Robert Reed has released a video to accompany an excert from part two of his forthcoming 'Sanctuary' album.

The record, co-produced by Tom Newman and mastered by Simon Heyworth who both famously worked on Tubular Bells, is set for release on on 11 August 2014.

Reed, who plays all of the instruments on the album, said: “I just had a blind confidence that I could play them all. I owned all the guitars, etc in my own studio but had to hire the larger percussion instruments, like timpani’s and tubular bells, so the lead percussionist of the Welsh National Orchestra turned up with a lorry full of the most expensive percussion.

"For two days he frowned as I made my way through playing these instruments, like a kid in a sweet shop. Whenever I struggled he continued to ask if I wanted him to play them. I replied that I couldn’t, as it would break the pledge of making the album by myself…. Everything is played by hand by myself, except for guest vocalists, Synergy Vocals.”
