about

Opportunity Crosses The Bridge, the band's second release, has a strong rock feel which deftly avoids the mindlessness which much contemporary rock has degenerated into. By taking the power and aggression of rock and applying more adventurous compositional techniques than most rock music gets treated to, Forever Einstein produces energized music that you can feel AND think about. The Connecticut-based group was founded in 1989. All three members have backgrounds in rock, blues, and other types of popular music. Opportunity Crosses the Bridge was produced by guitarist Nick Didkovsky of Doctor Nerve.

"...crammed with spiky Euro-rock melodies... imagine the Minutemen playing Henry Cow charts."
-Rolling Stone.

"A genuinely individual voice: simple and complex at once"
- Chris Cutler

No idea where these guys got the idea they were playing jazz fusion. This is 70s/80s prog rock down the line. Gorgeous stuff. Went well with the OSC I had on just before, too. Peter Jones

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
