Британская прогрессив-рок-группа The Tangent, основанная в 2002 году клавишником и вокалистом Энди Тиллисоном (Andy Tillison), возвращается после двухлетнего перерыва с новым материалом, но все с тем же неизменным стилем, который позволил группе завоевать большое количество поклонников не только в Европе, но и в Америке, где они регулярно выступают с концертами. Обложка альбома создана знаменитым иллюстратором компании DC Comics Марком Бакингемом. Помимо уже известных участников коллектива - Andy Tillison, Jonas Reingold (Karmakanic), Luke Machin (Maschine), Theo Travis (коллаборации с Porcupine Tree и Дэвидом Гилмором), в записи альбом приняла участие новый член коллектива Мари-Ева де Готье (Maschine).<br />

History.<br />
<br />
Formation 2002.<br />
Originally formed by keyboardists Andy Tillison and Sam Baine of Parallel or 90 Degrees and The Flower Kings' guitarist Roine Stolt, bassist Jonas Reingold, and drummer Zoltan Csörsz. The septet was completed by renowned saxophonist David Jackson of Van der Graaf Generator and multi-instrumentalist Guy Manning. The band was scheduled only to be a "one-off" project but has produced ten official studio albums and a number of live albums since.<br />
The Tangent has had numerous changes in personnel resulting in Tillison being the only member to have been on all the recordings.<br />
<br />
Live performances.<br />
Since 2003 the band in its various forms has played concerts and festivals in the US, UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden and France. Members of the band also occasionally appear as special guests on stage with other artists. On 13 February 2012 guitarist Luke Machin joined Pain of Salvation on stage at The Garage in London, England, playing on the song Kingdom of Loss.<br />
<br />
Cover art.<br />
The band had much of their cover art done by artist Ed Unitsky, who worked closely with the band when designing their album artwork. Ed has completed five album covers for The Tangent.<br />
Cover artwork for the album Not as Good as the Book (2008) was created by French artist Antoine Ettori, for Down and Out in Paris and London (2009) by mbl graphics.<br />
