 | WARREN DALE-THE BURDEN OF DUPLICITY(2003) Warren's 1st solo cd. A collection of very forward-looking pieces, mostly modern/avant classical in nature. Rock In Opposition fans will enjoy this immensely. |
 | TRAP-INSURRECTION (2001) The 2nd cd by this group, and the 1st to be considered a group effort compositionally. Consisting of former CARTOON/PFS drummer Gary Parra, and French TV members Warren Dale (keys/woodwinds) and Chris Smith (anything with strings), plus a few special guests, this picks up where Gary's previous bands left off. Crazed, and FUN! |
 | INFINITY (released by SYN-PHONIC, 1996) Infinity was a progressive band Warren was part of in the late 70's-early '80s. This is a collection of tracks recorded during those years. Very much grounded in the "70s Ameri-prog" sound, similar to bands like Cathedral, Mirthrandir, Easter Island, Babylon, and the like. |
 | BEYOND INFINITY- MOTHER EARTH (2009) Much-anticipated follow-up to the Infinity cd featuring most of the same people, plus former French TV guitarist/violinist Chris Smith joining the mix. Retains some of the retro-prog characteristics of the previous cd, but will also appeal to fans of modern prog such as the Flower Kings, Magic Pie, Moon Safari, etc. |
