The album before
you represents my sincere two year attempt
to recapture the magic that was Jaugernaut.
It really is an album I made for myself,
that a few people have convinced me to release,
because they liked it as well. I give
it to you in that same spirit…. There are
no “three minute little ditties” on it to
squeeze in between radio ads. It is
pure, progressive Album oriented POMPROCK.
The kind you used to listen to on
FM stations in the 70’s, but yet I hope
you also find it distinctively and enjoyably
different in some ways….
Contra-Mantra tells
an interpretive and speculative story of
the origins of Evil. It was originally
going to be over 100 minutes long, but I
have decided to release it in two pieces.
“Contra-Mantra” book II will be released
early next year to complete the tale. Quite
honestly, the other JAUGERNAUT boys would
have never let me release an album with
such a story if they had been involved,
so I’m a little OK with their lack of interest…
Maybe we’ll be able to get their attention
again one day, but in the meantime, please
enjoy what you can of the first new “Jaugernaut”
release in over 20 years!
Cheers!
