Thank you Francis for your music - will always be very special to me.
Oh wow! I wish I'd had this when i collected vinyl in the late 1980s. I love the Long Good Friday theme he scored but only just found this. I love it. Lush analogue sounds and gripping hooks.
I'm not surprised to see Francis Monkman recording library music after Curved Air and right around the time Sky was starting. It seems on this album he heard Vangelis' "Pulstar" from Albedo 0.39 since several songs here reminds me of that song complete with similar pulsing synths.

the drawing on the cover is exactly what I imagine when listening !
I feel like I'm embarking on an adventure across space
Energism. I cant stop saying it. Energism. Energism Energism.
Sir, this is an Arby's.
great album
Here's what I've heard about "The Ice Bridge" which is on the new Yes album: Geoff Downes thought he recorded "Dawn of an Era" and then he discovered he didn't. It happened he has an old tape full of recordings of not just his material but that of Francis Monkman, including "Dawn of an Era". Oops! Luckily Geoff has now given Francis credit on "The Ice Bridge". I also think being nearly 70 it would be difficult for Geoff to remember everything he's ever recorded but even he should know his own playing would differ from Francis.
I knew Francis. I brought up this subject with him and he replied that it was 'very optimistic' of Geoff to believe that he'd written and recorded this! The diplomatic answer! RIP Francis.
Classic! Thanks for uploading.
Sensacional !!

Beautful !!

Thanks for all of the uploads! You've gotten me into another genre of music.
The Achievements of Man was the theme to Think Again hosted by Johnny Ball and an Open University science programme.
💯👍
Yes ripped Monkman, Monkman ripped Vangelis. Now Vangelis needs to rip Yes and all will be well.
In all music today there are *tons* of rip-offs. I mean there are countless of artists today who make covers of old hits and their fans are none-the-wiser to it being a COVER. If they learn it's a cover and hear the original song they almost always say:"I prefer the cover" Well, no wonder. They heard it first and the original song will become the "cover" to their mind. As for rip-off's. Rock music is full of it. Most famous guitar riffs are eerily similar to earlier ones.
Where does one draw the line between being influenced by and ripping off? Are note-for-note covers *not* rip-off's? Does the covering artists always tell their (ignorant) fans:"Kudos to the original artist" ?? Elvis Presley made his entire career from covering the songs of other (better) musicians. His late stage performances were almost exclusively covers. The "king" of rock indeed...
My point is: In music it's really hard to tell who was first and who was influenced by who and who "ripped-off" who. I also firmly believe that like any other invention which happened simultaneously (many inventors were working on the lightbulb at the same time) in many different places, music will continue to develop in parallells and with different musicians being unaware of each other.
That circular ripped off thing of yours is funny. All will be well.
It was a library album. In all probability the library company, Bruton, asked Francis for something that 'sounded like' Vangelis.
that slap bass man...was Bootsy Collins playing on this album? 😎
Mo Foster I believe.
9:47 is a total rip of Pulstar by Vangelis
"Think Again"
@Alex Taylor Vangelis's "Pulstar" predates Monkman's "Achievements of Man" by at least two years (Vangelis "Albedo 0.39" was release in 1976).
The thing to remember here is that everything on the Bruton label was library music. A lot of library music was composed to a remit by certain producers who would say "I want something that sounds like ...". My strong suspicion in this case is that someone had asked Monkman that they wanted something that sounded like this Vangelis track called "Pulstar". Monkman obliged with "Achievements of Man" and "Perpetual Motion" (both of which have the same vibe as "Pulstar"). This was how composers like Monkman and many others like him were able to make a living from their music where fate had denied them the level of fame afforded the big name artists (that's just a generalisation by the way, nothing against Vangelis, I absolutely love his music).
@@Synthnerd11 So, it's okay for Monkman to steal from Vangelis?
What comes around goes around. Now Yes are ripping off this. Nothing is sacred anymore.
@@mikereiss4216 If Geoff wrote it, how is it a ripoff? Also, if Vangelis recorded the theme first, didn't Francis rip it off too?
Did Monkman write all these songs? Because "Achievements of Man" sounds almost exactly like Vangelis' "Pulster."
Yep, Rip Off !!

Which advert was this used on, fellow UK people?
Never realised it was one of FM's until I landed here.

Some very obvious VANGELIS "plagiarism' from 6.00 to 13.00!
