Riffstone - Great Journeys (2026)

Great Journeys is a concept-driven progressive rock album exploring the spirit of human exploration—across continents, oceans, history, and beyond the Earth itself. Each track represents a different journey, blending rich storytelling with expansive musical landscapes.
From the elegance of The Orient Express to the desolation of South Pole, and the cosmic ambition of Red Horizon, the album traces both physical and emotional voyages, culminating in the reflective closer The Maps Are Fading to White.

"Great Journeys is another concept-driven release exploring the spirit of human exploration – across continents,
oceans, history and beyond the Earth itself. Each track represents a different journey, with Colin and Dave creating
textured, cinematic, progressive rock soundscapes with layered musicianship and dense, evocative storytelling lyrics.
Once again there is vibrant guitar and keyboard interplay, with balancing power and restraint, with both sharing
guitar, bass, keyboard and vocals duties as usual. The result is a mix of classic-era prog with more contemporary
nuances and even some accessible pop sensibilities."
- David Edwards for The Progressive Aspect

"Prog’s version of the dynamic duo, Batman and Robin have found new clothes ! 75 minutes of eye-closing displacement, a series of stories and soundtracks, chords and words that takes one somewhere faraway from the maddening routine of our ultra-busy lives. We should all be thankful to have such musical entertainment in our midst. "
- The Prog Rogue

"Ì have really enjoyed this album of great music to portray the great Journey's of life and its deep appreciation for life."
