Frost* – Hyperventilate

16th June, 2009 by Chewbacca

Frost* - Milliontown Jem Godfrey, a British music producer, was responsible for several pop hits, such as songs by Atomic Kitten and Holly Valance. However, do not let this news misguide you – Jem Godfrey’s progressive rock band, Frost*, is as far from the cheese-factor of these songs. However, with such an extensive period producing pop songs, he has brought his experience of creating catchy riffs and elements to progressive rock. Frost* was formed in 2004 with members of other popular prog-rock bands, Arena, Kino and IQ. In 2006, they put out their first album, “Milliontown”, a masterpiece in neo-progressive rock ending in an awesome twenty-six minute song. As is often the case with progressive rock, the length is often a hindrance to introducing a band. However, today’s track – the first on the album is a brilliant instrumental introduction to the band which reveals the awesome talents of the band. Although Frost* split up in 2007, they reformed last year and released a second album, “Experiments in Mass Appeal” which is also well worth a listen. For now, enjoy today’s track, “Hyperventilate”:
