Barry Cleveland reinvents the protest album with an all-star avant-rock lineup on Hologramatron -- his Grammy-nominated effort ("Best Alternative Rock Album of 2010") featuring fretless bass legend Michael Manring, master drummer Celso Alberti, pedal-steel iconoclast Robert Powell and vocalist Amy X Neuburg (plus many more). Drawing inspiration from a musical continuum spanning art rock, psychedelia, metal, ambient, world music, trance, and funk, Hologramatron is a musical response to contemporary social, political, and even spiritual realities.For more than 25 years, Barry's epic compositions and virtuoso, eclectic guitar work have been celebrated by critics, musicians and listeners alike. This epic release -- his fifth album, and first MoonJune Records release -- is Cleveland’s timely commentary on the state of the Western world, and continues to draw the highest praise from critics across the globe. With music and lyrics that hold nothing back, Hologramatron is a masterful, bold, modern-day musical statement."This is a fantastic, essential rock album. Several of its ten mini-epics explore the precarious state humanity finds itself at the present moment, with deep insight, humor, and wit." - Anil Prasad, Innerviewss
