Нello All!

Залит EdBernard/(2015)Polydactyl

Сольный альбом канадского гитариста, скрипача, мандолиниста и ещё хрен-знает-как-оно-называется-но-со-струнами-иста, основателя группы Дрюкфарбен и гитариста группы ФМ - Эда Бернарда.
Ка ни странно, но музыка Эда не сильно похожа ни на тех ни на других (не, жанр один, так что, конечно, напоминает, но не калька).
Музыка ИМХО более прямая, склонная к прог-металлу, Йес напоминает весьма отдалённо, впрочем, чем дальше к концу, тем больше.
Так или иначе, музыка интересная, красивая и достойная того, чтобы её иметь.

Ed Bernard is a multi-instrumentalist and composer born and raised in Toronto Canada. At age 14, Ed was featured performing solo guitar on the popular TV show, The New Music. Within a few years he was busy touring across North America with a variety of artists, playing to thousands of people.

Eventually tiring of the road, Ed started his own studio, ED ID Productions. Sessions and lessons were the order of the day as Ed honed his production chops, developing the skills that led to the first, self-titled Druckfarben album. The success of this record led to a live DVD entitled Artifact, produced and mixed by Ed in his studio. Artifact also garnered excellent reviews and showcased Druckfarben as a formidable live act.

Druckfarben followed up the first record with Second Sound in 2014. Ed once again handled the production duties, with many of the album's parts recorded in his studio. Second Sound showed a remarkable growth from the first record, and was eagerly received by fans and critics alike.

2015 saw the release of Transformation by the legendary Canadian prog band FM. The band consists of founding member Cameron Нawkins, drummer Paul DeLong, and violinist Aaron Solomon. Ed played violins, violas, mandolins and sang harmony vocals and is truly honoured to be involved in this project, with a band he has admired for so long. The album was mixed by legendary producer Terry Brown.

Polydactyl is the exciting new album from composer, multi-instrumentalist Ed Bernard (Druckfarben, FM).

Blending focused songwriting and adventurous arrangements, Polydactyl features melodic vocals, soaring guitars, orchestral thunder and folk mandolins delivered with virtuosity and sonic brilliance.

The album is the culmination of many musical influences including Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Kansas and Stevie Wonder. Performed almost entirely by Ed Bernard, the album features guest vocalists Cameron Нawkins of the legendary Canadian progressive rock band FM and longtime Druckfarben bandmate Phil Naro.
