The Samurai Of Prog
Omnibus - The Early Years
Album 2018 on Seacrest Oy label
Rock (Prog Rock, Symphonic Rock)
A collection of the first 3 albums. Both "Undercover" and "Secrets Of Disguise" have been remixed. From the booklet: Some parts of "Undercover" and "Secrets Of Disguise" have been re-recorded/re-edited: For Example, Steve Babb's bass on "Starship Trooper" was done for this release and Stefano Vicarelli and Marek Arnold helped Marco and Kimmo to make an extended version of "Gravita 7.81" in 2018. Also, "The Promise" is an extended version here. "One More Red Nightmare" used to have both Steve and Kimmo on drums, but in this version there is only Steve, along with Steve's new vocals. About the bonus tracks : "Indictement Ever After", "This Side" and "The Other Side (of me)" were recorded for the Oceanic Legion-project with Lalo Huber and Carlos Lucena (of Nexus) some years ago. Earlier mix of "Indictment Ever After" appeared in Decameron III Box-set, but the other tracks have never been released. Michelle Young and Marek Arnold added their parts in 2018. Issued in a hardcover cardboard box with 32 page booklet. The CDs are in the foldout cardboard sleeves.
