Another Think Coming is the fifth album from Colin Towns’ Mask Orchestra - an instrumental album of rhythmically infectious but forward-looking jazz, the power and range of which is unique

Utilising the full expanse of his musical resources Colin has delivered eight stunning new originals, plus an electrifying arrangement of John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s I Am the Walrus. The album also includes an unconventional reading of Reverie by French composer Claude Debussy

Speaking about the album, Colin said: 'The amazing playing and commitment the musicians bring to this band creates an incredible atmosphere and drive. I am proud of what they have done and I am excited about what we have achieved.'
