Description
Specially priced bundle of the new Infinity CD and the the Wonder-Works vinyl.
INFINITY was produced, arranged and mixed by Gaspard Murphy, all songs (except “Count My Blessings” co-written by Olivier Durand) written by me in a surprising flurry of creative activity last year. The album was recorded nearby at Murmure studio in Paris with contributions by my musical partner for 29 years virtuoso guitarist Olivier Durand, violionist Melissa Cox and percussionist Alan Fatras with double-bassist Gerard McFadden on one track. Keyboards, electric bass, drum programming and additional instrumentation were all handled by Gaspard Murphy and Elliott.
Elliott says: “Where do you go after a 50 year career in music and as many albums? I suppose INFINITY is the answer and thus the title of my 52nd (I think) album which will be released as a limited edition CD on March 7 just in time for my tour of France/Belgium/Spain and Italy (via Cruise ship). It’s my first studio album of original songs since Wonder (2023) and in these very recent family of songs I tried to peer into the future while being grounded in the icons of my youth all wrapped in a diverse genre defying musicality. Hopefully, it’s a personal collection that will appeal to the universal musical collective consciousness. That’s been my modus-operandi since my debut album Aquashow (1973).”

Wonder-Works is a kind of “best of” vinyl LP from the last two years and includes tracks from Elliott’s last studio album Wonder as well as the EP Wonder-Full and the single “Old-Timer,” a popular streaming-only release. All of these tracks have been remastered especially for vinyl, with a new package designed by Elliott’s long-time graphic artist Chloe and a portrait on the cover by acclaimed French photographer Muriel Delepont.
