Have you heard that Phish is calling it quits? Of course you have. Did you hear the new musical confirmation that this is a good thing? No? Then get Undermind and you'll understand.

Phish frontman Trey Anastasio’s third official solo release finds him in an orchestral mood, offering up dramatic re-workings of Phish songs and new originals. He plays on only two of the album’s seven tracks, preferring instead to focus on writing, arranging and conducting the classical musicians at his disposal. His last two records, 2001’s Trey Anastasio and 2003’s double-live Plasma, were deep funk explorations recorded with his powerhouse solo band. This fully instrumental cd explores his music in an entirely different setting, and despite clocking in at only 29 minutes, each moment is infused with his singular musical vision.

One of the most recognizable names in entertainment, Toots Hibbert is considered a founding artist of reggae music. Returning to the studio with his legendary band The Maytals, Hibbert reminds listeners of his influential musical life on the new album True Love. While some may view this album's cavalcade of special guests as an attempt by the aging Hibbert to cash in on star power, it is far from an anomaly. Hibbert has always been as much of a collaborator as he has been a force of his own. With that in mind, it is impossible not to salivate at the list of performers on True Love. It is easy to see that everyone who participates here has been influenced by Hibbert. Also included are tracks with some of his past collaborators.

Attention Phish Fans, longtime friend Tom Marshall returns with his second Amfibian album entitled From the Ether. The album definitely has a Phish feel to it. Though this time the group is completely different, Marshall still puts out the same general sound which has made him so popular.
