United Progressive Fraternity Talk About Planetary Overload-Loss Part1

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

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

United Progressive Fraternity – UPF “PLANETARY OVERLOAD” Update

Hi Everyone,
just a little update on the Planetary Overload album.

United Progressive Fraternity - UPF

We are taking our time with this one as we want to make sure that every song gets the attention and focus that this project needs.

Firstly the track “What happens Now” is with Guitar guru Matt Williams I am sure he will be laying down some very tasty bits.The track has drummer extraordinaire Jerry Marotta.

The Epic “Seeds for Life” arranged by Gordo Bennett is taking shape and I plan to lay my vocals down in the next 3 weeks.This track will feature some wonderful players including Dan Mash (bass), Marek Arnold (sax), Steve Unruh (flutes, violin production) Steve Hackett (guitars) Nick Magnus (keyboards)

Planetary Breakdown
This song is arranged by Jose Manuel Medina and written by Mark Truey Trueack its the next track in which I am working on now, the orchestration is wonderful and the sound is quite lush. Most of all the message comes through, I am yet to choose the musicians for this track.

I will be recording some of these tracks at Timms Tunes with some direction from Sean Timms along with some other secret stuff

More updates soon….
