Mike Johnson - Gardens Of Loss [CD]

Mike Johnson is the long time leader, composer and guitarist of the legendary US avant/progressive outfit THINKING PLAGUE, originally formed in 1982. * Appearing with a number of alumni of 'the Plague', including vocalist Elaine diFalco and reedman Mark Harris included in the 'band', and also featuring a string and brass section, this very much has the musically dense and lyrically very dark Thinking Plague sound that Mike has always delivered! * "... some of the most rhythmically complex, texturally inventive, and melodically challenging popular music of the last 30 years, and somehow makes it all sound easy and natural." - All Music Guide * "Thinking Plague are exciting and ridiculous in equal measure, as good Prog rock should be." - Wire
