Purposeful Purpoise (USA) [Crossover Prog]

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Purposeful Porpoise founder and lead guitarist/vocalist/composer Alex Cora envisioned something different for this Los Angeles- based, progressive rock, concept band. With influences ranging from Genesis and Frank Zappa to Jeff Beck and Joni Mitchell, Purposeful Porpoise’s self-titled, double CD debut was recorded live in-studio with some of the best musicians in the world jamming and creating music that has a live, organic feel that can only be created when artists play live together.
The double disc set kicks off with the decidedly epic, “Crossing Into The Unknown” – a 21-minute, cinematic prologue that introduces the listener to Purposeful Porpoise’s futuristic, aquatic world of “Nommos,” where dolphin-like, bi-ped “Nommo” dwell peacefully until their world’s power source is stolen and transported elsewhere – launching a battle between good and evil, and a quest for survival in a world occupied by air pirates, warriors, mystics, savages, villains and saviors.

	Exact Progressive Rock album. "The Water Games" is a 4/5 star album IMO. I think this great band deserve to have their own page in PA.
