In 2000 Carl Groves, the force behind popular prog artist Salem Hill, decided to take a few months and do a solo album. The goal was to "branch" out a bit and play all the instruments and do things quicker than happens in the band setting. Here you will find Carl indulging in his various influences such as King's X, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Kansas, The Beatles, Klaatu and even The Chieftens.
