Exiled is a remarkable 1980 space themed concept album crafted by songwriters Bob Mitchell and Steve Coe, blending melodic rock, progressive textures, and a richly cinematic sci fi narrative.
Recorded with an impressive lineup of renowned British musicians, the album features guest performances from Francis Rossi (Status Quo), Dan McCafferty (Nazareth), and Terry Cassidy, accompanied by backing vocals from Hudson Ford -- the partnership of Richard Hudson and John Ford, both formerly of Strawbs.
Keyboardist Chris Parren adds further depth to the album's sound, while additional vocal contributions from Colin Blunstone (The Zombies) and Lesley Duncan.
Originally released in 1980, Exiled stands today as an overlooked gem of British progressive rock: a meticulously produced studio project that combines strong songwriting with a stellar supporting cast drawn from some of the UK's most respected musicians of the era.
