The Ancestry Program – Mysticeti Ambassadors Part I (CD)
This is a Progressive Promotion Records release.
Part One of The Ancestry Program’s magnum opus consisting of Mysticeti Ambassadors Part I and continuing on Of Silent Mammalia Part II.
The loose concept of the albums follows the baleen whale from part 1, who realises it’s their task to save the planet, since no other species seems to be able - or willing - to do so. In between, there are songs dealing with various aspects of modern-day life. The story ends with a seemingly happy end, but ultimately, this will be left to the eye, or rather the ear, of the beholder to decide.
