Album Notes

About the Author:

Glade Swope [G.S.] is not a singer-songwriter. Modern technology meets the passion of the romantic era. He dares to go it alone in classic progressive rock and art-metal: a well-regulated militia where the right to bear distortion will not be infringed.

G.S. constructs large ensembles using both new and old technology, featuring guitars (sometimes more than 5), keyboards, vocals and percussion. G.S. Produced many releases on CD and cassettes dating back to 1991, many of them now rare.

About “The Time Traveler's Symphony”:

Very strange and introspective progressive rock, like Schubert, Chopin or Tchaikovsky meets alternative grunge!

Originally from 2001, and available for the first time since the end of Ampcast. G.S. never promoted this record, as it was very experimental and not meant to have any pop appeal whatsoever. This is also the last album G.S. recorded without any digital recording equipment. (except for the final dub to the C.D.)

Tracks 1-9 are the original album. Track 10 is a live performance of TMY, unrehearsed and played for the first time in over 5 years! The following 'encore' tracks are from earlier works:

End of the Road” (1998)

13. World Without End 5:38

from “13 and Eternity” (1993)
