about

The original 1990 version of this album was borne on an exciting whirlwind of musical creativity inspired by new technology of the day - an Atari computer linked via MIDI to various keyboards and synthesizer modules. However, the production became dated very quickly and I've since longed to rerecord it using the instrument that is my specialty - guitar.

Over the years between other projects, I took tentative stabs at it, but the real work began in the spring of 2020. Using the original MIDI files as my starting point, I learned to play many of these keyboard synth parts on electric or acoustic guitar. What I didn’t replace with guitar, I improved by employing much better sounding virtual instruments.

Finally, it’s complete and sounds like the album it was meant to be. Enjoy!

Note: This album is not available on CD.

Pure epic prog from beginning to end. Steve Cochrane

Places Unseen
by cirrus bay

The music of Cirrus Bay is deceptive. On the surface, you'll hear warm, sunny vibes wrapped in pleasantly organic sounds. Listen closer and you'll hear sophisticated and multi-layered compositions. Steve Cochrane

Precipice
by Steve Unruh

Unruh plays complex rhythms on acoustic instruments with plenty of intensity and he sings his deep and thoughtful lyrics equally so. Steve Cochrane

Forsaken Innocence

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10. Alrihkh
