2016 release, the fifth album by Tony Patterson, best known as the vocalist with ReGenesis. Tony has also written countless pieces for television. Continuing on from the success of the album Northlands (released in 2014 with Brendan Eyre), Equations Of Meaning combines beautiful soundscapes with heartfelt, wistful songs dealing with such subjects as loss, longing and even a cynical observation of social media. The album features guest artists including Nick Magnus, Brendan Eyre, Andy Gray, Adrian Jones, Doug Melbourne and Fred Arlington and is a fine, melodic progressive album.
Tony Patterson and Brendan Eyre were both born in North East England, and both have a broad musical background. In 2012, they released an album Out Of An Ancient World, which was so well received it won them the Best Newcomer award at the 2012 Classic Rock Society Awards…
Esoteric Antenna is delighted to announce the release of The Divide, the wonderful new studio album by Tony Patterson & Doug Melbourne. The Divide is the result of a musical collaboration between singer and multi-instrumentalist Tony Patterson, and keyboardist Doug Melbourne. The musicians have worked together in the past - most notably in the UK’s best loved Genesis Tribute band ReGenesis. Doug has also contributed to some of Tony’s other projects including his solo album "Equations of Meaning" and the acclaimed "Northlands" album. However The Divide is their first collaboration as co-writers on a completely original project. The album is a collection of ten songs, which, while reflecting their many influences, stands alone as a highly original yet accessible album…
