Spock's Beard

About

Spock's Beard is the ninth studio album by American progressive rock band Spock's Beard. On September 21st, 2006, Dave Meros added the tentative tracklist to the band's website, and said the following regarding the album's title: "As you probably know by now, we're calling our 9th studio release simply "Spock's Beard." No big heavy reasoning behind that, really, it just seemed like a cool thing to do. (Of course, you are more than welcome to help us invent some heavy philosophical or hidden meaning so we'll have something interesting to say in interview...) There are a few cool song titles that could have become the CD title (see below) but we've done that a lot before. Then there is the obvious "SB9" and it's variation, or the clever play on words thing, like "nein" or "asinine" or something like that." Like its predecessors "A Guy Named Sid" (from Feel Euphoria) and "A Flash Before My Eyes" (from Octane), the individual sections of "As Far as the Mind Can See" are divided into separate tracks on the album. Track listing "On a Perfect Day" (Nick D'Virgilio, Alan Morse, Stan Ausmu, John Boegehold) – 7:47 "Skeletons at the Feast" (Dave Mero, Boegehold) – 6:33 "Is This Love" (D'Virgilio) – 2:51 "All That's Left" (Mero, Boegehold) – 4:45 "With Your Kiss" (D'Virgilio) – 11:46 "Sometimes They Stay, Sometimes They Go" (Mero, Ausmus) – 4:31 "The Slow Crash Landing Man" (Mero, Boegehold) – 5:47 "Wherever You Stand" (D'Virgilio, Ryo Okumoto) – 5:09 "Hereafter" (Okumoto, Boegehold) – 5:01 "As Far as the Mind Can See" (Mero, Boegehold) – 17:10 Part 1 - Dreaming in the Age of Answers – 4:49 Part 2 - Here's a Man – 3:28 Part 3 - They Know We Know – 3:18 Part 4 - Stream of Unconsciousness – 5:23 "Rearranged" (D'Virgilio) – 6:07 Personnel Nick D'Virgilio – lead and backing vocal, drum, timpani, percussion, electric and acoustic guitars Alan Morse – electric and acoustic guitar, backing vocal, lead vocals on "Sometimes They Stay, Sometimes They Go" Ryo Okumoto – keyboard, backing vocals Dave Meros – bass guitar, bass synth, sitar, backing vocals with Stan Ausmus - song co-writer .
