Too Many Goodbyes (2007)
Elegant Simplicity are back with their first vocal album since the critical and commercial success of the legendary Architect of Light (2002) album. Once again featuring Ken Senior on vocals and band regular Christoper Knight…
Nowhere Left to Turn (2006)
Clocking in at 54 minutes and just 4 tracks, this is the best album we have ever made: it’s the most in yer face, guitar crunching, hammond rocking album yet! Track 1, In Passing (6.34)…
Studies in Heartbreak (2005)
Beautiful music, great guitar and keyboards and a wonderfully epic sound combine to bring you a musical concoction to savour: outrageous time signatures, shifting tempos, country, jazz, progressive rock, funk and goodness knows what else!…
Anhedonia (2004)
After a two year wait – the longest gap between ES albums ever – the new studio album is finally upon us! As you can guess by the song titles, this is another conceptual piece.…
Architect of Light (2002)
Based on the adventures of a collective determined to escape a society enslaved for aeons by technology and the Architect of Light, the album follows their progress towards redemption and, finally, freedom. This 70 minute…
Palindrome (2001)
Album number 13, and what an absolute stormer! Title track sounds like a cross between Nirvana and Pink Floyd, by way of Camel! Ken Senior once again excels on the vocals with Christopher Knight back…
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…
Moments of Clarity (1999)
Album number 11 and, without a doubt, the best one yet! Featuring 5 songs and 2 instrumentals, this is sure to please every fan of quality rock music. You want heavy rocking Hammond thrashing? Do…
Purity and Despair (1998)
This is the 10th Elegant Simplicity album and the first all-instrumental release since ‘Natural Instinct’. Initial quantities were available as a limited edition full-colour picture disc. Fantastic artwork throughout the 8-page booklet, which is in…
Reversal of Time (1997)
This was our 9th album and second to be released on CD, way back in 1997. Like the previous few albums it was recorded onto multi-track reel-to-reel tape. I only had 8 tracks to play…
The Nature of Change (1996)
The eighth album and the first to appear on CD! An album of 2 halves – 6 vocal tracks and one instrumental. Basically, it was an attempt at trying to please everybody – the fans…
Natural Instinct (1995)
This is a collection of short instrumental tracks that started life as guitar duets – I still have the original cassette demos. All the songs were recorded over a two-week period in July / August…
Endless Longing (1994)
Like Inside The Hurting, another guitar free album. This is a concept work, mainly based around piano and synth. No guitar (except for the MIDI Guitar) and it ends with the completely drum-free title track, edited…
Crying to the Future (1994)
Crying to the Future was our 5th album release and second or third of 1994. It was originally released on cassette and reprinted three times, each with a different cover! All the various images are…
Inside the Hurting (1994)
Welcome to our 4th album Inside the Hurting. I will say right now that this will polarize! This is quite an oddity in the discography for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it is one of…
Blinded by Time (1993)
Blinded by Time was our third album, featuring songs that were written and recorded between March and April 1993. Again, all songs were recorded to a Tascam Porta-One machine. The significant difference with this release,…
Nocturnal Implications (1992)
This is the second album and features 6 songs recorded around September 1992. As all the songs were recorded at the same time, with the same instruments, the sound palette is a bit more consistent…
Improper Advances (1992)
This was the first Elegant Simplicity album. It is made up of songs recorded between 1990 and 1992 using all kinds of instruments and devices. Recorded on 4 track cassette, it is very lo-fi and…
Aquatorium (2004)
AQUATORIUM is 78 minutes of demos/unreleased/new and seriously rare tracks from the Elegant Simplicity archives. The album contains a mixture of songs and instrumentals, the bulk of it available on CD for the first time…
