Mendip Rock is the new EP by Cary Grace, recorded in and inspired by the breathtaking beauty of the Mendip Hills of England earlier this year with the Cary Grace Band. The EP consists of four original songs (“Amber” is by Andy Budge and Cary Grace; the other songs are by Cary Grace), and a cover of “2000 Light Years From Home” (Jagger/Richards). Its mellotron-drenched original incarnation, sprinkled liberally with backwards piano, appeared on the 1967 Rolling Stones album Their Satanic Majesties Request. It is reinvented here with a very different sound and different arrangement, co-produced by Graham Hinton.
UK and Europe residents can buy it now from iTunes, and it will be released later on CD worldwide. If you would like to receive an email when Mendip Rock is available on CD, please fill out this form. Your email address will not be shared with anyone else.
1. Amber
Life as stasis.

Like rare glimpses into another world, the most precious things of beauty are often also the most fleeting.
One of the great injustices in the world is that the apathetic masses will always outnumber those with an original thought.
To live every day as if it is the last surely must be the way to live life to its fullest. Paradoxically, we must put death out of our minds to live life fully, because to devote even a moment to a thought of death is to give up that much of our lives to it. We all have our own individual variations on this deception.
Nowhere is more lonely than space.
