FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS AND GET READY FOR A RIDE! This electric sonic architecture disc will capture your ears and take you on a long distance journey through many different mutlicolored soundscapes; this band goes everywhere. This music is DEFINITELY PLUGGED IN TO THE AMPLIFICATION SYSTEM, borrowing from many different genres, including twentieth century neoclassical, jazz rock fusion, techno, and world sounds. The song BIGSKY is a true story about a man and a woman who gave up their conventional lives and hit the road, travelling for a long time in search of a place where they could call home; at the end of their journey they pass through a long canyon, cruising fast on a desert highway, then breaking into the landscape of Bigsky, Montana, where they find that special place to put on the brakes for good and hang out. The rhythm section creates a driving music back beat, and, combined with ethereal keyboard and atmospheric guitar sounds, the listener can feel the wind in their hair.
TIGERS is a heavier rock song about those things and times that get your heart rate up, and the aftermath of survival. With an overall alternative sound, heavy guitar riffs, and breakneck electric bass playing, this tune gets you up! Honk if you like distortion.
The heavily classical music influenced ROYALTY has a Celtic twist in its middle, and harkens lyrically to the grace and subtlety of yesteryear, qualities that seem lost in modern times. Believe it or not, this tune was primarily written by the drummer!
In the deep 3D stereo rock ballad WATER'S EDGE, a man who travels the world returns to his home to find all he believed in long gone, but through this change he finds inner strength anew and reinvents himself.
The title cut, INHERITANCE, is a fantasy tone poem about humanity's end at the hands of God. The twist in this apocalyptic drama is that once all of humanity has disappeared, God discovers his own human frailties. This is God's Inheritance. After all, what is any God without fevered human imaginations giving rise to a continued superhuman existence? INHERITANCE, is progressive rock to the core, i.e. clocks in at about 14 minutes and spans moody sweet to heavy dissonant. It will give any art-rock lover an earful. Consider yourself forewarned
