As tough as the previous album `Stonedhenge` was to follow, TYA stood up to the challenge and recorded a new one as good and even better then its predecessor. This is absolutely brilliant blues material with some slight spicing from jazz and rock making it a delightful gem. Alvin plays better then ever and his neck-breaking solos made scores of other guitar players to burry their instruments. An absolute timeless classic. GLASS HAMMER ~ JOURNEY OF THE DUNADAN 1st album from 1993. US Prog band Glass Hammer was formed in 1992 by two musicians - Steve Babb and Fred Schendel. They shared a love for Symphonic Prog and Fantasy literature (Talkien and the likes), which were to dominate and shape the group`s path. All their albums, starting from the debut, were to be based on Fantasy / History literary works and bear an ambience of mystery and adventure. This debut album was basically recorded by the two founders, with some help from fellow musicians. GLASS HAMMER ~ PERELANDRA 2nd album from 1995. Following their debut release, GH started to perform their music in public and became a working group with a core of four / five musicians, who also took part in the recording of the albums. They also started to develop a loyal following by an ever-growing group of devoted fans. This album, as all others, is a concept work. GLASS HAMMER ~ ON TO EVERMORE 3rd album from 1998. GH had already quite a following when this album was recorded. The band follows the established path of concept albums and the music becomes slowly more refined and orchestral, with many keyboards instruments used to produce a `large` and impressive sound, which is to become their hallmark. GLASS HAMMER ~ CHRONOMETREE 4th album from 2000. The band further develops the concept album appproach, making this an antire two-part suite rathen then a collection of seperate songs. The keyboards work becomes more intensive then ever and the guitar is also given a stronger part then evet before. A very good Symphonic Prog album, with lots to offer and deserving repeated listening. GLASS HAMMER ~ LIVE AND REVIVED 5th album from 2001. This time not a new work but a release of older material recorded live in 1995 at the Progfest Festival rehearsal (The actual live recording of the festival was unfortunately unusable). This material, together with some unreleased studio tracks from 1994 (so called lost album), was released in 1997 as a limited edition album and was sold out completely. This is a re-release of that album. GLASS HAMMER ~ THE MIDDLE EARTH ALBUM 6th album from 2001. It`s not difficult to guess that this album was directly inspired by the groups`s favorite author J. R. R. Tolkien, who of course inspired many Prog artists to create concept albums based on his wonderful books. This is a great collection of masterly written melodies and some superb vocals parts. GH by this stage truly perfected their art and were capable to sustaining a very high level of musical output. =========================== Many items back in stock! =========================== Have Fun!
