Glass Hammer – A Matter of Time Volume 1 (Glass Hammer, 2020)
American progressive rock band Glass Hammer has released a digital only album titled A Matter of Time Volume 1. The band’s founders, multi-instrumentalists Steve Babb and Fred Schendel selected their favorite songs from Glass Hammer’s catalog in thew 1990s and re-imagined and re-recorded the tracks.
The results is a deeply satisfying set of symphonic progressive rock with epic instrumental work and excellent guest vocalists. The keyboards play an essential role with the band channeling Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman-style electric organ, mellotron and synths throughout the album.
The lineup includes Steve Babb on keyboards, bass, and vocals; Fred Schendel on keyboards, guitar, and vocals; and Aaron Raulston on drums. Guests: Hannah Pryor on vocals; Reese Boyd on guitar; Walter Moore on guitar and vocals; and Dave Bainbridge on guitar.
