Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conceived as an instrumental concept album inspired by the planet Mars, this project features elite British progressive and jazz-rock musicians, including Phil Collins and Percy Jones. The cinematic fusion recording heavily utilizes early analog synthesizers to augment its complex, fast-paced rhythm section, bridging the gap between space rock and technical fusion.
