This new version of the album is performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with the London Contemporary Voices Choir, conducted by three-time British Composer Of The Year, Simon Dobson, and emceed by award-winning British actor Brian Blessed (Flash Gordon, The Black Adder).
The recording is amazing but the packaging is a real let down with little or no information on who is playing on the album. The other negative for me is Brian Blessed, I normally love Brian in anything he does but he goes a bit over the top here for me and the Caveman part of the album just seems too long and distracting.
