Melodic Revolution Records is thrilled to announce the upcoming release \u201cChasing the Lesser Light\u201d by US Symphonic Prog band Kinetic Element.
\u201cChasing the Lesser Light\u201d is a sixty-minute symphonic prog journey through human\u2019s desire to explore space. From the lunar missions of 50 years ago to the present-day planning for a journey to Mars.
Says Keyboardist Mike Visaggio,\u00a0\u201cAfter four years KE has finally completed our fifth CD (4th in the studio) entitled\u00a0\u2018Chasing The Lesser Light.\u2019\u00a0We’re also heading for Chepstow Wales in the UK for our first European show, and we’re pretty excited about it. Our guitarist Peter Matuchniak had the idea to do a CD with a concept honoring all the people who worked together to make the Gemini and Apollo launches a reality. Once again we are releasing our project on Melodic Revolution Records and it was released on March 20, 2023 with artwork by Man In The Mountain\u2019s Martin Kornick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
