  • The Story of Our Lives (2000)

    This is the 12th Elegant Simplicity album and undoubtedly one of the best releases of 2000. Featuring one large scale composition (divided into 12 chunks for easy location of favourite bits!), this conceptual piece is a real tour de force of musical styles. Featuring epic guitar and keyboard solos, Japanese influenced mellow bits and full-on…

  • Computer Shopper: Osmosis 11 (2000)

    Computer Shopper is a UK based monthly magazine all about, er, computers! Each month, they feature an album’s worth of music in MP3 format from a varied collection of artists. In Issue 147, you will find two tracks from the Elegant Simplicity album Moments Of Clarity. The tracks are ‘Afraid To Wake’ and ‘A Cradle…

  • BURBS Too (1999)

    BURBS (British Underground Rock Bands) are an organisation dedicated to getting exposure to underground British/UK bands.

  • Moments of Clarity (1999)

    Album number 11 and, without a doubt, the best one yet! Featuring 5 songs and 2 instrumentals, this is sure to please every fan of quality rock music. You want heavy rocking Hammond thrashing?

  • Purity and Despair (1998)

    This is the 10th Elegant Simplicity album and the first all-instrumental release since ‘Natural Instinct’. Initial quantities were available as a limited edition full-colour picture disc. Fantastic artwork throughout the 8-page booklet, which is in full colour. Each page features a collection of themed images which represent the mood of the relevant song. From the…

  • Sonic Bilby: Sampler Tape 1 (1997)

    Sonic Bilby was an Australian based Prog/Space-Rock/Ambient/Psychedelia specialist. The cassette was available for $A5 (five Australian Dollars), plus postage and makes a cracking album in its own right. Elegant Simplicity featured on Side A, Track 4 with the album version of Whenever I Close My Eyes, taken from Reversal of Time. Release Info Sonic Bilby…

  • Changing Views (1997)

    This cassette only release featured tracks originally destined for the albums ‘The Nature Of Change’ and ‘Reversal Of Time’, but for which there was no room. Came complete with a separate lyric sheet and is now quite the collector’s item. Given away (exclusively) to those on the Elegant Simplicity mailing list. Release Info Elegant Music…

  • Reversal of Time (1997)

    This was our 9th album and second to be released on CD, way back in 1997. Like the previous few albums it was recorded onto multi-track reel-to-reel tape. I only had 8 tracks to play with (the mind boggles!), so there was a considerable amount of overdubbing and bouncing to stereo pairs involved! Not to…

  • Down Addingford: Watching the Sky (1997)

    This album was recorded at Elegant Simplicity’s Propinquity Studios between February and April 1997. All songs were composed, arranged and performed by Andrew Cocker, who also designed the sleeve. The album features 11 songs and is rather fantastic. For various reasons, the album remains unreleased. Co-produced and engineered by Steven McCabe Release Info Proximity Records…
