Envy of None are Alex Lifeson of Rush, Andy Curran of Coney Hatch, studio avatar Alfio Annibalini and vocalist Maiah Wynne. Their amazing, chart-busting new album is out now. So, who does what? How did John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers lead them to getting involved with Kscope? And will there be an Envy of None 2? Alex, Andy, Alf and Maiah answer all, in their own words, herein.

In Kscope 143 we hear from Thorsten Quaeschning and Paul Frick of Tangerine Dream, the new LP Raum is out now; once again featuring contributions from their late founder Edgar Froese, so – how does that work? As the new boy, what does Paul bring to the tisch? Paul & Thorsten explain. PLUS an EXCLUSIVE play of a track from Envy of None (a new band featuring Alex Lifeson from Rush on guitar) off of their forthcoming debut LP... AND The Pineapple Thief news, live tracks from Gazpacho and Gong; Giancarlo Erra & Tim Bowness breathe new life into the classic Memories of Machines project… ALSO an emotional re-working of a track from one of Sir Elton John’s fave LPs, courtesy of said album’s composer/producer/vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Catherine Anne Davies, AKA The Anchoress…
