Land of Chocolate is a melodic progressive rock band that was formed out of the breakup of the universally acclaimed jazz/fusion/avant rock band Finneus Gauge, who were not only selected as 'One of the 10 Best in the Current Progressive Underground' in the January 1999 issue of Guitar World, but also had its debut album 'More Once More' chosen as one of the 'Top Five Albums of 1997' (Keyboard Magazine).
Land of Chocolate continues to push the boundaries of today's music by incorporating elements of jazz, rock, fusion, and funk into a musical smorgasbord of keyboard, guitar, bass, and drums. Add on delectable melodies, fun-filled yet thought-provoking lyrics, and soaring multi-part vocal harmonies, and you'll see why it's easy to get caught up in the Chocolate fix.
Taking on the dual role of keyboardist and lead vocalist, Jonn Buzby (ex-Finneus Gauge) is joined in Land of Chocolate by John Covach (guitars, backing vocals), Gerald Wilson (bass, backing vocals) and Wes Hare (drums). Together, the four musicians bring an impressive array of recording and performance credentials to the table, along with a built-in fanbase that has been well established through each individual's prior and current projects.
Unikorn on the Cob, Land of Chocolate's debut release, presents the bands' wares in stunning fashion. LOC has recorded a stellar debut, with over 60 minutes of complex and innovative music that leaves the listener wanting more.
Soundclips and other info is all available through the official Land of Chocolate website, so please go check it out for yourselves!!

Love it!!!!!!!!
author: John Skalecki
Awesome Prog. Just love it.
Why don't cd's like this one become popular in the mainstream and make loads of cash? Because the music is way too complex for the average listener. The above average listener will appreciate this way above average music. It doesn't remind me of anything. Its totally unique. Thank god!!!!
LOC completely Rocks!!!!

Top quality stuff!
author: Acid Attack Music
When I first played this I went, oh no not another prog rock album. But I listen to everything several
times before I review it and this one grew and grew in my estimation. So, yes, it is a prog-rock album
but it has a sense of humour, it has nice Zappa-esque touches,a slight jazz influence, a hint of Adrian
Belew, that makes it stand out. It also has good genes, former members of Finneus Gauge and
Echolyn are involved, though the music of those two bands isn't known to me the label that they came
out on in the UK, Cyclops, is and, though I'm sure they know about the band, I passed the name
along. For this deserves to find a wider world audience. It just has 'quality', a certain something that
nags at you. Lyrically it sounds strong, not apparently mired in a disasterous concept that hamstrings
so much stuff in this field, just good individual songs, (joy, the lyrics are included The joy of reviewing
is finding the real good stuff out there that no one has heard of and this is one of those. I've been
recommending them all over the place and I recommend them to all the prog-rock fans that read our
reviews. You might have to go through the website (clear and well-organised), to initially get copies,
(and also hear examples and make up your own mind), but it'll be worth the trip.
