4 stars Cirrus Bay's "The Slipping Of A Day" has been out now for a couple (2008) of years. I was fortunate enough to be a part of making this album with Bill Gillham. I have known Bill for well over twenty years and we have worked on many different music projects on and off over those years. With this album Bill had a vision to bring his style of progressive rock finally into the public mainstream. The album took a few years to put together. What was acomplished turned out to be really quite good. While the first third of the album does suffer from some studio over dubbing problems (My vocals were overdubbed with Bills vocals) the rest of the album is great! Bill composed all of the music and lyrics for The Slipping Of A Day. The length of the CD is about 77 minutes. The two songs that I actually sing on the album are Slipping and I Can Only Wonder along with Sharra Acle on both tracks. Both Sharra Acle and Anisha Gillham play a large part in giving Cirrus Bay it's sound. The music is in the vein of perhaps 70's style Genesis, Camel or Renaissance. Sharra has an almost Annie Haslam style voice which really lifts the songs up.

But don't let that 70's style moniker fool you. Cirrus Bay is today's style of progressive music! If you enjoy progressive music I am sure you won't be disappointed!

Bill has a second album out entitled A Step Into Elsewhere which came out last (2009) year. It also has been getting rave reviews. Please check out Cirrus Bay's MySpace site for more information on both upcoming Cirrus Bay albums and also information on Bill's solo material. I want to thank all of Cirrus Bay's members for their hard work in putting this album together.

I also have my own site on Myspace ( check out Alex Brighenti) with my solo work. Please drop by and visit.

Thanks Alex Brighenti
