Already being talked about as one of the prog rock albums of the year, the star studded Docker's Guild debut release “The Mystic Technocracy (Season 1: The Age Of Ignorance)” sees worldwide release this Friday (15th June) on Lion Music.
Featuring a host of the some of the best names in rock/metal including vocalists John Payne (Asia), Goran Edman (exYngwie Malmsteen / Karmakanic), Tony Mills (TNT) and Amanda Somerville (Avantasia / Epica), guitarists Guthrie Govan (Asia) and Jeff Watson (Night Ranger), bassist Tony Franklin (Blue Murder) and drummers Gregg Bissonette (David Lee Roth / Joe Satriani) and Magnus Jacobson (Miss Behavior), this prog rock extravaganza written by keyboard whiz Douglas Docker is essential listening for fans of Yes, ELP, Dream Theater and Genesis.
Home to 15 tracks, the album marks the first movement of Douglas Docker’s 5 season story and is styled in the same vein as classic progressive rock space operas in the vein of Star One, Ayreon and progressive masterpieces like “Close to the Edge”, “Selling England by the Pound” and first records of Asia. Also included is a cover of the David Bowie hit “Loving The Alien”.
An ellaborate promo video for the track "Darwin's Tears" is currently in production with the finished video expected in the 3rd quarter of 2012.
