Disassembly Required

Tracks 1 thru 7 were inspired by the book 'The End of Time / The Next Revolution in Physics' by Julian Barbour. The book makes the claim and offers scientific arguments that time is actually an illusion and the universe is in a static state of 'timelessness' and that every instant is a total 'now'. The music and lyrics weave a rollercoaster ride of progressive rock with most of the lyrics dealing with the subject of time. Instruments include standard rock guitar, bass, drums & keyboards but also include the use of sitar with a few flourishes of cello. Jerusalem & Mythria were released previously on 'Echoes of Oblivion' but where spruced up with some additional editing & keyboards. Disassembly Required was also mastered by Ty Tabor of Kings X, so those songs as well as the whole album carries a new sonic texture. All instruments & vocals by mark cellos by linda-marie miller cajon, djembe & percussion by danny McMahon aux percussion by bill stoneback.
