The Story of Our Lives (2020 Remaster)

The Story of Our Lives (2000)

This is the 12th Elegant Simplicity album and undoubtedly one of the best releases of 2000. Featuring one large scale composition (divided into 12 chunks for easy location of favourite bits!), this conceptual piece is a real tour de force of musical styles. Featuring epic guitar and keyboard solos, Japanese influenced mellow bits and full-on symphonic extravagance, this album is not to be missed!
