Description/Reviews: 

These 9 works of idiosyncratic progressive rock, were handpicked for intense vibe, organic musicianship, and musical and lyrical information on multiple levels.
Raw, and yet produced sounding at the same time, 26/UpSessions owes its unique groove again to the outstanding interplay of Marco Minnemann and Andy Kodiwein, turning each piece into a living and breathing musical performance that one would have expected on an album recorded some decades ago, rather than on one created in our edited presence.
