Classic prog rock with Rick bass, harmonies, lots of guitar solos. Alternate version of the song, with a third guitarist trading licks at the end.

Artist picture
Prog rock with a classic, melodic sound reminiscent of Yes, Genesis, Kansas, Rush. A duo consisting of Jim Kube on drums and percussion and Rob Wessel on guitar
The band was formed to record original progressive rock songs. It's a style that I don't think really achieved its potential in the 70's, before many of the bands who played it either disbanded or started recording pop hits. It has enjoyed a resurgence in the last 20 years, and the variety of brilliant music that has been recorded and performed in those years only proves that we may never exhaust all the musical possibilities the genre offers. Admittedly, my songs don't stray too far into uncharted waters, with nods to a lot of my favorite old bands, and a melodic, sometimes pastoral sound, rather than the dissonant or atonal sounds preferred by some prog bands. Nothing wrong with atonal, but melodic is usually more my writing style. I'm excited to be reworking a handful of songs I wrote many years ago, adding live drums and rerecording the other parts. Live drums do so much for a song. I also look forward to collaborating with many of the talented musicians and vocalists I know on upcoming songs. Scheduling sessions with other people can be difficult because they all have other priorities demanding their time, but I hope to get a number of talented folks up to my studio for sessions as I record these songs.

Story behind the song
In this version with an alternate ending, the guitar dialog at the end between the English prog rock guitarist and the California shredder dude is joined by a Texas bluesman. A song about communicating. An older version is also here on our soundclick site. This new version has Jim Kube on drums, and guest backup vocals by John and Amy Roberts, Elaine Ernst, and Phil Neubauer.
