Trippa - Sorry / Speechless
Released in October 2007 and first available at the Summers' End Progressive Rock Festival is the tremendous seventeen track collection on Trippa's 'debut' album Sorry (Tigermoth Records. These songs, originally recorded in the late 1990s have long been awaited by those following the artists. Rob Reed and Christina Booth wrote and performed the tracks prior to their most recent collaboration in Magenta, but the material is timeless, highly accessible female fronted rock. Trippa's line-up is rounded out by Ryan Ashton (drums) and Rhiannon Stundon (backing vocals).
Listeners will of course hear reworked versions of the four tracks on the 1999 Trippa EP and these indeed do sound great. But what enthusiasts are likely to be most delighted with are the rare tracks that have been locked up for almost ten years and are now only seeing the light of day.
Christina's vocal clarity and tremendous power heard across a wide range of Magenta's tracks is already evident in the classic rock music of the 1990's Trippa. Listen to her crystalline vocals soar above the keyboards in "Alone." In addition to the stunning track "Speechless" now frequently performed by the Magenta lineup, and the everso Trippa classic rock styled "Drowning," a variety of straight rock, electronica, funk and John Barryesque Bond Theme music graces the album.
