Post Description

This album probably has some of the best Janus tracks on it, but is not really "immediate". From 1993 to present day, pieces from this album crop up as background music on TV stations throughout Europe, which given the volume of library music that is available, are quite a compliment to the atmosphere generated on this album. The majority of the tracks were instrumental, and half the CD was given over to a tale penned by Orr, for which the music was meant to be the story.

"Journey" sold hardly at all, but the people who liked it, REALLY liked it. It looked like Orr had blown it by trying to be too original. The music industry hates original.

Where are they now?
From the original band, Keith Bonthrone is in Glossop, England, still playing drums, with "Cold Flame" and the "Blues Busters". Mick Peberdy is no longer in music, but works in Liverpool. As does Derek Hyett. Bruno Lord is a member of "Physical Graffiti" a succesful Led Zeppelin tribute band, working in Holland and Germany, Roy Yates has led a very eventful life, working in London as a systems programmer, but still playing guitar for his own pleasure, and occasional school concert- to a standard that truly deserved a bigger audience. 

Of the subsequent collaborators:

Dave Harrold is part of "Physical Graffiti"; Doug Boyes has founded his own recording studio in Wilmslow, Cheshire. Paul May has spent the last few years as a devoted Christian, helping to develop Christian Rock music, and the musicians performing it

Sandy Bartai has loaned some of his immense talent back to the classical world. and performs nationally with the Halle Orchestra.  

As well as forming the core of Janus, Paul Phoenix is very active with the Kings Singers. Natalie Brown is working solo and with a trio, and Dean Houston works throughout the UK as a solo artist. 


Ik mocht Colin Orr (de oprichter) ooit eens ontmoeten , toen hij in Nederland was om de muzikale omlijsting van een aantal KLM spotjes te verzorgen. Hij heeft een schapenfarm in Engeland, ja ach, waarom ook niet..... Muziek is dus een hobby. En wat voor één.
Paul Phoenix, de zanger op dit album, is klassiek geschoold (nu bij Kings Singers, en dat geeft dit album eigenlijk de diepgang. Prachtige stem, kippenvel eigenlijk, luister naar Credo en het geweldige Remember Me, met dichtslaande kerkdeuren en een opzwepend orgel (althans uit de synth, natuurlijk) In een woord geweldig. Zowel de Prog fans als de meer klassiek georienteerde luisteraar zal dit echt kunnen waarderen.
