Rick Wakeman and The English Rock Ensemble have returned with Return To The Red Planet, a follow-up to the 2020 album The Red Planet. The new album was inspired by new data from the Perseverance rover and other sources. Wakeman brought the entire band together to work in the studio and wanted vocals to function like instruments rather than follow traditional song structures.
Wakeman praised the work of The English Rock Ensemble members and expressed his appreciation for Mollie Marriott's performance. Martian Dust Devils was the first track recorded for the album. The composition Bowie's Vision draws inspiration from David Bowie's fascination with Mars and his influence on Wakeman.
The album cover was designed by Martin Robert Cook. Wakeman is also returning to this year's Starmus Festival. Return To The Red Planet is available for purchase.
