Darwin - Distorted Mirror - Music & Performance - CD

5th release from Darwin. Another action packed musical adventure featuring Simon Phillips, Greg Howe, Andy Timmons, Derek Sherinian, Mohini Dey, Julian Pollack, Matt Bissonette & Jesse Siebenberg. Prog-rock supergroup DarWin return with their most ambitious work to date: Distorted Mirror - an 8-track odyssey of intricate melodies, heavy grooves and breathtaking musicianship. Following the acclaimed Five Steps on the Sun, this new album picks up where it left off, continuing DarWin's journey into genre-defying, cinematic rock. From the opening instrumental "Rising Distortion" - an epic soundtrack to the rise of superintelligence - to the explosive title track and the climactic jam of "Winter Fare", Distorted Mirror is designed to be experienced as a full-body listen. Co-produced by DarWin and legendary drummer Simon Phillips (Toto/ The Who/ Jeff Beck), the album features an all-star lineup including Greg Howe (Protocol, Michael Jackson, T Pain), Mohini Dey, Matt Bissonette (Joe Satriani, Elton John), Andrew Freeman, Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Black Country Communion), Andy Timmons (guitar), Julian Pollack AKA J3PO (keys), and Jesse Siebenberg (guitars, vocals, keys). Highlights include the politically charged "Man vs Machine" and the hauntingly beautiful "Loophole" a cautionary tale of war, memory and the cycle of history.
