1989 - JOHN WAITE SOLO - OUTSIDE & CHANGE OF MIND

„Invisible Man“ emerges.
A poetical touched, mystic song which was written by John and Jonathan Elias. It appears on his album Requiem For the Americas - Songs from the Lost World beside many other fabulous musicians like Toni Childs, Jon Anderson (Yes), Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran), Michael Bolton and Charlie & Martin Sheen (Really!)

...And John is looking for another record company and eventually gets contracted by Epic. But after he´d signed the contract in his head the thought matures founding a band again. In fact that Epic allocated him as a solo artist they´re quite a bit shocked about his confession.
„I didn´t want to be a solo artist anymore“, John says. „I was tired of having the only responsibility. At that time I was sure that I can´t make a better album as a solo artist than 'Rover´s Return'. I wanted to be in a band again, being part of a machine again. I didn´t want to carry all this weight all alone anymore. I have a lot of respect for anyone I work with, really! I like having authority and I know what I want, but I also do know, what a band can do. As a part of a band you think differently. You have to think different. And that´s exactly what I wanted.“
