Lisa Gerrard and Jules Maxwell release the Deluxe Edition of their critically-acclaimed ‘Burn’ album on 18th November 2022 – Atlantic Curve

James Chapman recalls “I felt a real sense of freedom and enjoyment while working with Jules and Lisa, and that feeling comes across in the sound of the songs. An otherworldly, expansive sense of wonder where anything is possible.”

Jules added, “Sifting through Lisa’s vocal performances felt like panning for gold. That was the starting point for sure. There were some big nuggets in there but also loads of little sparkles and very quickly the music we were creating became curiously dramatic. Cinematic. It also seemed to transcend eras. To me it feels a bit like early Vangelis but it also has a distinct Celtic influence somewhere below the surface. The music is not afraid to be courageous. There are many audacious elements and moments within each piece”

The ‘Burn’ Deluxe Edition consists of the seven original tracks from the album, plus Jules Maxwell’s original 2015 demos.

Jules Maxwell reflects, “It took BURN nearly six years to be finally released, and over time I pretty much forgot about my original demos from 2015. I just rejoiced in the fact that JAMES CHAPMAN had utterly transformed the songs with his sonic and arrangement choices. But when I heard the demos again I realised that what he has done brilliantly is take our ideas and remix them in glorious widescreen whilst maintaining the energy of the original ideas in the final versions. I think, as a collection, this new expanded edition gives listeners a fascinating insight into our creative process.
