The Anabasis – Back From Being Gone (2011)

Well, just when I thought 10T Records had unveiled all of its fantastic surprises, which this year have included, TCP’s Fantastic Dreamer, as well as new albums from Mars Hollow, From.UZ, Man on Fire, and Farpoint, they pull another rabbit out of the hat with The Anabasis! I am nominating them for record label of the year if nobody else does!

“The ANABASIS is a progressive rock collaboration project, conceived by USA multi-instrumentalist and composer, Barry Thompson, with lyrics by noted professional author, George Andrade, who is also Executive Producer. A group of extraordinarily talented musicians were recruited from all over the world to take part in the project. The premise was to provide a basic framework for the songs and then to allow the musicians to play their parts with their own style and sound”,

Tim Morse – Faithscience (2012)

Tim’s latest album is called Faithscience and will be released by AEP on 08/31/12. The project started out as a concept album based on the life of Charles Lindbergh, but eventually strayed from that original vision to be more all encompassing. The music on Faithscience continues where Transformation left off, exploring the best of Progressive Rock. As the producer of the project Tim was able to get some of his favorite musicians to participate including Jerry Jennings on guitar and the David Ragsdale (of Kansas) on violin. In addition to the release of Faithscience Tim continues to perform with Parallels (Yes tribute), After the Beatles and the Jerry Jennings band. He is the process of putting together a new band to perform original music.
