This is an important US Prog band lead by the keyboards player Erik NorlanderFind albums by this artist. His abilities are very well complemented by the other band`s members and this is a prime example of what a great symphonic Prog show is all about - energy, virtuosity and good music.

  | ROCKET SCIENTISTS ~ REVOLUTION ROAD
THINK TANK 1050 (Barcode: 802610105027) ~ USA ~ Progressive Rock
Recorded: 2006 Released: 2006
5th album by US Prog trio Rocket ScientistsFind albums by this artist, led by keyboards wizard Erik NorlanderFind albums by this artist and active since the mid-1990s, continues their splendid output so far. Although rarely mentioned as one of the top Prog acts, they are truly excellent and often much more ambitious and intelligent than most other acts of the genre. Norlander is an extraordinary instrumentalist (a "one man orchestra") and a great composer with highly developed sense of melody and harmony. Guitarist Mark McCriteFind albums by this artist (who is a founding member) and bass / stick player Don SchiffFind albums by this artist (who joined the band on the second album) create some mighty music here, powerful at times, lyrical at others, which is a pure delight for any Symphonic / Neo-Prog enthusiast. The album recorded almost 8 years after their last release, presents almost 2 hours of Prog at its best, full of excellent instrumental passages and long, well developed musical themes. For people familiar with the band´s legacy this one is no surprise, for those who are not, this is a splendid opportunity to get acquainted with one the best bands around.
