Deccan Traps - Same

Neil Fairclough, Lois Fairclough, John Dagnall, Neil Edwards, Andy Treacey and Johnny Heyes met at Manchester Music College in early 1990s. In addition to becoming lifelong friends, they have worked together on and off ever since. The Deccan Traps project began when Neil F, Lois and John started writing songs together over a decade ago. Neil had been the touring bass player for Queen + Adam Lambert since 2011, a position he still occupies today. The album also includes songs, Spellbound, Until You Love Me, Are You Ready To Rock, Beautiful and Dream of a Thousand Nights. Dream of a Thousand Nights is the centrepiece of the album which shows that when two opposing sides will not yield, when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, chaos ensues. The song features an epic guitar fanfare and an introspective, bluesy guitar solo played by none other than Queen legend, Brian May. Brian also contributes his voice to beautifully narrate one of the most iconic passages from cosmologist Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot speech at the closing of the song. TDT were delighted to have the words authorised by Ann Druyan, Carl Sagan’s wife and cosmological partner.
