Endless Dream

Trevor Rabin is currently doing something he’s not done for more than three decades.

“I am working on a new solo album,” he explains. “Now, the difference between this one and Jacaranda, which I did in 2012, is I’m gonna have vocals on the tracks. Jacaranda was all instrumental, and the last time I did my own album with vocals was Can’t Look Away, which came out in 1989. So, it’s been a long gap.”

And if readers want to remind themselves of what Can’t Look Away sounded like, then it’s available again, as part of a 10-disc box set from Rabin called Changes. This concentrates on his solo career, and includes all four of his albums from Beginnings (released in 1977), through to Face To Face (’79), Wolf (’81) and Can’t Look Away. There’s also a live show from Boston in 1979, demos relating to the Yes album 90125 and two CDs of music from his extensive work on film soundtracks.

However, this isn’t a project that Rabin either instigated or even initially wanted.
