O’s Notes: Barry Cleveland is a guitarist, singer, writer and producer who likes pushing the envelope. He’s in his element on Hologramatron, a collection of 13 songs with provocative vocals. The core band is Barry with Robert Powell (g), Michael Manring (b), Celso Alberti (d) and Amy X Neuburg (vocals). The music is a blend of rock and jazz with strong beats. There are a few instrumentals notably “Abandoned Mines”. Harry Manx sings “Stars of Sayulita” and Artist General sings “Warning”. Cleveland will appeal to the progressive rock set.
