Well hello! I hope this day finds you well and happy. Thank you for taking a few minutes out of your busy day to read the ramblings of an old fantasy Songwriter/Lyricist.

By now it’s probably come to your attention that we’ve put together a brand new concept album. Yup, it’s a “concept album”. I know, we previously indicated that future releases would be "singles". And, that we probably would never produce another “concept album". Well, like with so many things in life, we were wrong. Sorry.

This one follows our friend Marcel in a most wonderful time; the Victorian Age.  A time when men oozed with honor, and women with seductive allure. It was a time when technology was first introduced to the world. When it was believed that great steam powered engines were to be the driving force; blending the best qualities of man and machine. The possibilities were endless and mankind's technology was just getting started.

In this brand new eleven song collection, we paint our mascot Marcel as the great inventor and lady’s man. Each number was carefully crafted to follow the previous one mapping a musical journey (for about 45 minutes, give or take a few) which will lift the spirit and tantalize the soul. Or, perhaps only give you a few minutes of much needed beauty sleep. Either way, grab your favorite music player and find a comfy chair. Strap on your best headset and set the volume to “safe”. Then turn out the lights and enjoy the listen.

And as always, thanks for listening.

Mimes On Rollercoasters™ is a United States based, independent music recording group, founded by Mark Ruester. We write and record "Album Rock", but often publish one Single at a time.

Our music has been described as "Prog Rock", "Space Rock", "Alternative", "Indie" and by some more perceptive folks, "Classic Style Melodic Progressive Rock". We were heavily influenced by Jethro Tull, Yes, The Moody Blues, and frankly just about every band who churned out an album between 1967 to the present. Give us a listen. We hope you enjoy what you hear.

Both CDs and downloads are available for purchase at all of the usual retailers and in our official store on the web.  We hope you will help support us by making a purchase.
