Force Of Progress: With technical complex, yet melodic songs……

It took Hanspeter Hess (The Healing Road), Chris Grundmann (Cynity) and Markus Roth (Marquette, Horizontal Ascension) a.k.a. Force Of Progress only 4 years and 2 albums to establish themselves as cream of the crop of german Technical Orientated Instrumental Prog. And since fun at work often transforms into productivity, they already finished another collection of technical complex, yet melodic songs, assembled in the new album Redesign.

Beside Dennis Degen and Sebastian Schleicher, who took over drums, bass and guitars respectively, FOP engaged a whole array of guest guitarists to provide solos on each of the five album tracks, resulting in a highly entertaining “competition” of high end musicians.

LTE3 may feature more notes, but in terms of catchy tunes, Redesign

rivals the very best in this section of progressive rock.
