Excerpt from MB autobiography:

“The success of my first solo album, Schizophonia had spurred me on, and I wanted to make a truly cohesive album that had a dramatic concept on which to hang the ideas. I had always been fascinated by the artwork and the tradition of Tarot Cards. I wasn’t really that interested in the occult, - I suppose I was curious like anyone else, but I got to know the various Tarot packs and read a lot about them. I decided to write an album (“Tarot Suite”) which would once again combine my more experimental combination of rock and symphonic instruments and ideas with songs, some of which could be quite simple.   The song “Imbecile” needed a really tough, harsh voice, nothing like mine. I recruited Roger Chapman, formally the manic front-man of Family, and he sang that song, as well as “Run Like The Wind” which finishes the album, but which was originally written for the film “Watership Down” and never used. Colin Blunstone sang “Losing Your Way In The Rain” beautifully. I sang the vocal on “Lady Of The Dawn” which became a big hit, particularly in Holland, Germany and South Africa.  Looking back, I think it was the most cohesive of my solo albums.”
