Number Seven is the seventh studio album by American musician Phideaux Xavier. It is a concept album based on its main character; a dormouse. Inside, it features 20 pages of artwork featuring the dormouse and other characters.
The album's first and last song are "Dormouse – A Theme" and "Dormouse – An End" (reminiscent of King Crimson's In the Wake of Poseidon). It is divided into three acts.[1]
The album is played by the live band, with no outside musicians or orchestra. Its musical style is closer to the albums Chupacabras and Doomsday Afternoon. It is a blend of progressive rock and psychedelic rock with chamber jazz and classical music.[2]
Remastered edition
A remastered version of the album was released in April 2010.[3] Phideaux later said about the original release of Number Seven: "[...], we made a mistake with the first issue of Number Seven by breaking up the songs into smaller sub-bits for people to have easy access to. People couldn't really find the 'songs' of Number Seven."[4] The remastered version of the album fused many of the original version's short tracks into longer tracks.
