>>> OUT NOW <<< GOAD "Titania" 2LP/2CD/digital

The sophisticated and deep sound of the Tuscan band emerges like never before. It is magical and extremely professional atmospheric Prog-Rock so dear to the fans of Van Der Graaf Generator, King Crimson, Genesis, PFM, Procol Harum.

LISTEN / BUY: https://album.link/TITANIA

The music in "Titania" is magic, with great piano melodies, old-fashioned 70's drums played like an orchestral score, using clean guitars bordering on "amplifier-jack-instrument" rawness, and the voice that appears like the performance of a singer in a smoky infamous small club.

SATURDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO: EXOTIC ANIMALS & BEACHES OF PENNSYLVANIA featuring Davy Jones (Monkees). In 1965, young Jones was fresh from Broadway and had a deal with Colpix Records as a solo act (“The Monkees” were not yet birthed). That same year, in an interview on a Los Angeles radio show, he predicted there’d be “Broadway rock” and that Spoken Word records would find a niche in pop culture. The radio host argued “not,” but within a few years rock musicals were huge (HAIR, GODSPELL, etc.) and artists such as Donovan and Velvet Underground did Spoken Word recordings. 

Fast forward to 2001: “Exotic Animals…” follows this stream as David laid zany narration over prog-rockers jamming with Moscow’s Felix String Quartet. It imagines a "spy movie soundtrack” in the land of The Amish—which David (referencing Central PA) called “God’s Country.” On a cosmic jukebox this would play next to Kronos Quartet, The Monkees HEAD album, New York Rock Ensemble, and “Theme One” by Van Der Graaf Generator. The “Exotic…” music (rhythm section and string quartet) began in Stockholm (Sweden) with my old pal, drummer-percussionist-tech wiz Bil Bryant. American parts were added in Kentucky and the recording was finished in Williamsport PA (mixed by Tim Breon).

On a cosmic jukebox this would play next to Kronos Quartet, The Monkees HEAD album, New York Rock Ensemble, and “Theme One” by Van Der Graaf Generator. The music bed (rhythm section + string quartet) was launched in Stockholm (Sweden) by my old pal, drummer-tech wiz Bil Bryant. Parts were added in Kentucky and the recording was finished in Williamsport PA (mixed by Tim Breon). The cover art is by renowned artist Chris Yambar, whose resume included Alice Cooper, KISS, and The Simpsons. Chris passed away in 2021 and we pay tribute to him with this track.

BotW happened...

I got a Nintendo Switch and the new Legend of Zelda game. Since then I’ve only been on my PC maybe twice not including today. I’ve still been doing some practice, though not enough to meet the goals I’d set for myself. I kept notes of these practice sessions, so I’ll still do a a write-up of these. I guess that will be sometime soon, probably this weekend.

Planning on going to some estate and garage sales to hopefully get to leaf through some vinyl albums. It’s more fun to find things than it is to purchase online. Still hoping to be able to findsome Van Der Graaf Generator or some Caravan.
