31 Jul 2011

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 11 October 2005 – Floating World is a new album from Sonic Pulsar mastermind Hugo Flores. Hugo Flores: “Project Creation is my most ambitious project, not only regarding the number and quality of the involved musicians, but also in terms of storyline, music depth, and overall production. The mixes have been carefully crafted, and the compositions were sculpted around each step in the storyline for this first album called Floating World. It's was a true privilege to be able to count on such wonderful musicians, such as Linx from Forgotten Suns. Hugo continues, “The best was yet to come however. To embellish this, Progrock Records heard the material and decided to support this project. It's a true honor to be a part of such a great label that really looks after its artist. To be on the same label like, for example, Frameshift and artists like James LaBrie, it’s just awesome. I’m a big fan of James and Dream Theatre. I've been following the steps of Progrock since its beginning, and I always respected the way the label grew, fast becoming one the most well known and respected label's worldwide focusing on progressive rock. This is surely due to the perseverance of Shawn Gordon, with whom I've been in contact for quite sometime. From what I was able to read in the Boston Globe interviews, Shawn’s ideas are very similar to mine considering progressive rock one of the most rich genres music could offer. Shawn always demonstrated to be a very pleasant person, and always ready to help. The fact that Shawn enjoyed the album and concept so much, couldn’t make me happier.”. “I’d become friends with Hugo over the years with his work as Sonic Pulsar, so I was very curious to hear this project he was telling me about, and WOW, this is really an incredible work in both its quality and scope of story telling, I really am glad we got them in the family”, Shawn Gordon, President of ProgRock Records said. ”Floating World” is the ProgRock Records debut release from Hugo Flores and Project Creation, and can be found at http://www.therecordlabel.net/progressive-rock/project-creation/. This is an album that is epic in scope and engaging for the mind and ears. It tells the story of a dying planet, whose advanced civilization develops a world-like ship, capable of carrying a great deal of the population. In the beginning, this ship leaves the planet, with about 40% of the population, in search of a possible World to live in. The story follows them through their journey and work. The album will be released in late 2005.
