    Proximal Distance is a collaboration of progressive rock groups Slychosis and Majestic. Featuring Gregg Johns (Slychosis) and Jeff Hamel (Majestic).
    Beginnings
    In summer of 2008, Gregg and Jeff began the collaboration. Slychosis and Majestic were similar in format. Both were the typical multi-instrumentalist “one man” bands. Although both bands brought in other musicians as guest artists, artistically and musically both bands were very similar in style and how they worked. The two musicians decided to try a couple of tracks as a collaboration via working over the internet, recording parts and beginning the process of building some music. It became quite clear that as the first couple of ideas started to form that the music was solid and started to take a direction on its own. It so became that an album had to be released.
    More talent.
    As the music was taking shape, Gregg and Jeff decided to bring on board some other talents on to the project. Taking on vocals was Majestic’s own Jessica Rasche. On drums and percussion two talents from the Slychosis camp, Jeremy Mitchell and Todd Sears. Also handling the release artwork is Slychosis artist Vladimir Moldavsky.
    Music
    Taking from both Gregg and Jeff’s progressive influences, the Proximal Distance sound is along the likes of Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Saga and many more 70′s style influences and should please even the most hardcore progressive rock listeners.

The Shaman 08:02
The Shaman The magic man, warrior clan, Broadsword and spell, talisman His power is known through shire and town Wielding a spell and his ancient steel Shaman, there's a bitter foe so near His evil power set to enslave men His evil power must not rule again, again, again Rally your horde prepare for war Gather your wits, you'll need it for sure His power is known through shire and town Wielding a spell and his ancient steel Evil Overlord: You shaman fool! Give up your quest, my evil has reigned for centuries! The magic you have, can't match my own You doom your horde to slavery The Shaman can win with faith Defeating the evil foe Never back down, just stand your ground And savor your victory Evil Overlord: It's not over I've just begun I'll unleash my demon Gorgon beast You should just run away and begin to pray You condemn your horde to Death Shaman: Here in this place I can understand the phrases The center that is everywhere The circumference of limitless space I am the center of my concentric ripples Organizing with my every breath Thought, feeling, reach and step Spirit is at my center Of every atom of existence Every touch of every bit of creation Limitless in the ripples and their destination The Shaman can win with faith Defeating the evil foe Never back down, just stand your ground And savor your victory

Gypsy 11:22
Gypsy We are the travelers With no destination Performing our magic With fascination We have our own laws We choose to follow We hear the call The crystals tell all I come from long ago With your all seeing eyes Tell me gypsies Which destiny is mine Tell me gypsy my destiny Tell me gypsy my destiny Come with me child I will show you the way A new life awaits you Run with the sunrise today As we travel through these lands I will teach you to fly You will see a new sign of freedom Guided by the stars in the sky As the days begin to pass Reason will grow inside you Learn the ways of mother earth and she will let your dreams come true I am reason, I found a way I am the seasons, I am true today You have the magic You have the way You will dream You are free

Contemplation I see the tide approaching I see the waves ahead I see the sand behind me I see all that is left As time is moving forward I see the look in your eyes It stays with me I see the things forgotten I see what we didn't say I see tomorrow morning mist I see the moon in the day As time is moving forward I see the look in your eyes It stays with me As time is moving forward I see the look in your eyes I see you look away It stays with me

Flashback To Now (A Hippy's Lament) Flashing back to another time and place Fuzztone axes, colors dancing on my face I dare not stay here but this is a groovy place I'm not ready to flashback to now and leave this happening scene that I've found I'm not ready to flashback to now Now debt, anger and fear I need a break, a break from here Overworked and not much time I need a place to ease my mind Too much suffering, too much decline I need to groove and trip sometimes Just you and me baby in our own scene I know you know, you know what I mean I'm not ready to flashback to now and leave this happening scene that I've found I'm not ready to flashback to now Facebook, twitter and crap online I need a break, a break this time Information overload, you just got mail I need to leave this modern hell Everybody sits around with phones in their hands But they're not talking and they don't care I wanna go back to a hipper time Where people groove and they expand their minds Take me back, all the way home Down the long and winding road I'm not ready to flashback to now and leave this happening scene that I've found I'm not ready to flashback to now I'm not ready to flashback to now I'm not ready to flashback to now

Deep Space Intermission “Am I dreaming? Is this what's become of the past? Or what happened in the future?” Are we dreaming in the past Are we seeing the future Time is now, then and before Moving through the stages Racing through the ages Standing still on the hands That seal the fate of all

Leaves Fall 03:50
Leaves Fall Crisp cool air Falling leaves And smells That fill the air With distant Summer memories The roads glow An orange and red show As the trees Prepare to Rest a while Tiny feet Stomping through The leaves Making such a Familiar sound Autumn is here Autumn is here I remember, I remember That day I got the call I remember, I remember Felt my world crumble and fall I remember, I remember Holding you in my arms I remember, I remember It was too late, just too late I remember, I remember Surrounded by strange eyes I remember, I remember They looked down at you and I I remember, I remember They had to pull me away I remember, I remember That sad autumn day Can't remember, can't remember What is my name Can't remember, can't remember The shape of your face

Journey Of Truth Lost in strange darkness Barefoot in tall grass I search for a truth Hidden deep within the mist They all come here To find their own way The water like fine wine Helps blur confusion away Away But don't wait to long The dragon's eye is watching everyone Fight, you must fight You are the chosen one to guard the light And they need you You are the only one that knows the truth Don't hesitate Don't let the storybook decide your fate The story had been written So many years before Your only choice is living Like so many did before There was no one quite like you The journey of your truth The journey of the truth The journey of the … There was no one quite like you The journey of your truth

Coherence 07:54
Coherence Desynchronous lines Denote a state of fear Fueled by adrenaline Allostasis is clear Very low frequency Respiration high My heart is racing Limbic system awry I need coherence to save my body and to save my mind Save my mind Give me coherence, serenity and peace Can now be mine It shall be mine Entrainment happening Resonant frequency found Interbeat intervals Cortisol is shutdown Alpha waves abounding As I hit the zone I need coherence to save my body and to save my mind Save my mind Give me coherence, serenity and peace Can now be mine It shall be mine I think more clearly, my brain is alive I see more clearly, my breath is my guide The cross-coherence you feel it too Cross-coherence it's happened to you Serenity is mine, now that I can see It's mine now that I can see

Expanding Universe New event on the horizon Fade in before our eyes Abundance of thought We are lost in Closing the distance As we rise Linear points Mark the lines ahead We move and plot the course Disregarding the words they said We move on through the doors Coming back to the place I seen before Looking at the way the mind will soar Reaching out to find a better way Turn around no more yesterdays
