More than a decade has passed since THE FUSION SYNDICATE, a coterie of Cleopatra Records usual studio suspects served up their self-titled debut album that didn’t make a lot of waves but is warmly remembered by quite a few prog connoisseurs who loved to hear their heroes edge into jazz rock. Which is why September 15th will see the release of the project’s sophomore offering.
Bearing the title of “Speedway On Saturn’s Rings” and seeing Fernando Perdomo perform the producer’s role that Billy Sherwood used to sit in, it find a smattering of originals played by the legendary likes of Bootsy Collins and Al Di Meola, with a generous number of bonuses carried over from the endeavor’s first record. Non-essential, if interesting.
