Prog Ensemble Cymbalic Encounters To Release “Incandescent Spirits”

“Incandescent Spirits” features a mixture of prog-vocal and instrumental songs that are in the tradition of the experimental side of Cymbalic Encounters.

Drummer/Composer, Mark Murdock says, “These works are considered to be the sister album of my recently released title “Electricus.” Rather than releasing a double album, it was necessary to split the tracks.”

Album Tracks:

  1. Exploring Minds in the Vastness of Possibilities
  2. Electro-Luminescence Pulse
  3. Incandescent Spirits
  4. Voltaic Currents
  5. A Surge in Electricity
  6. Random Reaction
  7. Electrolytes
  8. Electrical Permittivity
  9. When Sparks Ignite
  10. The Disappearing Future
