The Promise
This is Mike Pinder's first solo album. Originally released in the '70s during the band's hiatus between the albums "Seventh Sojourn" and "Octave," Pinder eventually regained the rights and released it on his own label. Not mentioned on the disc are the two bonus tracks. Track 10 is a remake of 'One Step Into the Light' originally from the 'Octave' album. Track 11 is 'Island to Island', an unreleased track from the 80's.  Also not listed is track 6, an instrumental titled 'Air.'  Mike Pinder composed all songs and plays piano, Arp Synthesizers, guitar and, of course, MELLOTRON!
