TWELVE MONTHS OF OCTOBER is electronic based music with a different kind of vision. Rodney manages to pull together many different elements to create a uniquely exciting, yet thought provoking hybrid of dance and progressive music. Blending live performances with elements of breakbeat, techno and progressive rock. Even though this CD is difficult to categorize, the intensity of the playing, melodic compositions, and the almost cinematic images are undeniably powerful.
