Stick Men: Absalom (2011)

Stick Men is a new Eclectic Prog supergroup - a power trio with members that do not need special introductions: they're Tony Levin and Michael Bernier (both, of course, on Chapman Sticks and vocal duties; Bernier occasionally occupying the drummer's stool as well) and Pat Mastelotto on drumsticks. Needles to say, the fans of crimsonian prog will love it; there's also a lot of jazz and heavy chugging bursts, as well as avant moments and African soundscapes. A school example of Eclectic Prog that will most likely became a household name.
Tracklist:
1. Absalom (5:20)
2. Smudge (5:15)
3. Big Dog (4:44)
4. Crack In The Sky (6:06)
