November 11, 2007, 16 years ago
PRESTO BALLET, the project featuring METAL CHURCH guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof, will release their second album, The Lost Art Of Time Travel, on February 22nd, 2008 via Inside Out Music. The follow-up to 2005's Peace Among The Ruins will include the following tracks: 'The Mind Machine', 'Thieves', 'I'm Not Blind', 'One Tragedy At A Time', 'You Are Here', 'Easy Tomorrow' and 'That You're Alive'.
Presto Ballet also features Scott Albright (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Brian Cokeley (piano, Hammond organ, synths, electric pianos, lead and backing vocals), Jeff Wade (drums and percussion) and Brian Lake (bass).
According to a press release, Presto Ballet's "sound is highly reminiscent of 70's prog rock, as the band was founded chiefly as a tribute to classic progressive bands such as YES and KANSAS. Their debut album Peace Among the Ruins was released in 2005 to general praise and considerable press. Critics consistently commented on the album's warm and organic sound, a feeling created through the use of analog recorders and vintage instruments, played with great skill and precision. The band used no drum machines, digital recorders or sequencers in the studio."
