BOOK OF THE DEAD
K2
2004 , USA - EURO 15.00
Label: PROGROCK RECORDS
ALBUM REVIEW
K2 is the brainchild of Atlantis bassist/songwriter Ken Jaquess. Beginning with guitar lessons at age 11, and switching to bass at 13, Ken found a desire early on to play unconventional music, far from the path of commercial, radio pop. Newcross (Rain of Thought), Dresden and Atlantis, are just a few of the many bands Ken has had the privilege of performing with. Wanting to explore even deeper into the world of progressive rock, Ken decided to form a new group, write a conceptual album based on the Egyptian “Book of the Dead”, (a subject that holds endless fascination and not yet explored in this genre) and get the best musicians around to play with him. K2 (K squared) is truly a band of unparalleled talent. Joining Ken are guitar great Allan Holdsworth, jazz drummer extrodinaire Doug Sanborn, Spock’s Beard keyboardist Ryo Okumoto and the late, great Shaun Guerin on vocals. This is an album not to be missed. (Just for Kicks)
