seed
SEED is the third album from Freedom To Glide and completes their anti-war trilogy which began in 2013 with RAIN followed by FALL in 2016. With SEED Freedom To Glide have brought together every aspect of their unique sound to produce a very focused and personal concept album based around one man’s experience of 1918 – the final year of World War 1.
Musically, Freedom To Glide take you on a cinematic journey through their now familiar sonic landscape of layered synths, evocative acoustic guitar, atmospheric piano and soaring guitar solos.

Fall
FALL is the second in the trilogy of war themed albums from f2g. With World War 1 as the backdrop the album also covers the events that follow, from WW2 up to present day. A century of war.
“Stunning album. Thought the previous ones were okay, but this is a huge step up in song-writing, musicianship and vocals. Fantastic!”

Rain
Soon after ‘Hypnotized’, Pete sent Andy a keyboard intro with all sorts of military radio chatter and sound effects and the simple statement – ‘it’s a song about WW1 soldiers falling like rain on the battlefield, fancy a crack at this one too?’ The reply came back ‘Roger that…’
Rain was born!
During April both Andy and Pete worked on ‘Rain’ but that wasn’t the only track that was being written. Andy wrote demo’s for ‘Wind’ and an instrumental track that would later become ‘Price of Freedom’’. This was getting serious.

Sick to death
Sick To Death is our new 4 track concept EP tackling the subject of ‘shell shock’ and it’s consequences during WW1.
There’s a subtle but conscious shift in musical style yet still very much the Freedom To Glide our fans have come to know. Lyrically, the songs are as poetic and image evoking as ever. It’s a story that we felt had to be met head on and with the respect and sensitivity it deserves.
With ‘Sick To Death’ EP we continue our theme of 100 years of war and conflict and it is released ahead of our next album in 2015.

The Wait
This is a gapless EP with alternative mixes of three tracks from our forthcoming debut album RAIN.
Includes unlimited streaming of RAIN EP via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
“Announcing their presence with the RAIN EP, Freedom To Glide’s intentions are evident in the fact that it’s three tracks are best experienced as a single passage of music. A concept piece about World War 1 it sounds like the best of mid/late career Pink Floyd.”

"Seed is magnificent. It is devastating in the range of its emotional sweep, humbling in the profundity of the insights it enables and majestic in the way it flawlessly presents a holistic musical experience. This is, without doubt, a contender for album of the decade and should be mandatory listening for anyone who is grappling to understand what it is human beings are capable of doing to each other."
Rob Fisher
"There's elements of Floyd's Wish You Were Here and The Division Bell in their sound, they also point to Porcupine Tree as another inspiration and there's no denying that Richard Barbieri's keyboard style looms large. At their most sparse, Freedom To Glide also evoke the more soundscape-heavy fare of Barbieri's Rain Tree Crow side project."
Prog Magazine - May 2012
"In terms of clarity and depth and a level of musicianship that so very few attain, ‘Rain’ is a near perfect album that should be compulsory listening for progressive fans. A modern classic, Freedom to glide have created a true masterpiece that mingles beauty with sadness over its 63 gorgeous minutes."
Phil Stiles
"Sounds Like the best bits of mid-late career Pink Floyd"
Prog Magazine - May 2012
"I hope you will continue releasing such well-written, well played, and well-thought-out music. Not only is the musicianship and production excellent, your lyrics are literature in their own right. As a teacher of English for many years I often despaired at the poor quality of some bands' lyrics, but yours could be used in class as an example of well written imagery. They paint powerful pictures, and tell a story, which makes the songs powerful and memorable."
Dave Gordons
"Rain, is a superb album which has music which effortlessly flows throughout the 63 minutes, with swathes of keyboards, stunning lead guitar work, majestic piano passages, catchy acoustic guitar work and that crystal clear powerful voice. Above all, the concept dealing with the futility of war is dealt with sympathetically throughout and it must be one of the most emotionally tinged albums I have heard.... Go out and buy this album, listen to it completely and marvel at what Freedom To Glide have produced."
Jim ‘The Ancient One’ Lawson / Progzilla Radio
"Thanks guys. This album is gorgeous and confirms everything I love about prog, diversity, lyrical, musicianship and I love it. I simply have not listened to an album as many times in so short a time since the 70’s."
