"Bernard and Pörsti” - “Gulliver”
This musical spin-off from The Samurai of Prog reaches its completion in the “Bernard and Pörsti” project with “Gulliver”, a concept album inspired by the character’s travels as told by Jonathan Swift that maintains the style and the DNA of the original band.
The “third samurai”, Steve Unruh, is still present – even though in only one track – and will be soon re-joining the others for a new record on which TSoP are already working, “The Chronicles”, inspired to the Chronicles of Narnia.
“Gulliver” includes the following 6 tracks:
Overture XI
Lilliput Suite (Part I - Lilliput)
The Giants (Part II - Brobdingnag)
The Land of the Fools (Part III - Laputa, Balnibarbi, Glubbdubdrib, Luggnagg and Japan)
Gulliver’s Fourth Travel (Part IV – The land of the Houyhnhnm)
