United Progressive Fraternity Talk About Planetary Overload-Loss Part1

by | Aug 28, 2018 | News

Fraternity News,
Just a little update on the recording of Planetary Overload-Loss Part1

We are hoping to announce a label deal in the coming weeks, the album itself has taken a little longer to make than we first thought, there are so many great people involved in a project like this and it takes time for them to deliver their special arrangements. Patience is rewarding 
We hope that fans, friends and new listeners will embrace the sound and the strong messages we are presenting

Here is a little snapshot on how the album will present

Phase 1 Dawning on Us

1. Loss (Anthem)
2. What Happens Now
3. What Are We Doing to Ourselves

3. Seeds for Life (Chris Lebled arrangement)
4. Cruel Times (Chris Lebled arrangement)
5. This Time (Chris Lebled arrangement)
6. Loss to Lost (Chris Lebled arrangement)

There may be some minor changes, but the track listing is mainly complete.

Seeds for Life
We received an early demo of Seeds for Life with the Fraternity Symphony Orchestra arranged by Cornel Wilczek. The original arrangement was produced by the amazing Gordo Bennett The arrangements are wonderfully placed and fit perfectly with Steve Hackett’s Spanish guitar solo. The combination of Dan Mash (Bass), Nick Magnus (Piano, Keyboards) Steve Unruh (Violin, Flute) Jesús Gancedo García (Drums) Marek Arnold (Sax) Michel St-Pere: (Lead and Rhythm Guitars) is something quite special. The track will have a special narration by our own Matt Goodluck with an amazing soundscape by Mathew Atherto
