Self-founded band of Derek Sherinian (Billy Idol, former Dream Theater) from 1999, describe themselves as "the sickest instrumental band in the world - a band that played so fiercely, it would strike fear in the hearts of other musicians when they heard us". Their latest piece of work, Quantum (their third studio release), is such a didactic play. It uniquely demonstrates what happens when a number of exceptional musicians team up. An incredibly fast-pacing roller coaster ride. The perfect fusion of rock and metal. Featuring guest appearances by Allan Holdsworth (Soft Machine, UK, Gong), Brett Garsed (John Farnham) and Rufus Philpot (Al Di Meola). Extreme virtuosity is again the watchword here as guitarists Holdsworth and Garsed and keyboardist Sherinian rip furiously over some of the heaviest progressive music being created today. Drummer Vigil Donati remains the one-man rhythm wreaking crew, pounding out a plethora of odd rhythms and meters for the solosits to work with. Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Progressive/Hard Rock), total running time, 50:23 - Planet X @ iTunes!
