such as: In the Region of the Summer Stars, Aerie Faerie Nonsense and Something Wicked This Way Comes. Following a full 30 minute live recording of the Enids Fand being aired on Radio 1s Friday Rock Show in 1982, presenter Tommy Vance tells the listening public Robert John Godfrey is to my mind one of the greatest composers this country has ever had... The following year, Something Wicked This Way Comes outsells all other albums.
October 2011 saw a collaborative performance between the Enid and one of the worlds greatest orchestras (the CBSO), bringing the compositions from this album to life at Birmingham Symphony Hall, the best concert venue in Europe. Following the concert, The Enid has received high critical acclaim as Incomparable, unique and always adventurous... The Midland Rocks. The Express and Star reviewed The delivery of Enid songwriter Robert John Godfreys songs through a rock band augmented by an orchestra and choir worked brilliantly.
Journeys End is the first in a trilogy of albums, soon followed by Invicta in November 2012.
