San Francisco Bay Area composer and instrumentalist Michael P. Dawson presents Paleozoic, an album of musical contemplations of the period when complex life forms first emerged on our planet. The album is arranged in two distinct halves. The first part features five intricately composed pieces combining elements of progressive rock, contemporary classical, and electronica. The second part is more abstract, ambient, and atmospheric—five sound paintings of an ancient earth. The spectacular cover art by Mike Menasco reflects the album’s theme with its depiction of a teeming undersea fauna of half a billion years ago.

Paleozoic is available on CD and as a digital download now, with a vinyl version to follow. Buy it here: https://store.cdbaby.com/Artist/MichaelPDawson" rel="nofollow -

"A fascinating concept record from composer/multi-instrumentalist Michael P. Dawson...Part 1 gets off to a strong start with 'Extinction Event,' a tight four-minute piece with Lalo Schifrin-esque swagger evoking a 1960s-vintage mystery film. 'Dimetrodon' delivers soaring melodic guitar over a plodding, thunderous backdrop evocatively nailing the album title. Jazzy fourth track 'The Heaventree of Stars' lowers the intensity with some sweet Chick Corea-style piano. Starting with 'The Burgess Shale,' Part 2 explores ambient and experimental territories, remaining there for the duration...Most impressive is the fact this all comes from one man's imagination and instrumental acumen." - Jim Cirile, Progression

I haven't properly listened to it yet, but I loved what I heard from the samples (possibly a Bandcamp page?), which is why I bought it! I think I got it from CD Baby if I recall
