  | DELUGE GRANDER ~ AUGUST IN THE URALS
EMKOG 001 (Barcode: 737885500522) ~ USA ~ Progressive Rock
Recorded: 2004 - 2006 Released: 2006
This is the 1st album by the excellent US Prog band Deluge GranderFind albums by this artist, formed by keyboardist Dan BrittonFind albums by this artist and drummer Patrick GaffneyFind albums by this artist, both members of Cerebus EffectFind albums by this artist at the time. Combining forces with several other musicians / guests, with a different lineup on each of the five tracks, they created a milestone achievement, certainly as far as US Prog is concerned. Continuing the Prog tradition from its peak at the mid 1970s, this album has everything that a Prog fan might expect: great melodies, brilliant instrumental improvisations, long tracks (one almost half an hour), in short "pure" Prog heaven. Britton, who also sings the lead vocal parts, composed most of the music, and he certainly can spin a tune. It is altogether a bit over the top perhaps, bigger than life, etc., but any die hard Prog fan is destined to fall for something like this for sure. Those Prog fans that missed it so far should definitely check it out, as they´ll probably love it to bits!
