Album Notes & Community Reviews

Masterminded by avant-garde veterans Bob Drake and Stevan Tickmayer, this project blurs the line between rigorous contemporary classical composition and hyper-complex progressive rock. The entirely instrumental music is wildly unpredictable, featuring jarring, atonal shifts and unparalleled rhythmic density. It is an exhausting, brilliant demonstration of technical extremity designed for the most demanding listeners of avant-prog.
