Colonel Jeffrey Pumpernickel (MP3)
The brainchild of Chris Slusarenko, who played in such bands as SPRINKLER and SVELT, COLONEL JEFFREY PUMPERNICKEL-A CONCEPT ALBUM features songs based on chapters of a story Slusarenko wrote for the project. He then broke the narrative into 16 parts, which he gave to the following musicians and artists to create original works for this massive epic. Follow the Colonel through his allergy released hallucinations, his out in the real world adventures, his place in the great underwater fire battle and ultimate demise.
