“FROM PROG ROCK TO JAZZ ROCK TO HARD ROCK ~ IT'S ALL HERE.”
Shredding through three decades: SourceCodeX's 30-Year Retrospective spans prog rock to jazz rock to hard rock, covering Mahavishnu Orchestra and beyond. Slippery When Wet's Storm the Spectrum delivers downtempo experimental electronica born in an Arizona monsoon — all guitars, zero effects — while their Like A Phoenix rises from the ashes with defiant energy. syn.terra's Skylla unleashes piano-driven progressive swamp metal straight from the fetid depths, and Quizboy's Untitled Project 1 is manic, angry, and aged remarkably well for the times.
“Downtempo experimental electronic created with only guitars and zero effects of any kind”
“This album is an 80's infused mix of songs from slower low key tunes to harder hitting symphonic songs”
“Bullies in the schoolyard, bullies on the playground. Takin' your lunch, takin' your change. Your face they want to rearrange”
“Grooving swamp rock with brass tremble-and-wail over earthen piano, crunching guitars, stomping drums, and wetland synthesizers.”
