Thanks for being our friend, Jupiter Project! Awesome fusion music; rock, jazz and progressive blended seamlessly. Each song has its own flavor and personality. Baltimore holds a place in my heart; I lived there for three years, even went to Peabody for classical guitar lessons that didn't take. Keep up the great sounds.

I have "Echo And Art" cranked up and it is kicking my ass!! Great sound my friend, you are an awesome player. Thank you for checking out the band and the kind words, it's much appreciated........
Thanks for adding me to your wonderful group of friends! Great sounds abound in your music! Dreamy meditation in "Live Long"; all out RAWK in "Riff Raff"; something mystical, magical, and familiar about "Celecstial Antiphony"; and I think I like "A Circle Of Rhythm" the best. You sway through styles with ease, melding Classic Rock and New Age. I hear many many infleunces, all good. :-) I'll have to pick up the CD soon!
I know I've heard of ZEUS before. Something in my brain is flashing a signal of recognition.
