Too Many Gods was recorded and produced at Yellow Fish studios in Sussex, with long-term copilot Ian Caple. All songs were written by Greg Hart, or co-written by Greg Hart and Mick Wilson, who also features on backing vocal and guest lead vocals, alongside Paul Manzi, creating a spectacular result… Also, for the album’s centerpiece, the band recruited legendary producer and orchestral genius Mike Moran, famous for many musical contributions including Freddie Mercury’s “Barcelona”. Mike arranged and scored an 80 piece orchestrafor the seven minute epic “The Greatest Story Never Told”.
With soaring skyscraper vocal harmonies, hook laden choruses, drenched in guitars, vintage synthesizers and orchestrations, the Cats In Space pull no punches in delivering their symphonic power pop rock and hide no influences along the way. As the band say, this album is “All killer, no kitty litter!”
