DarWin 3: Unplugged, is a collection of orchestral and stripped back versions of tracks from the first two albums. Highlights range from the sweeping instrumental takes of Escape The Maze and The Last Chance recorded at Abbey Road Studios, Nightmare of My Dreams recorded in Iceland, to a poignant acapella version of Another Year. The album, once again produced by Simon Phillips (Toto, The Who, Santana), features DarWin (guitars), Matt Bissonette (Elton John, Jeff Beck) on bass and vocals, The Chamber Orchestra of London, and The Reykjavik Quartet across its eight tracks. Phillips also adds his signature percussion and effects to the album. DarWin is Back!Classic Rock claimed that the debut album Origin of Species saved the concept album as well as the planetOnce more DarWin has assembled a stunning ensemble of musicians. DarWin 2: A Frozen War continues the deep collaboration with Simon Phillips (drums, Toto/The Who/Jeff Beck) and Matt Bissonette (Elton John, David Lee Roth, Ringo Starr)And introduces a stellar cast of top musicians includingBilly Sheehan (bass, Mr Big/ Steve Vai/Winery Dogs),Guthrie Govan (guitar, Aristocrats/Asia/Hans Zimmer/Steven Wilson),Greg Howe (guitar, Michael Jackson/Justin Timberlake),Derek Sherinian (keyboards, Dream Theater/Alice Cooper/Black Country Communion) and moreDarWin says, We started working on DarWin 2: A Frozen War while still finishing Origin of Species. This new album is therefore more like a final chapter to OoS. The title song A Frozen War represents the final battle for the future of Earth. It has a heavier feel than the first album, and I think represents our best stuff.We shifted live recording to Iceland and Billy Sheehan joined us on bass in the studio while Matt was often traveling with Elton John. Were also joined on the album by Guthrie Govan, Greg Howe and Derek Sherinian doing killer leads, and many more players that are super exciting.5 track CD 6-panel card wallet with bookletNightmare of My DreamsFuture HistoryEternal lifeA Frozen WarAnother YearTracklist detailsLP 1Nightmare of My DreamsFuture HistoryEternal lifeA Frozen WarAnother YearLP 2Escape the Maze (orchestral)RiseForeverLast ChanceNightmare of My Dreams (orchetra)Slowly Melting (unplugged)One Horizon
