Thunder & Consolation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thunder & Consolation is the 4th studio album of British rock band New Model Army. It was released in 1989 and re-released in 2005 as a limited edition remastered 2-CD-set. The album stands as a landmark in the New Model Army-catalogue, being their most successful album to date. It also sees the band gaining new musical grounds as they adopt a more folky sound with the assistance of violinist Ed Alleyne-Johnson. It was produced by Tom Dowd and the band, and also featured the works of guitarist Chris McLaughlin.

Its title was taken from 17th-century British Quaker, Edward Burroughs, whose collected works, which was posthumously released in 1663, was entitled The Memorable Works of a Son of Thunder and Consolation.
