The Tangent is a British progressive rock group formed in 2002, led by keyboardist and singer Andy Tillison. The band was formed in 2002 by Parallel or 90 Degrees keyboardists Andy Tillison and Sam Baine, and multi‑instrumentalist Guy Manning; The Flower Kings’ guitarist Roine Stolt, bassist Jonas Reingold, and drummer Zoltan Csörsz; plus saxophonist David Jackson of Van der Graaf Generator. The band was originally intended as a “one‑off” side project but has since produced 13 studio albums and a number of live albums. The Tangent has had numerous changes in personnel, resulting in Tillison being the only member to have appeared on all recordings. Since 2003 the band, in its various line‑ups, has played concerts and festivals in the US, UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden and France. Members of the band also occasionally appear as special guests on stage with other artists. On 13 February 2012 guitarist Luke Machin joined Pain of Salvation on stage at The Garage in London, England, performing on the song Kingdom of Loss. Andy Tillison also performs in a duo with Matt Stevens of The Fierce and the Dead. Much of the band’s cover art has been created by artist Ed Unitsky, who worked closely with the group on several releases. Unitsky completed five album covers for The Tangent. The outer cover artwork for the band’s 2020 album Auto Reconnaissance was again provided by Unitsky, while the inner sleeve art was created by newcomer Sara Mirabbasi. The cover artwork for Not as Good as the Book (2008) was created by French artist Antoine Ettori, and the artwork for Down and Out in Paris and London (2009) by mbl graphics.
