Album Notes

12-song CD released in 1999. Progressive folk-rock without the bad attitude. MANDALA features some of the same songs from the limited release 1997 Homegrown Music collection recorded in a full-band format with drums and electric guitar. If you love the Backstreet Boys, you'll absolutely hate MANDALA.

Music that will soar through your heart, soul and mind like an electric eagle whose eyes can pierce the dusty clouds of the computer age and pick apart the varied illusions and realities of the post industrial complex that is both refreshing and nostalgic.

No rules. No lies. Just real music.

Personnel:
Jeremy dePrisco - Acoustic & electric guitars, voice, bass,
percussion, mandolin, samples, keyboards

Joe Schrum - Drums, Roland electronic drums, congas and marimba

Lou Damon - Occasional backing vocals on tracks 2, 5, 9, and 12
Lead guitar on tracks 5, 6, and 10

Jim Nowak - Lead guitar work on tracks 1 and 7

Matt Homiak - Bass on tracks 5 and 11

Nice

A nice journey through the roots of blues and country influences woven into the fabric of contemporary rock. Good melodies and fine playing supported by nice original lyrics.

The songs on MANDALA simultaneously challenge the listener's mind with descriptive word pictures and express artistic and emotional ideas that many listeners can relate to. These songs also demonstrate a maturation of Jeremy's abilities; having started out as solo performer withonly an acoustic guitar, he has clearly developed his multi-instrumental skills and ensemble playing into the fully realized songs on MANDALA. I recently staged an adaptation of Ibsen's PEER GYNT using some of Jermey's songs; his lyrics fit perfectly with the ideas embodied in the play: finding oneself and the path to self-awareness, and "To thine own self be true!" My personal favorites on MANDALA: "Just A Matter of Time," "Give me a Break," and "I Ran Away." And I can listen to "Why" and "Breathe Deep" repeatedly.

I'm listening to your album now. I'm speachless. This is great. I'm not blowing smoke up your ass either. I'm looking at the case and all and thinking "this is the real thing." I hope you're happy, because this really is great. You've worked really hard. This is really cool. Congratulations. I dont know what else to say. We'll talk when you come up. I hope that I can someday do the same, and accomplish my dream and get {my book} published. You have become a Jedi.

Disturbing, inspiring and positive. Disturbing, in that, I could connect on an almost parallel life line. It conjured up past regrets and hurt. Inspiring, in that, I found your song about believing in a God you weren't sure was there. Positive, in that, the songs all seemed to give the listener a 'line of hope.' It began with the questioning, then the searching, then the longing, then finding the light at the end of the tunnel...
