Presto Ballet - Dreamentia Music CD

Seattle's prog-rockers Presto Ballet will release their Seventh studio album "Dreamnetia" on on June 27, 2025. Founded by Metal Church guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof in 2005, Presto Ballet combines the melodic and harmonic old school aspects with the neo progressive rock sound of today. While their sound is often compared to the early works of Kansas, Rush, and Yes, Presto Ballet still maintains it's own identity. In regards to the musical direction of "Dreamentia", guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof comments, "Dreamentia is the continuing story of Andy Rottman. His story began on the album Relic Of The Modern World. It is the story of a regular guy who has gotten fed up with technology and decides to disconnect from modern life and all the digital and cyber way of living. His few friends tell him this will be just like "disappearing". And when he gets rid of his cell phone, his computer, social forms of media and dissapears. Dreamentia is the story of what happens to Andy after his disappearance. This is what I like to call the "obligatory Prog Rock concept album" Following the template of my favorite 70s progressive rock heroes. I figured Presto Ballet needed one as well. Besides, it's really a lot of fun!!
