Broken Parachute for Symphonic Prog?

Marcus Taylor and Ben Bell have been collaborating on musical projects
since the late 1990s when they began playing together in a number of
blues and rock bands at the University
of Warwick. These included the rock group ‘Crazy Dogs’ and the aptly
named blues quintet, ‘Cheese Trauma’. While the blues provided a useful
meeting point, the pair explored mutual interests across the musical
spectrum – drawing on progressive rock and jazz fusion while keeping a
close eye on strong songwriting and engaging solo improvisation. Broken
Parachute originally started as a vehicle for Marcus’ new compositions
and Ben’s desire to test his abilities as a lead singer. Separated by
the Atlantic ocean owing to the demands of paid employment, the pair
availed themselves of new technology to aid their transatlantic
collaboration. The resulting album – ↓↓Down is the New Up↑↑ – is the
first showcase product of their creative energies.
