HEALING DREAM - "Reiske and Reiske"  - John Goodsall Tribute

In 2014, a small group of like minded rockers put pen to paper, rented the studio for months, and unleashed a torrent of nostalgic, guitar driven pop rock with crystalline backing vocals ala "The Sweet" and "Queen", destined to remain obscure (A contractual agreement) and continue far down the annals of history, to be forever the bridesmaid and never the bride.  The original concept was to hire only folks weighing in at over 500lbs each, but the harsh reality of touring on standard (Non heavy duty) stages had doomed the project from the start. So lavish in the deluxe themes, overdriven sounds and  fanciful fantasy world of an era gone bye. In fact, our home base in Vegas was torn down a few years ago. Alas, we are an idea now that may never be again. The sad story of "Massive Tonnage" had to be told though. All ye who read this: be it known, if you see a giant band, so big no stage can withhold the apparent weight, and several large sweaty men, barely able to stand, rocking like there's no tomorrow,  You will know We Have Arrived !!! Yes, there are more songs. No, you can't hear them now. We have gone to the Buffet for the remainder of the Month.

It's Christmas (All Around the World)  -Nov 19th 2013 - Hallmark Channel Remix

While awaiting to hear something from Roberts new project we decided to give the Crimson fans a little taste of what we have been up to....Here is a very Cinamatic/Crimsonesque taste of whats to come in CD2. We have so much material on the table right now, we could easily release a double length CD with several pieces over 20 minutes in length. Thats right, epic prog with undertones of all your favorite styles rolled into one neat package. If you own or can arrange to borrow some Sennheiser HD 380 headphones, I strongly reccomend you listen to this track in that manner. You will then begin to comprehend what is in the works. This cut dedicated to the new fans of  our band in Colorado and Oregon, this one is bound to make you Smile!..........

Freak - Cosmic Danger - Official Promotional Mix Pre Release

Hard Rock Hotel 
(Dedicated to our late brother, William Bradley Huff)

The boys and me, we had our specialty, it was the loud guitars and a slammin beat.
A wiining scene out on the street, we loaded up our mics and amps and drums and cheap guitars.
We headed out for the sunset strip to the land of stars and flashy cars and fat cigars.
Got a Tuesday night in at madam wongs, and a Wednesday at the whiskey, gonna play our songs.

Hard rock hotel, everybody's yelling bout the school of hard knocks, but this place rocks!
Hard rock hotel, everybody's yelling bout the school of hard knocks, but this place rocks!

 New agent man said we're his favorite band and all the girls came out from all around the land.
The drinks were cold and the shirts were wet, we never guessed just how intense our rock and roll could get.
The night is young and the lights are hot, the sound-mans with the bosses daughter, gonna get us shot!
Were rockin the night in the full moon, we've waited so long for this party.

Hard rock hotel, everybody's yelling bout the school of hard knocks, but this place rocks!
Hard rock hotel, everybody's yelling bout the school of hard knocks, but this place rocks!

“SINGULARITY” - Cosmic Danger                          Reiske & Reiske 2014/2023

Would you look at this place?
It’s vaguely familiar,
As we crawled up through the porthole and we saw the light,
With the mechanisms churning, and the news of our returning,
There was quite a stir upon the ancient tower,

(chorus)
Singularity, Singularity.

The static filled transmission indicates a dire malfunction,
We haven't even got a chance to save the crew,
The shuttle for the passengers no longer transmits signal,
Reboot the mainframe engage emergency power,

Consulting procedure I see that the women and children receive euthanasia,
It once was assumed that this was a logical step,
But there’s hope on the horizon bringing us a brand new day,
As machines evolve and then they join with us,

Singularity, Singularity.

The pulse magnetic radiation brought things to a halt,
There doesn’t seem to be an answer from the wise men,
The situations clear, to get us out of here we’ll need a miracle, a miracle,

Singularity, Singularity.

We found the solar panel and the laptop that we buried,
On a sunny day before the lights went out,
It’s a mystery to see how this became our saving grace,
But our future is embodied in this message…

But there's hope on the horizon bringing us a brand new day,
As machines evolve, and then they join with us, 

Singularity, Singularity.

Give me hope where we once had failed we transcend human biology. (The Singularity)...
In the plan the machines and man will be one, Singularity.

Give me hope where we once had failed we transcend human biology. 
(The Singularity)...
In the plan the machines and man will be one, Singularity.

Hawking's Mind - Cosmic Danger

Here is a taste of another song from CD2 which should be released in 2017 if we can ever get all the songs mixed and the artwork finalized. The deeper we dig, we keep finding great tracks that were put aside while all the writing was going on. We have enough new music and melodic/orchestral progressive rock for at least a double length CD release. That is one of the many reasons its taking so long. Please bare with us and enjoy this future favorite!
Enjoy and share if you love great music!
This tune features Jim Reiske on guitars and bass and vocals and Will Reiske on drums, Keyboards and orchestration. Yes, this was written and performed by father and son. Hope it touches you in some magical way. Stay tuned. its gonna be worth it. Put on your headphones and close your eyes.............
THE GYPSY:
"The end of the century's  pivotal strategies made us all weaker, the end of an age in the flash of atomic defense. This planet resounding the calling to listen the speaker, he said that the new age was here, not a word of it true!"
 "Cause when the smoke has cleared maybe the gypsy was right, all of the battles lost and found, fade into the night.
All of our senses are leaving us to the shadows we train, under the canopy weeping, the enemies  lay."
"With the faith in a new star arising, When the darkness we all see the way, from a past of confusion and chaos to feelings of sailing away."

The Gypsy - AUGUST 2014MIX - Cosmic Danger- unreleased track

A really cool unreleased Brad Huff tune. Yes, he played and sang everything on this one too.

We printed with most of the effects you hear. 
Planning on sourcing the original DAT master, and if it plays, I will be REMASTERING the CD for Todd in 2019. Stay Tuned!

Shadow Of A Crow REMASTERED

This song written in 2005 seems a lot like a narrative on current events. 
Man, it's 2021 in a few days and things have not gotten better for America.......
I was in the midst of 12 songs I had been demoing for a possible upcoming run it with Jon Anderson from YES. He had expressed interest in changing/expanding the scope of his work. This one was not written with Jon in mind but rather a sort of "Automatic writing" exercise. Probably recorded in a day and mixed the next. I still was playing drums too....Every day as I remember.  I am still not sure I understand how it happened or why but I was definitely alone in the new studio at Arlington Park in Fort Wayne. The same studio where John Goodsall and I had several laughs.....
