This recording features the musical highlights from the jaw-dropping Opening Ceremony of London 2012 Olympic Games. Evelyn’s immensely popular performance and musical contributions are featured on the fifteen minute track And I Will Kiss, which accompanied the Pandemonium section of the ceremony. The infectious, energetic drumming on this track depicts the industrial revolution. The beautiful Caliban’s Dream – a solemn song of hope – features Evelyn on the Glennie Aluphone accompanying haunting voices. Caliban’s Dream was performed as young athletes made their way to light the Olympic Cauldron.
