Whore's Breakfast by The Rebel Wheel
Whore's Breakfast is a concept album; a seedy gritty city album; an album about love, excess, obsessions and substance abuse; an album about coffee and cigarettes and the self-destructive denizens of the outer fringes of the art scene and drug world.
Based around the core sound of guitar bass and drums, Whore's Breakfast takes a decidedly punk attitude towards prog and jazz. The sound is relentless but tempered with the softer contrasts of five-part vocal harmonies, chord melody jazz guitar pieces and a myriad of keyboard textures, all of which serve to create dramatic contrasts and some moments of peaceful illuminated clarity against the otherwise sweaty frenetic head-trip.

Steeped in dark cinematic soundscapes and complex, turn-on-a-dime arrangements, The Rebel Wheel features a frenetic mix of rock aggression, complex compositions and unpredictable odd-meter vamps. Originally formed in 1991 as a fusion-based midi ensemble, the floating lineup has gradually focused on a modern, more performance-oriented, genre-blending Prog.
