It ends with the moving music depicting Judas Iscariots suicide and his obvious angst and regret. This piece leads one through the betrayal of Christ and to his ultimate crucifixion, portrayed by the popular hymn 'there is a green hill far away without a city wall'. The sheer power of the Church Organ and choral vocals make the hairs stand up on your neck. I defy anyone with a soul to listen to Judas Iscariot and not be moved. The six pieces of musical composition has everything, from the humour of The Breathalyser to the primeval gut wrenching emotion of Judas Iscariot. How does one describe such a seminal piece of music history? This album has been my all time favourite for many years and for many reasons. Postscript - I never saw her again, which was just as well as she would have been too noisy for me!! They all kindly obliged providing I bought them a drink of course!!! Finally this one particular very pretty girl virtually cleared the pub with her effort.and I never even touched her either!!! I said "You'll do" and dragged her off to the studio where she dutifully screamed once more and then went back to the pub. I went down to the local pub in Montreux and asked every girl in there to scream one by one. The scream at the end of Chamber of Horrors was real. Some excellent all round performances though. Perhaps it was a mistake to try for another such album. It was intended to be another 6 Wives but for me it never quite made it. The drums and bass were recorded after the keyboards and they did such an excellent job that I wanted to redo some of the keyboards again and change a few things I'd played.but there were no tracks left and no money either.Ī "nearly" album. The album never really turned out as I wanted it to except perhaps for the Judas Iscariot track. This was always a loosely based concept album that was recorded in Switzerland with Alan White on drums and Chris Squire on bass.
