Mike (ProgTracks) Great to hear this Washington State band after almost 30 years! Proof that progressive rock was never dead... just underground for a while.

about

It's about time this was released to the modern public... so many fun memories and new friends happened around this time.

It was the first band I recorded with. I was recruited to play bass, and I ended up writing riffs and arranging these songs (as we all did). Robert had the whole thing mapped out, and it took a year or more to come together. We played gigs in Seattle during 1991-92 and were very much part of the Northwest Progressive Music scene, playing with Ministry of Love, Neon Rain, Balance, to name a few... hope you enjoy. Was fun to revisit these songs. This group later transformed into TALAMASCA and released an album on Mellow Records - Rights Of Passage.
