United Progressive Fraternity – UPF “PLANETARY OVERLOAD” Update

by | Oct 23, 2016 | News

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….
