Bryan Beller’s epic progressive double concept album “Scenes From The Flood” limited run of BLUE SWIRL 180-gram vinyl, with first 100 signed and numbered as “BBB #—” (for “Bryan Beller Blue”). Gatefold jacket features a URL link to a deluxe 28-page digital booklet, as well as links to never-before-released DEMOS of six songs from the album. Only this special USA webstore will have signed/numbered units, but this SHIPS WORLDWIDE to many countries for under $20 USD shipping cost (UK, FR, DE, Australia).
An instant classic when it dropped in 2019, “Scenes” features a massive group of guest stars including Joe Satriani, John Petrucci (Dream Theater), Guthrie Govan (The Aristocrats), Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa), Gene Hoglan (Dethklok, Testament, Strapping Young Lad), Joe Travers (Joe Satriani, Zappa Plays Zappa), Ray Hearne (Haken), Nili Brosh (Danny Elfman, Dethklok), Janet Feder, Mike Dawes, and more.
The album’s prescient 2019 topic - when the storm comes for us, the big one after which things will not be the same, what do we keep, and what do we let go? - became strikingly relevant in the intense years that followed, and its themes of ambition and loss, intentionality and reality, hope and disillusionment remain ever more relevant today.
With the original black and purple vinyl runs having sold out years ago, this new limited pressing provides true fans of the work with a collector’s item, and an opportunity for those who missed the initial run to have a deluxe hardcopy vinyl edition.
Praise for “Scenes From The Flood”:
"'Scenes From The Flood' is an astonishing artistic statement from an artist setting a seemingly impossibly high bar and getting over it with eloquence, confidence and grace."
— Scott Collins, Guitar Muse, Sep 10, 2019
"'Scenes from the Flood' is a colossal artistic statement and a career triumph...one of the year’s most intriguing and staggering albums, it will for sure end in our 2019 best of lists."
— Scott Medina, Sonic Perspectives, Aug 22, 2019
"You keep discovering things on this excellent album where Beller bypasses all the pitfalls of instrumental guitar rock, and we are enthralled for 88 minutes by the rock-solid melodies, the warm sound, and the broad spectrum of styles, joined by a class musician."
— Jurrian Hage, IO Pages, Sep 1, 2019
"Listen carefully to this album...then, listen again for a second and third time. Each time, you will discover a different and fascinating musical itinerary. At the end of the road, you'll probably say and feel, just like me, that this is one of the best of the year and maybe more."
— Fred Simoneau, ProfilProg, Aug 20, 2019
