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? Do you want lush orchestral ballads and complex epics? You got the lot on this magnificent…

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…

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…

The Nature of Change (1996)
The eighth album and the first to appear on CD! An album of 2 halves – 6 vocal tracks and one instrumental. Basically, it was an attempt at trying to please everybody – the fans of the instrumental songs and fans of vocal-based songs. The songs are very poppy, in…

Natural Instinct (1995)
This is a collection of short instrumental tracks that started life as guitar duets – I still have the original cassette demos. All the songs were recorded over a two-week period in July / August of 1994 and were recorded and mixed using a Fostex R-8 Reel to Reel recorder…

Endless Longing (1994)
Like Inside The Hurting, another guitar free album. This is a concept work, mainly based around piano and synth. No guitar (except for the MIDI Guitar) and it ends with the completely drum-free title track, edited from 22 mins to 11.54. If I still had the 22-minute version, it would have…

Crying to the Future (1994)
Crying to the Future was our 5th album release and second or third of 1994. It was originally released on cassette and reprinted three times, each with a different cover! All the various images are included as bonus .pdf with the Bandcamp edition. Many years later, in 1999, it was…

Inside the Hurting (1994)
Welcome to our 4th album Inside the Hurting. I will say right now that this will polarize! This is quite an oddity in the discography for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it is one of only 2 albums where everything is entirely digital: there are no acoustic instruments at all.…

Blinded by Time (1993)
Blinded by Time was our third album, featuring songs that were written and recorded between March and April 1993. Again, all songs were recorded to a Tascam Porta-One machine. The significant difference with this release, however, is that all the sounds – except for acoustic and electric guitars – all…
