Comments: One of the first and finest US progressive jazz-rock bands, their latest album is "Spectrum Principle". Over two years in the making, the album's 14 tracks deliver some of the best Glass music to date. The album contains tracks that stylistically span the entire "spectrum" of established progressive music and find the band breaking new ground in the direction of the electronic soundscapes and sound collages Glass introduced on their prior Musea album "Illuminations" (Musea Cat. FGBG 4594.AR). Loosely defined as a concept album, Spectrum Principle offers a unique view into the worlds of particle physics, quantum theory, human abstract thought and the possibility of alternate universes as seen through the unique perspective of Glass drummer and album producer Jerry Cook. All band members contribute equally to the writing and there's something here for all fans of progressive music - the Canterbury-influenced Jazz-Rock songs Glass helped pioneer in the ?70s (complex time signatures, vintage Hammond Organ, Mellotron, Fender Rhodes and MiniMoogs abound), Classic European Symphonic Prog, Acoustic Progressive Rock and much more. Once again Glass invites you to continue their journey with them--this time into the human mind.
