Previously Unreleased Space Opera Songs Get Released
. Much to the delight of Space Opera fans worldwide, ItsAboutMusic.com has released on CD 'Safe At Home'; 9 rare unreleased recordings from the early '70s, around the time the band was recording their first album. Also included in this definitive Space Opera collectors item are 6 unreleased gems from 1975, 1977 and 1978 as well as liner notes from founding band member David Bullock. "Space Opera," an album produced by the band at Manta Sound in Toronto, was released in 1973 by Epic Records. Rock critic and author Ritchie York called the album "incredibly outstanding, deliriously brilliant." The group lived and worked in New York, Canada and Texas during the 1970s and '80s, often augmenting their live sound with symphonic instruments. Over the years the musicians disbanded and regrouped as they saw fit. In 1997 Space Opera played a 'reunion' concert at the magnificent Caravan of Dreams in Fort Worth. New and old songs were woven together in a suite-like concert that music writer Dave Ferman of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram found "...musically stunning. Moving from mood to mood and using subtle shadings of 12-string guitars, oboe and accordion...Space Opera lived up to its legend and pointed the way to a fresh new start." Today, Space Opera continues to labor in the vineyard of obscurity, creating music that is uniquely its own for the entertainment of a small but devoted audience.
