About this album
Tarot Suite is Mike Batt’s most ambitious solo statement, a lavish 1979 concept album that fuses pop songcraft with symphonic and progressive rock scale. Credited to Mike Batt And Friends, it frames a suite-like journey through theatrical arrangements, orchestral colour and memorable melodies, with pieces such as Lady Of The Dawn and Run Like The Wind helping define its dramatic sweep. Batt, already respected as a writer and producer, brought a polished, cinematic touch that gave the record crossover appeal beyond rock audiences. Its blend of accessibility and grand design has helped it endure as a distinctive late-1970s art-pop release.
