Detroit, Michigan's own ILLUSION returns with Sleight of Hand, a powerful new CD from the seasoned progressive rock quartet. Originally known for their unique brand of original classic rock, the band has developed a darker, heavier style on their second full-length release. Sleight of Hand features 13 original tracks that range from dense, guitar-heavy rockers (The Lake, Silent Valor), to moody acoustic-driven pop (Kayleen). Hammond organ, mandolin, and percussion are among the diverse instrumentation used to create a collection of songs reminiscent of the glory days of FM radio. ILLUSION drifts effortlessly between light and dark. Dynamic arrangements and lyrics effectively draw the listener into the story like a well-crafted movie. ILLUSION is currently working on tracks for their next CD. Check back for up-to-date info regarding the release!

Hello my brothers. Long time, no talk. Hope you're dodging the bullet from this p.o.s. economy. Just wondered if you were still working on a new album? Life is trying here but somehow being a man with "honor" and good common sence will pay off. Hope the holidays bring you internal rebirth and new dreams. Peace, and HONOR-
