Discipline. - Chaos Out Of Order (1988) {2013, 25th Anniversary Reissue}

Discipline are an independent rock band from Detroit. They have performed and recorded together for over 25 years on their indie label, Strung Out Records. Chaos Out of Order (1988) was Discipline's first full length release. During its twenty-five years out-of-print, the album became the most sought-after and elusive of the band's recordings. This twenty-five year remastered edition includes an earlier track, Peacemaker, recorded by the same lineup in 1987. The line-up was Matthew Parmenter on vocals and multiple instruments, Jon Preston Bouda on guitars and Woody Saunders on bass.Fantastic Neo/Symphonic Prog with darker passages and Classical/symphonic influences all over, similar to early IQ, and the biggest surprise comes from the consistent use of acoustic piano and organ over the synths, we are talking about 1988 here! Excellent songwriting with Parmenter' early voice talents on full display and long tracks with beautiful instrumental themes and great variety, there is also some violin exhibition to be found.Solid till the very end.
