Prog Collective: Dark Encounters

Some of the biggest names in progressive rock join in on this album by Billy Sherman, who plays bass, keyboards, guitars  and drums throughout. For King Crimson fans, you’ve got drummer Pat Mastelotto on the shadowy “For All to See” as well as violinist David Cross spewing aspic on the synthy “At The Gates”. Weather Report drummer Omar Hakim teams with Yes’ Patrick Moraz on a Pink Floydish “Dark Days” and drummer Chad Hardwick hits hard on “Beyond Reason”. Even Todd Rundgren joins in with Rick Wakeman for a fun read of “I Saw The  Light” and the Yes pianist stays along for an instrumental with good o’ Nektar on “I’m Not In Love”. Is there going to be  a concert tour?
