“A masterpiece in the Epic Prog tradition.” – Progressive Magazine Many prog-rock albums celebrate epic myths and conceptual narratives. Wonder Reborn follows in that tradition. It is expansive, experimental, enthusiastic and uplifting. The scope of this collection is invigorating, a testament to the best aspects of bewilderment and efflorescence. But, unlike most prog endeavors, this one goes through older school eras of blues, folk and lullabies, ending with a sense of Americana, hard won through life’s trials. This new 3-volume release, which includes many of remastered hits from the previous albums, the father-son team of Tobin and Anton Mueller combine their best songwriting, expanding their Prog Rock sound into Progressive Americana. Tobin’s son, Anton, was the lead singer in Mueller’s prog band Audiocracy. Since then, Anton blossomed into a compelling songwriter, himself. As the collection continues, it showcases more and more of Anton’s new work. The three volumes are organized by Three Stages of Life. Vol. 1’s theme: “A Young Man’s music: touching on themes of revolution, love, hope, defining one’s self.” Vol. 2 focuses on “A Laborer’s Music,” and Vol. 3 reflects “A Maturing Man’s Music.”
