Synopsis

Product Description

Under The Sun exploded onto the scene in 2000 with their debut release from Magna Carta that was produced by the band and mixed by Terry Brown of Rush fame. The recording has garnered strong reviews overall and was hailed as Record Of The Year in Holland and has received a 4.5 out of 5 rating from Amazon.com. Unsolicted commentary from Amazon buyers include: Few freshmen releases are this accomplished . Under The Sun (UTS) is one of recorded music s best kept secret gems . What a great disc!!! Excellent production, astounding musicianship, great songwriting...

Schematism ~ Onstage With Under The Sun is culled from the band s performance in 2001 at the NEARfest music festival, held yearly in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and has been mixed by producer/engineer Brad Aaron (of Kansas fame). This recording is unlike any other stereo live disc you ve heard before. The stereo-imaging of the traditionally-recorded live setting has been reversed... This album is not one of those live CD s that puts you in the crowd, away from the stage... This CD is different. There is much more stereo detail here... All the detail of being onstage with the band. Here s what people are saying: This is an amazing live album, I ve never heard anything done like this with a live recording, the performance by the band is also top notch, the playing is tight and the vocals are true... ...I loved their first album and have been anxiously awaiting a new release from them; with this live disc we get a great performance that gives the older material new life, not to mention the previously-unreleased epic track Souljourner ... If that song is any indication then the next studio album is going to be killer!... Beautifully packaged, featuring an original cover portrait by legendary Kansas member Kerry Livgren, detailed liner notes and a powerful one-take UTS performance of stunning sonic depth and clarity, this new release is guaranteed to get your blood flowing, blow back whatever hair you have left on your head, and put you onstage with Under The Sun!!!

Live with Under The Sun

"Scematism is a grand representation of the LIVE POWER and stage presence of California based band Under The Sun. Taken from live at NearFest 2000. Being blessed to have seen Under The Sun on numerous occations throughout LA this disc is a great representation of their live shows. Under the Sun as a live band is truly made for big venues, they take control of the stage with confidence, hold the audience with their intelligent yet powerful song writing and musicianship. Scematism represnts live versions of Under The Sun's first self titled CD. with one new song that will show whats to come in the next studio offering from this great band. Just listen to the amazing guitar work on Dreamcatcher and your hooked. But throughout their live performance you not only hear their brilliance but feel it! These 4 guys, now 3 really ROCK progressively, not progressively rock. ITS GREAT AIR GUITAR AMMUNITION, AIR BASS BOMBASSITY, AIR DRUMMING IMPOSSIBILITY BECAUSE PAUL IS TRULY ONE OF THE GREAT DRUMMERS I HAVE EVER SEEN........keybordist Matt Evidon is great, but is no longer with the band. I have seen the trio, they still ROCK MY WORLD! BUY THIS DISC NOW!

HEADPHONES ARE RECOMMENDED DUE TO THE AMAZING MIX BY BRAD AARON WHEN YOU READ THE LINER NOTES YOU'LL KNOW WHY HEADPHONES, AFTER YOU LISTEN YOU'LL BE HOOKED.

SO WAKE UP UNDER THE SUN, AND GET A GREAT SUN TAN ONLY THESE GUYS CAN SUPPLY"

"My description can't compete with the other review, but it's easier to understand: this is a really cool CD. I've never been on stage, I don't know how to compare this, but this is like surround sound, great for headphones,an innovative way to record music. The bass at the beginning of Tracer is stuck in my head."
