NEW DANCE ORCHESTRA – Electronica (feat. Geoff Downes/Anne-Marie Helder) 2014

NDOElectronicaCover
This is an intriguing release from the highly-talented Geoffrey Downes, or Geoff Downes as you know him, erstwhile keyboard tinkler from Asia and Yes. New Dance Orchestra is an ongoing project but to my knowledge this is the first time Geoff has employed a vocalist extensively.

And when this is award-winning Anne-Marie Helder (Panic Room, Mostly Autumn), you know it’s going to be something a bit special. Previous NDO releases have actually been more akin to library music so Anne-Marie’s input provides a warmth and humanity otherwise sometimes lacking.
