| | Lost Art Of Time Travel CD (2008)
 $14.29 
While Vanderhoof's guitars occasionally adopt a thick, distorted tone, things never cross into overt metal territory. Though Presto Ballet was formed by guitarist/keyboardist Kurdt Vanderhoof, formerly of thrash band Metal Church, it is NOT a prog-metal band, as sometimes assumed, but rather a straight-up prog-rock band in the classic '70s symphonic style.

| Peace Among The Ruins CD (2005)
$14.29 
Prog rock circa the early 21st century was quite a different beast than when the genre first appeared on the scene in the 1970s. But there have been a few exceptions to the rule, such as Presto Ballet. In fact, the superhuman playing seemed to turn prog into one big sporting event. Still, the music here is vintage prog, especially such selections as the tour de force "Speed of Time," the bombastic album-opening title track, and the early Styx-ish "Sunshine." Peace Among the Ruins is proof that true prog still exists. But later on, the production of prog records became increasingly sterile, with the instrumentalists never ever dropping a note. But whereas many prog rockers of the '70s possessed singers with impenetrably high singing voices, Presto Ballet's vocalist, Scott Albright, sings in a more "classic rock" style. Originally, the style was much more gritty sounding, and while there was an exorbitant amount of extended jams/solos, the playing wasn't always virtuosic (in other words, a flubbed note or two wasn't a cardinal sin). Additionally, although the majority of the tracks stretch past the five-minute mark, songwriting remains the main focus. Featuring founding Metal Church guitarist and chief songwriter Kurdt Vanderhoof, Presto Ballet hark back to the days of 2112, Leftoverture, and Fragile -- in other words, you get loads of synthesizer and Hammond organ.
