Envy Of None - this is a new project including Alex Lifeson (of Rush) as a member. If you are looking for a Rush album, this is not it. If you are looking for something fantastic in the Rock / Prog-ish realm, it's fantastic. I'd heard one sample song before getting the album, and was somewhat uncertain about it. It turns out that was by FAR the weakest piece on the album. This one is going to live in my CD player and car for the next while. Easily the best new music I've come across in quite a while. BTW, if anyone thinks Alex is no longer on his game, you'd be extremely wrong. Amazing musicianship from all members of the group, and incredible sound - very well, and properly produced - just watch out for your subs!!!

"By electrifying his double reed instrument and incorporating elements of bebop, fusion, Indian, ambient and rock-fueled grunge, the Bay Area bassoonist pushes the envelope on what his notoriously unwieldy instrument can do..." Link (released in 2008)
