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!
