The New album by The Tangent is called LE SACRE DU TRAVAIL which means "The Rite Of Work" It is described in one of its two subtitles as "Cinq Tableaux de la Vie Contemporaine" (or "Five Pictures of Contemporary Life"), and in the other subtitle as "An Electric Sinfonia by Andy Tillison"

The album contains just this one piece of work (although some early editions will have 3 bonus tracks). The piece is made up of five movements each of which represents a part of the working day.

"The idea of the album" says Tillison "is to write something grandiose and ambitious that can include many feelings of many people about something they all experience. It's a symphony for the common person, the doctor, teacher, shop assistant, lorry driver, policeman and office worker and how the ritual of daily life in the bulk of the West (and now more so in all developed countries) has often alienated the individual. In this sense there's more than a couple of parallels with The Moody Blues Days of Future Passed album from 1967. However Stravinsky's "Rite Of Spring" was its inspiration both musically and lyrically, although his piece does not have lyrics, it represented contemporary life in earlier times - looking at the rituals of rural life and labour. Our album is an attempt to create a similar observation of the times we live in now."
