Kinetic Element Returns with Highly Anticipated Sophomore Release

On June 1, 2015 Kinetic Element will
release “Travelog,” the band’s first album of new material since the
release of the critically acclaimed album “Powered by Light”.

Kinetic Element is a neo-symphonic progressive rock band from
Richmond, Virginia that is influenced by the musical roots of classic
artists such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Yes, Asia and Genesis and
blends those influences with philosophical and spiritually powerful and
uplifting lyrics. Kinetic Element was formed as a platform to perform
the music of keyboardist Mike Visaggio’s solo album, “Starship Universe”
which was released in 2006 after Mike was selected to perform at the
2006 Pop Montreal festival. Their second album “Powered By Light,” was
nominated for Best Debut album of 2009 by “The Prog Awards,” which was
at that time an Italian reviews website.

Travelog is an opulent collection of ear-candy which will certainly
ignite your senses. Everything from the beautiful acoustic guitar
passages, to the majestic keyboards, baselines worthy of any late-night
jazz club and vocals filled with social commentary. One moment your
marching into war and the next seated in a cathedral, all swept along by
beautiful percussive elements. Travelog is cohesive and beautifully set before you as though you were at the finest feast fit for king and court.

Travelog contains 74 minutes of music within 5 tracks. 1) War Song 2) Travelog 3) Into The Lair 4) Her 5) Vision

	While I'm at it ... Kinetic Element will be featured on www.houseofprog.com with host Marty Dorfman this Friday night June 26. This will be a couple of hours at least, playing the CD in its entirety and interviewing the band in between songs. If you guys have not had a chance to get to know us this is a nice way to do it. Looks like at least me and Todd will be interviewed, and I'm trying to corral the rest of the band. See the Facebook event at https://www.facebook.com/events/1573371762883413/ You might have gotten an invite on Facebook from old Mikey. But they stopped me from inviting all 2500+ of my friends, so I am posting an invitation to you all right here. This should be fun. You know Marty is a real cut-up and we are flattered he's doing this with us because he doesn't play bad music on his show. So tune in, join the chat, and turn it up!
