The Illustrated Band combines spacey dreamscapes, progressive rock and pop, to create a unique yet highly palatable sound. Thought provoking lyrics and creativity over formula makes The Illustrated Band a true experience for the music lover. The bands' founders (Michael Blake-guitarist, singer\/songwriter, and drummer-Paul Roraback) began writing songs together in their hometown of Seattle where they recorded the bands' first album under the name Gideon's Press, before relocating to Austin where the band was completed by bassist David Kline and keyboardist Nic Whitworth. Their 2005 album, 'The Forever of Now' is a diverse collection of songs, ranging from the soaring pop melodies of 'Mother's Arms', to the highly complex epic, 'Whirling Dervish', making it a 'must hear' album in 2005. \u003cstrong\u003eFor fans of 80's and 90's prog rock bands ala Marillion, ELP, King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, Echolyn, Genesis, Rush and more!  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCUSTOMER REVIEW\u003cbr\u003eThis CD is the debut from The Illustrated Band from Austin, Texas. They have a very American sound palette similar to Phish and the other jam bands, but they aren’t a jam band. Well, on one track at least they are, but the rest of the album is highly composed. Their music is littered with progressivisms, with touches of Rush, Genesis, and Yes (more so the acoustic side of the last two) here and there. There is a pop\/rock element, but the same can be said of Echolyn, whose style they sometimes brush up against. There are some psychedelic flavors and, above all, well-defined melodies. It’s a very creative mix that draws the listener in and doesn’t let go.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1        The Forever of Now    9:47\u003cbr\u003e2        Mother's Arms    4:46\u003cbr\u003e3        All Of These Secrets    7:55\u003cbr\u003e4        Anima Mundi    2:32\u003cbr\u003e5        Paragon    6:28\u003cbr\u003e6        Return To Cair Paravel    5:29\u003cbr\u003e7        On My Knees    5:57\u003cbr\u003e8        Anna    6:34\u003cbr\u003e9        Where The River Bends    2:59\u003cbr\u003e10        Whirling Dervish    10:44\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"dmusic-dpx-tracklist-feature-fetcher_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"dmusic-dpx-tracklist-feature-fetcher\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"dmusic-dpx-tracklist-feature-fetcher\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"dmusic-dpx-tracklist-feature-fetcher_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"i0cywr-hb9zby-larm1w-qujuau\" data-cel-widget=\"dmusic-dpx-tracklist-feature-fetcher_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"detailBullets_feature_v2\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"detailBullets_feature_v2\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"ly983f-b0zhn4-edv7m0-djsojv\" data-cel-widget=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBulletsWrapper_feature_div\" data-feature-name=\"detailBullets\" data-template-name=\"detailBullets\" class=\"a-section feature detail-bullets-wrapper bucket\" data-cel-widget=\"detailBulletsWrapper_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Boone's Overstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50346165567522,"sku":"mtp1789824683272","price":18.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0887\/4937\/5522\/files\/the-illustrated-band-the-forever-of-now-cd-2005-prog-rock-w-paul-roraback-gramma_1.jpg?v=1789824689","url":"https:\/\/fluidplywear.shop\/products\/the-illustrated-band-the-forever-of-now-cd-2005-prog-rock-w-paul-roraback-grammatrainbloodgood","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
