Disconnect's "Obscuros" reviewed by Progression Magazine (Issue #61, April 2011):
----------------------------------- DISCONNECT Obscuros 2010 (CD, 65:18) Independent Release PROGRESSIVE ROCK Rating: 12 (out of 16) Disconnect comprises far-flung collaborators Brian Eschrich (New Jersey, USA) on drums/percussion/synths and Erich O'Dell (Maryland, USA) on guitars/bass/keyboards and voice. Obscuros, the duo's third album, carries a potpourri of proggy reference points -- Rush and melodic neoprogressive songcraft being the dominant elements, along with dashes of heavy post-progressive. The arrangements are meaty and varied; seven of these eight tracks are in the six- to eight-minute range, with mid-disc epic "What Else Is Left To Say?" clocking in just past 14 minutes. Lyrically, Disconnect invites contemplation of what appear to be multiple themes of "disconnect," both individually/internally, and in relationship. The track "K.G." represents a nod to the late Kevin Gilbert - "...Another in that line of those who left too soon." As duo efforts go this album features a full sound with O'Dell's expressive guitar/keyboard leads and voice setting the tone and Eschrich's drums/percussion/synth filss blending in organically and seamlessly. For two guys working hundreds of miles apart, that's an impressive bit of intuitive artistry. --JOHN COLLINGE, Progression Magazine ------------------------- |

It took a little extra time, but it looks like the next issue of Progression Magazine will be out shortly, including a review of Obscuros.
In other Disconnect news, we're about halfway through yet another album, which has taken the form of an album-length piece. We're only taking our time since our respective schedules don't allow us to work any faster.  Still hoping to see more reviews of Radio Hostile and Obscuros here as well! |

Just as a side note, it is STRONGLY recommended that when you listen to
our albums you should start with either "Obscuros" or "Radio Hostile",
as these are true prog albums.
"Fragments", on the other hand, is an EP made up of songs that were cut from the "Radio Hostile" album. The songs on "Fragments" are more or less straightforward 'rock' songs with few prog moments (hence the reason these songs were cut from "Radio Hostile"!). of course, feel free to listen to "Fragments" AFTER you've checked out our other stuff...  thanks for listening... |

On Monday, January 10th at 9pm Eastern, the new Disconnect album "Obscuros" will be one of the featured albums played/reviewed on the 'New Moon On Monday' show on Aural Moon. (for those who aren't familiar, Aural Moon is one of the best-known prog rock internet radio sites out there).
http://auralmoon.com/ I believe Disconnect's "Obscuros" will be first up in the show. I'll be doing a live chat with the host for the duration of our time slot. Hopefully some of our PA comrades can join the fun. The show will be re-broadcast again at the following dates/times: Wednesday, January 12th @ 1:00pm Eastern Friday, January 14th @ 5:00am Eastern Edited by SuperHokie - January 08 2011 at 07:25 |

Well both 'Obscuros' and 'Radio Hostile' are available as streaming audio here at PA on our artist page, also at our MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/disconnecttheband). ....And of course they are available for downloadable purchase at iTunes, Amazon.com, etc.  However if you're not able to stream the live audio feeds for some reason, we can provide you a download link for the albums. Just let us know. Thanks! |

hey folks, brian (the other half of disconnect) here. considering the fact that most of the music i listen to is either listed here or i found here, i'm wondering why it took me so long to create a profile. thank you to everyone who has taken the time to listen to our music and offer their thoughts and constructive criticism - it is most appreciated!
speaking of which, methinks i'll start doing some reviews as well... |
