I love this CD’s cover! This is the third project of Roger's that I have a final recording of, following Ministry Of Love and Lost Souls. This is a digitally clear recording with great dynamic range, thanks to Pat’s low 5-string bass playing and Robert’s high electric violin parts.

This is primarily intrumental music that mixes progressive rock and new-age jazz, with interesting electric violin parts supplanting the traditional guitar roles. Z Bazzolo is a bass solo with the complexity of Chris Squire’s The Fish and Where’s My Bow uses just violin with a four-tap delay to produce both a haunting and uplifting melodic treat, which we used as the backing track for Patriot, one of our short films.
