Rick Wakeman - Viaje Al Centro De La Tierra
Review by Justin Reckers
Viaje Al Centro De La Tierra is a progressive rock album by the legendary keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The album takes the listener on a musical journey through Jules Verne's classic novel of the same name. The album features Wakeman's signature keyboard sound, combined with orchestral arrangements and a rock band.
The album is a masterpiece of progressive rock music, with intricate keyboard solos, complex time signatures, and beautiful orchestral arrangements. The album's opening track, "The Journey", sets the tone for the rest of the album with its epic sound and captivating melody.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Battle", which features a beautiful piano melody and a powerful orchestral arrangement. The track builds to a climactic finale, with Wakeman's keyboard work taking center stage.

Journey on through ages gone, to the centre of the earth
Past rocks of quartz and granite, which gave mother nature birth
Burial ground of ancient man, his life no more is seen,
A journey through his time unknown, I wonder where he's been
Wonder where he's been, wonder where he's been, wonder where he's been
The shore now gone behind the hills, a forest in our sight,
Rocks and distant mountains, bathed in waves of blinding light
Forests from far gone time, no living man has seen,
A private prehistoric world, for you and I a dream
Brownish hue dictates my eye, no colour hides their fear,
Flowers faded, dull and cold, now bleached by atmosphere
Creatures twisting under trees, huge monsters soaked with rage
Hidden deep below our earth, a frightening, bygone age
Their shepherd came, now long extinct, a huge primeval man
The three men filled with disbelief, just turned as one and ran.
