1) GTR was a supergroup founded in 1986 by ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett and Yes and Asia guitarist Steve Howe. Other members included vocalist (and former milkman) Max Bacon (ex-Moby Dick, Nightwing, Bronz), bassist Phil Spalding (ex-Bernie Torme, Toyah, Mike Oldfield, Original Mirrors), and American drummer Jonathan Mover (ex-Marillion, later of Steve Vai fame).
GTR's only studio album, a self-titled LP produced by Geoffrey Downes of Asia, released by Arista Records, went gold and spawned a hit single, "When the Heart Rules the Mind", which stayed in the charts for 16 weeks. Another single, "The Hunter," received some video coverage and modest airplay. While GTR's album was a chart success, it is highly debated with many fans of Genesis and Yes. Some fans claim it has rather substandard filler material and some criticism directed at Max Bacon's strident tenor. J.D. Considine's review of the album simply read, "SHT.". However, it has become somewhat of a cult classic among fans, with some of them regarding it the best work ever.
After the US tour Steve Hackett departed the band and together with new member guitarist / vocalist Robert Berry (ex Hush) they returned to the studio to record demos for their second album with workingtitle Neurotrend. During the recording process Arista Records went cold on the band. GTR split up in 1987, and soon after Robert Berry joined 3, with Carl Palmer and Keith Emerson. Max Bacon joined Geoffrey Downes and John Payne for the Rain project.
The track "Prizefighters", available only as a live recording on the King Biscuit Flower Hour disc was re-recorded by Steve Hackett with Bonnie Tyler on vocals and released in 2000 on the album Feedback 86.

2) GTR is also a pseudonym for Gareth Emery, a Trance DJ and Producer.
Based in Southampton, England, Gareth Emery is a producer and DJ of trance music who comes from a diverse musical background that has included classical piano training, jazz, and even a little punk rock. Now ranked #34 in the 2006 DJ Mag Poll, Gareth is definitely a rising star that is catching the ears of the world.
Gareth Emery first came to the attention of the electronic music community early in 2002 when his debut vinyl release, a white label remix of The Shrink's classic 'Nervous Breakdown' was broadcast live on BBC Radio 1 from the Mardi Gras festival on Judge Jules' show. After being championed by a host of DJs including Eddie Halliwell, Guy Ornadel, Scot Project and Dave Pearce, 'Nervous Breakdown' was immediately picked up by Nutrition for an official release and later featured on a number of compilations including the Godskitchen Direct mix album.
Following the hard tech-trance flavour of 'Nervous Breakdown', Gareth turned his attention back to his traditional home of trance with his next release, a double a-side comprised of the tracks 'Psiclone' and 'Flood Control' on his own label Influential. The release picked up considerable support from all the major trance spinners including Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten.
However, the track that truly put Gareth on the production map was GTR – ‘Mistral', which was the fourth track he had produced. Never destined to become an anthem, it was produced entirely on a laptop computer over the course of a two week holiday in Provence. Nevertheless, the sole CDR that Gareth sent to Paul van Dyk caused a storm when Paul van Dyk debuted it live on radio from the Nature One Festival, and soon after it was signed by Five AM records, helping it to become a truly global trance anthem. With its driving electro-style grooves and memorable riff, Mistral received huge support from the some of the world's leading DJ's, including Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten, and highly positive reviews in all the major UK magazines including Mixmag, Muzik, and DJ. Significantly featuring on Tiesto's 'Nyana' album, 'Mistral' went on to be voted 26th biggest trance record of the year in a poll conducted by Armin van Buuren on his ID&T radio show.
Following his rise to fame, Gareth Emery has made regular appearances at UK superclubs like Godskitchen, Slinky, The Gallery and Passion, has established an international residency in Vancouver, and now frequently plays all over the globe. The remainder of his time is divided between producing genre-defining club tracks under his various guises and running Five AM, one of the UK's premier trance record labels.
Gareth Emery has a distinctive and unique production style that can perhaps best be described as a fusion of trance and progressive, with psy, tribal and techno flavours.
His productions are consistently described as intelligent, driving, melodic and progressive.

GTR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The words will make you out 'n' out
You change the day your way
Call it morning driving through the sound and
In and out the valley
The music dance and sing
They make the children really ring
Call it morning driving through the sound and
In and out the valley
[Chorus]
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see
I'll be there with you
I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distance atmosphere
Call it morning driving through the sound and
Even in the valley
[Chorus]
Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching
Down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees
The rim of the land
The eagle's dancing wings create as weather
Spins out of hand
Go closer hold the land feel partly no more
Than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers
By in our hand
Nex to your deeper fears we stand
Surrounded by a million years
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
[Chorus]
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving through the sound and
In and out the valley
[Chorus]

The lyricist describes himself as the roundabout, which can be interpreted as a symbol of the constant movement and flow of life, where everything revolves around a central point or purpose. The words, in this case, can act as signposts that guide people through this journey, helping them understand the changes they encounter along the way. The reference to changing the day your way suggests that individuals should take control of their lives and make decisions that align with their goals.
Additionally, the lyrics mention mountains, lakes, and eagles, which could be seen as natural symbols of power and majesty, representing how life and nature unfold in ways that are beyond human control. The metaphorical language used in this song highlights the power of words and how they can shape our perceptions of life's experiences.
Overall, "Roundabout" by GTR is an insightful song that encourages people to take control of their lives and navigate through life's changes while also acknowledging that the journey can be unpredictable and beyond our control. The lyrics use vivid imagery and metaphorical language to evoke feelings of awe and wonder about life and nature.
