Petroleum Falcon - Breaking The Second Law

This is a new instrumental album, currently a digital only release from ZSXI Recordings.  I'd say the sub-genres bounce between symphonic, space & post-rock mainly.  There are a few classic rock and jam influences as well.

Here is the write-up from CD Baby:

The debut album from
Petroleum Falcon attempts to conjure up that brief period when
progressive rock was refreshing and creative. In other words, before it
began to collapse under its own weight like a neutron star. Musical
quotes dot the landscape as though they were bread crumbs leading the
way in (or out). Three pieces from uber-classic film scores are covered
here, an homage to modern composers who probably won't like them very
much.

Other influences include Romantic composers like Herold
and Grieg, who's music could often become a soundtrack to the invisible
movie playing in your head (if you're into that sort of thing) and of
course Hendrix, Hackett, Howe, Hillage, Tibbetts, Fripp, Beck, Page,
Gilmour and the rest...
