Curated and annotated by Tim Bowness, this s the first official compilation of legendary Warringtonian Prog Rockers MOONSHOT since 1979’s ‘Shot Hits’!!!

From the Crimson-esque grandeur of: ‘The Sweetest Bitter Pill’ to the pastoral beauty of: ‘Before That Before’, via the warped creativity of: ‘Lost In The Ghost Light’ and engaging pop of: ‘Stupid Things That Mean The World’, the album ably demonstrates that while MOONSHOT may not have reached the commercial heights of celebrated peers such as GENESIS, PINK FLOYD, or YES, they were arguably one of the best of the chasing pack and fully deserve to be named alongside the likes of GENTLE GIANT, CAMEL, GREENSLADE, The Yorkshire Parkin Experiment, PFM, Prawn, ANGE and others.

‘Worlds Of Yesterday’ is a fine testament to a fine band … that never actually was!!!

Intrigued? … Well, just in case you haven’t yet cottoned-on to the joke yet … MOOSHOT are a spoof band - a product of one Tim Bowness’s imagination! Bowness is an English singer and songwriter primarily known for his work as part of the band: NO-MAN, a long-term project formed in 1987 with PORCUPINE TREE's Steven Wilson. As well as associations with many other acts including: HENRY FOOL and MEMORIES OF MACHINES, Tim has had a string of successful solo projects.
I can however reveal that the “real” players on this album are indeed very talented members of an extremely impressive UK based GENESIS tribute band called MAMA who, working under the direction of the album’s curator, has realized the product of this fantasy – a fictitious band that has a sound and feel in the vein of mid-period GENESIS and a few others besides! ‘Worlds Of Yesterday’ is not only a pastiche, but also a kind of off-shoot of Tim Bowness’s 2017 album: ‘Lost In The Ghost Light’, and the finished work is actually pretty impressive!

‘Worlds Of Yesterday’ is also available as a 180gm Vinyl LP – Stock # 2202159

‘Worlds Of Yesterday’ was released on 17th January 2020.
