Magellan is a group named for the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan. With a name like that, one expects their albums to take you on a journey, and this one does not disappoint. The group is composed of Trent Gardner, Wayne Gardner, and Joe Franco. Together with some notable guests, they have produced a CD that both captures elements of classic progressive rock and carves out its own niche in the musical landscape. The disc contains only three songs, one of them the album opener, a 35-minute opus (divided into 13 CD tracks) entitled "The Great Goodnight." The album deals with the personal loss of the Gardner brothers, that of their brother, Jack Elroy, in the Vietnam war. The piece is an appropriately emotional one that covers a lot of musical ground. Indeed, the composition pulls you in and gets you so wrapped up that it really does not seem like 35 minutes have passed. The second number on the album is an instrumental entitled "Family Jewels." If you think that one sounds like Jethro Tull, a lot of it probably has to do with the presence of Tull's Ian Anderson playing flute on the number. Other guests on the album include Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson) and Robert Berry. The final cut, "Brother's Keeper," does not refer back to the opening magnum opus, but instead speaks to the brotherhood of man and questions whether humankind lives up to their responsibilities in that relationship. The disc is a very strong one of which the band should be quite proud. This one should appeal both to current fans of the group and to those hard-edged prog fans who have yet to check them out. Magellan, as their namesake, have shown a new and previously undiscovered world. ~ Gary Hill

| Hundred Year Flood Music Review Purchase Hundred Year Flood CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Shadow Gallery Legacy CD (2001)
Hundred Year Flood album
$13.45 Legacy is Shadow Gallery's fourth disc, and certainly one of their best. Those who say Shadow Gallery is prog metal rather than progressive rock should really give this disc a listen. Certainly there are plenty of metal influences, but there are also lots of moments that are much more closely tied to classic progressive rock. The songwriting on this disc is impeccable, as are both the performances and the production. The music ranges from metallic stylings to more sedate elements to powerful prog wanderings. The final cut on the CD is a 34-minute epic that will definitely keep you on your toes. ...
| | Leonardo: The Absolute Man CD (2001)
Hundred Year Flood CD music
$13.85 This rock opera began as a pet project of Magna Carta head Pete Morticelli, and was wisely entrusted to the very capable hands and ears of Trent Gardner (Magellan and Explorer's Club). In the works for several years, Gardner wrote and produced this massive project with the assistance of several supporting vocalists and musicians. Based upon the life of Leonardo Da Vinci, Gardner did a thorough job of researching his subject in order to create the appropriate concept, music, and required performances. The "group" is billed as an original cast recording in the hopes that this work may one day be performed on stage. The lead role of Leonardo is performed by Dream Theater vocalist James LaBrie, who is perfectly cast. His vocal and emotional range are exactly what is called for and he turns in one of his most memorable performances. The varying ...
| | Explorers Club Raising The Mammoth CD (2002)
Hundred Year Flood music CDs
$14.49 Once again, Trent Gardner has assembled a plethora of progressive rock musicians to produce an album under the heading of Explorer's Club. This time, the notable participants include drumming legend Terry Bozzio (UK, Frank Zappa, Bozzio Levin Stevens), bassist John Myung (Liquid Tension Experiment, Platypus, Dream Theater), Kerry Livgren (guitarist for Kansas), Gary Wehrkamp (Shadow Gallery) and keyboardist Mark Robertson (Cairo). Marty Friedman (best known for his work as guitarist in Megadeth) also makes his presence known. Gardner brings both vocal and keyboard talents, along with his songwriting work, to the project. The vocalists rounding out the recording are Steve Walsh (Kansas) and James LaBrie (Dream Theater, Mullmuzzler). If the first ...
| | Porcupine Tree In Absentia CD (2002)
Hundred Year Flood songs
$8.55 There's a breed of (post-1980s) bands with the same degree of grand rock experimentalism as Pink Floyd and Yes, who simultaneously adhere to the concept of concise songwriting. Porcupine Tree is one such band--their sound is a balance of lush ambient textures, charming vocal harmonies, rock & roll directness, and acoustically- and electronically-generated sounds. Their debut IN ABSENTIA shows all these elements in place, rich with the likely possibility of them becoming a contemporary counterpart to Pink Floyd.
Hailed by Billboard as 'cinematic...simple gorgeous', Porcupine Tree are unquestionably ...
| | Dream Theater Train Of Thought CD (2003)
Hundred Year Flood album
$11.05 TRAIN OF THOUGHT continues the legacy of the progressive metal legends, with all the requisite superhuman metallic musicianship that their fans have come to expect. This outing continues in the heavier mode that began with 2002's SIX DEGREES OF INNER TURBULENCE, reaching even further into darker, personal lyrical themes.
Guitars are the dominant expressive voice here, with keyboards scaled considerably back from the signature Dream Theater sound. Band members Mike Portnoy (drums) and John Petrucci (guitar) continue their do-it-yourself production approach, opting for recording venues on their native Long Island (much of the band's album work has taken place in upstate New York at Bear Tracks and Little Bear Studios). "As I Am" and "This Dying Soul" at times borrow generously from Metallica, featuring ...
