Lobate Scarp’s second full-length studio album “You Have It All” is an expansion to their 2019 EP “Spiralsand Portals,” interweaving previous singles “Nothing Wrong” (re-mixed) and “Beautiful Light” within the album to tell a more cohesive musicalstory. It consists of nine tracks (totaling about 66minutes in length), including “Conduit,” theirfirst fully instrumental piece, which was record live at Rich Mouser’s Mouse House Studios in Altadena, CA. Mouser, whose mixing repertoire includes Spock’s Beard, Transatlantic, and Neal Morse, returns to mix the album, and has played even a bigger role as co-producer and additional musician on several tracks. Steven Leavitt, producer of Lobate Scarp’s debut album “Time and Space” and the EP, has also returned to co-produce. Progressive Rock fans will appreciate the 17-minute finale “Flowing Through The Change” and the 14 1/2-minute title track featuring guest vocalists Jon Davison and Billy Sherwood from Yes. Modern Prog fans will also enjoy guest appearances from RyoOkumoto (Spock’s Beard) and Jimmy Keegan (Spock’sBeard, Pattern-Seeking Animals).
