I'm diggin' it personally, especially Peacekeeper. I think it's Jimmy's best work to date. Marco's a beast on this one. a buddy of mine who plays drums has become friends with Jimmy. they've met and talked about collaborating on some tunes. whether or not that will actually happen is still up in the air. Pitts only lives a few hours away from here. if you like extreme/tech progressive metal, The Immortality Murder from Scholomance is certainly worth a listen....as is The Fractured Dimension - Towards The Mysterium (2009) Galaxy Mechanics (2015), Christian Muenzner - Beyond The Wall Of Sleep (2014), Eternity's End - The Fire Within (2016), Hannes Grossmann - The Radial Covenant (2014). he was also a guest musician on Spastic Ink - Ink Compatible (2004).
cheers
edit...I forgot about Pitt's first band Super-String-Theory (instrumental progressive metal/fusion). they were all from the Springfield, Mo area. their first release, Swimming in the Dutch Mordant (2003) is pretty damned good. I think Jimmy only contributed to a couple tracks on the 2nd one. w/o Pitts, they released An Invention For Times Like These in 2013 as a trio and are at least writing material for a new one.
