The Heavy One 2004
One of two - The Wierd One will follow in due course.
While Jez Hildred was going slightly goth cosmic prog, James Cooke was going slightly goth orchestral metal.
It was a crazy time for us all. I'm willing to bet this compilation happened after I banged on at length about the awesomeness of Evanescence and Lacuna Coil at one of Andy and Sue Hobson's wonderful barbecue events.
You'll notice he's featuring a lot of content from the same albums without actually copying the whole album. In our student house (1985-87) James used to be infamous for buying what was then a new record, playing it non-stop for a month then getting fed up with it and never playing it again.
Perhaps including half albums on compilations was some kind of internal compensator that he developed to manage album length obsessional behaviour.
You'll notice that unlike Adrian and myself, James and Jez never ever run out of inlay card space to write tracks, probably because all their tracks are 20 mins long.
I wonder if he's become a massive Hans Zimmer fan like myself
