If

Description

Product Description Glass Hammer is back with a brand new lineup and an album of epic-length prog tracks. The 2010 release "IF" marks the band's return to classic symphonic-progressive rock; an album sure to please fans of the group's earlier releases Chronometree, Lex Rex and The Inconsolable Secret. Pipe organs, Hammond solos, Moogs, Mellotrons - all the trademark sounds are back in place. But "IF" is no simple rehashing of previous Glass Hammer efforts. With the addition of vocalist Jon Davison, jazz-rock guitarist Alan Shikoh and session drummer Randall Williams, Glass Hammer co- founders Steve Babb and Fred Schendel have "hit the reset button" and taken their music to an entirely new level. The sixty-six minute opus features six tracks, culminating in the twenty-four minute long "If The Sun", mastering by the legendary Bob Katz of Digital Domain, and stunning art-work by German designer Tom Kuhn. Review ...can only be described as an unbridled progressive masterwork. If you think they don't make albums like this any more, you're wrong. --Fred Tafton - Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive RockAmerica's leading progressive rock band Glass Hammer are back on track with another masterpiece! IF is most certainly the prog highlight of 2010! --Henri Strik - Background MagazineOverall this album is highly recommended for fans old and new, and I can say with ease that IF is in my top favorite releases for 2010. --Nick Katona - Power of Prog
