Well...maybe it’s only the requisite moniker for a thirty-year vision and twenty year project, conceived simply to release a single album, but in many ways, it can be seen as a model ... a blueprint even ... for how highly skilled, seasoned musicians can come together via technology, and create an exceptional musical work ... without ever meeting. ![]() Stylistically, MMB is reminiscent of 70s & 80s flavored, prog-rock. But while influenced by groups such as Pink Floyd, Yes, Deep Purple, Kansas, and ELP, MMB music is undeniably unique featuring bold chord progressions lying beneath instrumentation that ranges from artfully tasteful to technically brilliant ... all while putting intricate melodies and vocal harmonies front and center. Call it what you will, but this stuff is really different than the current fare ... while retaining rock and roll at its core, and delivering just enough pop flavor to appeal to a wide audience. Everything is consummately musical, exceptionally melodic, and will grab hold of a spot in your head and not let go. So now, we try to make something happen ... daunting in today's world of countless songs coming from every direction, hundreds of music sources, diminishing CD sales, and a general climate of disposable music. But that's where this “Perfect World” album and MMB can stand apart. For you ... the listener ... the fan ... the curious ... we hope you'll choose to experience our work as it was intended ... as an ALBUM and not just a collection of songs thrown together to fill up a plastic disc. Put your headphones on, turn out the lights, lay in the floor, close your eyes, and listen to it like music was meant to be listened to, not only with your ears, but with your whole being. KenM |
