So…. “The Dreamer – Joseph: Part One” concluded with Joseph unjustly imprisoned. In “The Restoration – Joseph: Part Two,” the biblical narrative unfolds, chronicling how Joseph’s wisdom and intelligence led him to become the viceroy of Egypt and, to the eventual reunion with his family.
The second installment in the Joseph story shocked me! I wish you could hear the development… Where it started to where it ended up! Pretty crazy, how it all developed largely with the help of other artists. I won’t get into naming names because I would have to name all of them, but friends and brothers (literally!) really brought a lot to the table on this one and I am absolutely thrilled with the way ‘The Restoration’ turned out. I hope you guys love it as much as I loved making it!
So you’ll hear: Nick D’Virgilio (Big Big Train, Spock’s Beard), Ted Leonard (Spock’s Beard, Pattern Seeking Animals), Matt Smith (Theocracy), Ross Jennings (Haken), Jake Livgren (Proto-Kaw, Kansas) and Alan Morse (Spock’s Beard), plus members of NMB, Bill Hubauer and Eric Gillette, among others.
