Jigsaw Pieces

Just finished putting the arrangement together for 'Battle for Planet X', and sketched the main parts. Looking forward to the recording of this one, as it be the final piece for the new album. Hoping that recording will be complete by the end of the week, with mixing / mastering to commence in the New Year.

Yet to come up with a title for the overall work, but thinking along the lines of 'Music inspired by the Motion Picture' given the starting points for each 'story'. Suggestions welcome, though!

Very excited about putting the whole thing together, as it is quite a ride. I've really drawn on the spirit of the classic PROG stories of yore, but added cinematic, world and electronic elements to further expand the progressive nature of my compositions.

Greetings from PROG Mountain

Wow, it has been a while since I spoke to my legions of adoring followers!

1. To the Interior
2. Awakenings
3. Solitary Confinement
4. Uprising
5. Battle Lines & Skirmishes
6. Repatriation

Side Two - Planet X
1. Planet X
2. Beneath Planet X
3. Escape from Planet X
4. Conquest of Planet X
5. Battle for Planet X

Until Later
