Influences
I am a total prog-head and have been influenced by masters of the genre since the 70s. Early Genesis, ELP, Gentle Giant, Yes, Fireballet, Focus, Flash, Frank Zappa and Kansas were (and are) well represented in my collection of vinyl. Of late, Spock's Beard, Flower Kings, Echolyn, Glass Hammer and The Tangent are getting the lion's share of my CD bucks. Neal Morse is, perhaps, my all time favorite. The man is truly blessed (as are we).
Doug Bowers is a multi-instrumentalist singer / song writer who makes his home on the gulf coast of North West Florida. He has dedicated his muse to his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ writing, recording and producing music during domestic down time. Although his taste in music ranges from classical to progressive metal, Doug's songwriting lends itself to a variety of styles. Musically, progressive rock influences are evident in the majority of his songs. His lyrics come from life experiences and his Christian worldview. Comparisons aside, Doug simply writes the songs as they are presented to him. Pretty simple concept. Recording and production tasks are carried out literally "in house". Doug plays and sings all but the hard parts which he farms out to various friends in the business.
SEA OF TRANQUILITY: CPR remains among the best compilation series in any genre, with the power to appeal to a broad range of listeners regardless of faith — spreading the gospel of prog, plus so much more.
Beyond Our Bounds $12 plus $3 shipping and handling.
VIRTUOSITY: Sounding a bit like Marillion and packing a no-compromise Christian lyrical punch, Ad Astra is a welcome newcomer to the Christian prog genre.
SEA OF TRANQUILITY: The result is Beyond Our Bounds, a smooth and silky modern melodic prog album, brimming with spiritual lyrics, tasty keyboard lines, linear guitar solos, and strong lead vocals.
