ALBUM INFO:

WARM DUST’S line-up featured Paul Carrack, one of the UK’s finest rock voices, on keyboards & vocals, and Terry Comer, who later teamed up in Ace and scored a massive hit with “How Long”.

As Warm Dust’s album title suggests, it is a concept album on the theme of war, and is subtitled “Neville Chamberlain, 30th September 1938”. On that historic date, Chamberlain (Britain’s PM) declared that he’d ‘returned from Germany with peace in our time’ in a speech detailing the Munich Agreement and the Anglo-German Declaration.

The Germans rendered those hopeful words as futile on the very next day, when they began occupation of the Sudetenland; Europe was plunged into WW2 less than a year later.

War, peace and man’s inhumanity to man were very strong themes in rock albums of this vintage. It’s an excellent but long-neglected slice of “prog-rock history”. In the passing decades, the album’s message is still sadly relevant to our troubled world and its universal themes ring very true.
