Rocket Scientists discography The Japanese release of this hard prog-rock album includes two additional tracks, "Compass Variation" and "Wake Me Up (Live in Tokyo)." This is a very good album, no question about it. The disc covers a lot of musical territory and has a great prog sensibility. The musicianship and vocals on the CD are impeccable. The CD reviewed here is a Japanese import, and the two bonus tracks are only available on the Japanese edition. It is also important to note that these bonus tracks are separated from the rest of the CD by a long pause. A special treat on the disc is a great cover of the theme song to the old British sci-fi series Space 1999. Rocket Scientists are Erik Norlander and Mark McCrite. Tommy Amato, Neil Citron, Greg Ellis, Tony Franklin, Lana Lane, Arjen Anthony Lucassen, and Don Schiff join them on this album. ~ Gary Hill CD contains 2 bonus tracks. Additional Tracks

Rocket Scientists songs The second release by Rocket Scientists proved the band had matured significantly since their debut. Eric Norlander's keyboards are the cornerstone of the band's melodic style of progressive rock, offering an intriguing blend of virtuosity, taste, and atmosphere. The vocals are the band's weak point, which is a shame because the songs are all well written and contain memorable melodies. Despite the caliber of their musicianship, the music never degrades into technical meandering, rather the focus is always on exploring the possibilities within the parameters of the composition. This is truly "progressive" music; respecting the past, embracing the present, and pushing towards the future. ~ Robert Taylor Recorded in West Hills, Simi Valley & Sherman Oaks, California in April & August 1995.
