Nick Beggs (Steven Wilson, Lifesigns), Roger King (Steve Hackett), and drummer extraordinaire Marco Minnemann (Joe Satriani) have joined forces to deliver engaging, expansive rock that is as adventurous and diverse as it is catchy and driving. “do nothing till you hear from me” is a mercurial journey that seamlessly shifts between the realms of progressive rock and daring pop, but lyrically and conceptually discusses the dark clouds governments, corporations, media, and religious institutions form atop society: “We live in a time of heightened religious fundamentalism in which people deliver the wrath of God or speak out on his behalf,” says Nick Beggs. “When did God appoint these dubious PR men? The people in this world who should truly be listened to are often the ones who are silenced. The voice of reason seems strangely quiet in the face of so much disinformation. The Mute Gods address this imbalance.” The result is masterfully composed and arranged contemporary prog with a thoughtful and provocative approach. Guest musicians include keyboardist Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Steven Wilson), drummers Nick D’Virgilio (Spock’s Beard, Tears for Fears), Gary O’Toole (Steve Hackett, China Crisis), and multi-instrumentalist Rob Reed (Magenta).
