Hi Amos… Second release for the band and you really took it one step further… Way to go dude!
A: Thanks man. Although not in any way difficult, quite the opposite in fact, it certainly was one of the most stressful records we’ve ever made. Simply because we felt like we had to live up to the expectations we created with our first record. And well both in public and behind the scenes it’s been a tough couple of years, so we’re really happy to have this bad boy out there working for us now!

Prog legends Nektar return with their triumphant 13th album 'Time Machine' on June 18, 2013 on Purple Pyramid Records – the first album of new material in over 4 years – that band leader and founding member Roye Albrighton is calling “The best album Nektar has ever made”!
“Time Machine” showcases a new depth of songwriting, melodic complexity and musical exploration that hearkens back to early Nektar releases such as “Remember the Future” and “A Tab in the Ocean”.
Being part of a contemporary music groovy prog metal path and having offered the fundamentals on its origin, TesseracT didn’t back out for a sec even if they had to change the voice of the group. Introducing us to their new vocalist Ashe O’Hara, the band avoided making a very common mistake that most of the bands do when they lose a member and especially the singer. They try to fill the gap with a similar singer, thing that isn’t wise. Alternatively, TesseracT decided to move on and they chose to do it their way with their own terms… and they’ve done right.

Hi Neil & Robb, since it’s the first time we speak can you give us a brief bio of 1476? How& when did it all start?
My personal journey for “new music territories” and new bands/artists is like an eternal journey… sometimes you get to meet new places and discover their appealing music sounds and others “some weird sounds” are coming to you out of nowhere. More or less that’s what happened with 1476… but what exactly is this band all about?
