10/18/05 Temporary Power releases new album THE TOWER MUST FALL: West Palm Beach, Fl- Once I got the idea for the Tower Must Fall, everything flowed pretty well together. As a matter of fact, the dream of working with Bill MacKechnie (Anubis Spire) became a very real and awesome reality. says Mike Ward of TEMPORARY POWER. With both men founders of progressive rock based music projects with the roots of their respective music's steeped deeply in mysticism, it was a match made in heaven from any musical perspective. THE TOWER MUST FALL is TEMPORARY POWER'S 9th album. It features 10 new compositions and special guest appearances by some of the legends of the independent progressive movement. One new song, THE MONUMENT OF THE NEW KING, has become a trilogy based music epic featuring the soloing work of Bill MacKechnie (Anubis Spire) in parts II and III of the trilogy: The song had its beginning (Part I) in last years album, the Abyss, featuring Deitrich Sanders (Atomic Light Intrusion) on drums and Randy Powell (Parallel Redemption) on the bass guitar. Mike explains, "Monument of the New King is now a 3 part instrumental, which to me, brings forth all sorts of images of monuments and obelisks put in place by a new king, government, pharaoh or dictator. And we all know how that goes when a new one enters the old ones go out. So there is tons of energy in something like that. But actually I went a little further in my mind I thought about the monuments and pyramids on Mars and I speculated about vicious battles between tribes on Mars that could have taken place over a half a million years ago. Both Mike and Bill believe that music collaboration via the internet will lead to more and more interesting musical pairings and might even soon breed entirely cyber-linked "Super Groups." "We are reaching a point in the evolution where desktop studios allow for these dream collaborations between artists to take place, even 1800 miles away!" said Mike. I have always been into Anubis Spire and when Bill asked me to do solo work on a simply majestic piece of music called ALL PERCEPTION IS WRONG. I was thrilled to say the least! I asked Bill if I could remix it and put it on the new The Tower Must Fall album as an instrumental piece. When he gave me the green light with his ole energetic, 'yes okay go for it!', needless to say, I was thrilled and I definitely think there is a win-win scenario attached to this very unique musical experience for the creators of the song and the contributors alike. When asked for comment, Bill MacKechnie said "Mike has been one of my all time favorite guitarists since I heard the first TEMPORARY POWER CD. We had discussed working together a few years back but a family crisis on my end, unfortunately, side-tracked the idea. I'm so glad we were able to hook up again and get this ball rolling. I think that THE TOWER MUST FALL is an awesome album and I'm extremely proud to be a part of it!" Mike Ward lives with his many guitars all over his small West Palm Beach house, tripping over them and the amps and the cabinets filled with a vast array of effects and a computer work station that looks .well dangerous. Song titles align the bulletin board and guitar and recording magazines are slewn all over the coffee table. Why? Because this is Mikes life as a music fanatic! What can I say he is really into it! Mike spends his days splitting his time with his very patient family and teaching music and engineering his pet music project, Temporary Power since 1997. "The Tower Must Fall" is Temporary Power's 9th album since the project's inception in 1997. Mike is also always interested in collaborating with like-minded musicians and can be contacted at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
