Dear Friends,
The Nova Project has just been reviewed on the noted Prog website, ProGGnosis (USA) regarding their “official bootleg” CD, Live at Café Acoustic.

ProGGnosis cited, “… the extraordinary craftsmanship in the guitar parts which clearly dominates the album, makes it a good investment. …you cannot go wrong here.”

The Nova Project is an avant-garde “classical prog” ensemble featuring Anthony Glise, Jason Riley [guitars] James Kew [6-string electric ‘cello] and Nick Baker [percussion].
