History repeats itself. Haven’t we heard that one before? (Which actually proves that the statement is true.) It’s not only a frequently heard comment, it also happens to be the main theme of a new double album by Edward Reekers entitled ‘The Liberty Project’. So what is it? A rock opera, a musical, a concept album? A combo of all 3? Yes.

“I wanted to create a story within a story, so I introduced Thomas and Catherine, falling in love, splitting up and finding their way back together again,” explains Reeker. “With a society in turmoil around them where politicians, bankers and journalists, amongst others, comment on the situation they’re confronted with”. Reeker adds, “The recording process was an overwhelming experience for me. Having composed all the music and written all the lyrics for the project it really was a dream come true for me to hear it come to life with so many great musicians and singers giving me the benefit of their wonderful talent”.

A grand total of 17 tracks is the result of these efforts. And what immediately attracts attention is the diver-sity of the material. It ranges from ballads to heavy metal, popsongs, rock orientated powertracks, a genu-ine blues and almost classical instrumentals. So is it a rockopera? Yes. Is it a musical? Yes. Is it a concept album? Most definitely!
