When the kidnapping of a child brings a trio of old space war buddies back together to foil the crime, they unearth a greater evil, one that threatens to rock the galaxy! How strong is Semper Fidelity when the stakes involve the corruption of honor?
A unique collaboration between musical maestro Glenn Adams and sci-fi storyteller Matt Howarth. A thrilling graphic story in full color--and 55 minutes of exciting music inspired by the tale--all together on the same compact disc.
"An engrossing soundscape that's majestic, fun, intense and campy." -- Keyboard Magazine, August 2007

Lightyears From Home
Lightyears From Home is a compilation CD featuring tracks from Galactic Anthems, Abstract Circuitry, Semper Fidelity and Subterranean Transit.

Subterranean Transit
This album from Galactic Anthems features 10 tracks varying from deep space drones to energetic tracks of propulsion.
"There's a considerable amount of power and authority in this music. Half of that vitality comes from the demonstrative percussion that propels these tracks, but a fair degree is directly attributable to Adams' epic compositions and his robust performance." --SonicCuriosity.com

Before The Drone
A collection of 14 instrumental tracks, recorded in the early '90's in the prog-rock and electronic orchestral style.
"Stunning keyboards deliver robust melodies capable of bringing down the house with their remarkable zest. Marching riffs belt out with astounding scale, dwarfing the earth itself with their monumental proportion. Majestic pinnacles resound with monstrous puissance, transforming every instant into a sonic epiphany." -- SonicCuriosity.com

Abstract Circuitry
Intricate rhythm structures, ethereal harmonies, tribal grooves and deep space drones are just part of Abstract Circuitry, the second release of Galactic Anthems.
"Deep listeners will hear, feel and see the clues in the bright chrome imagery. The textures are harsh and stark. The space is cold. The vacuums are empty. The circuitry has no pattern.
This wonderful CD has vivid imagery and deep mystery. It is highly recommended!" -- AmbientVisions.com
 
Galactic Anthems
Unearthly soundscapes, ethereal atmospheres, primeval drones, and evocative orchestrations make up the first release of electronic ambient artist Galactic Anthems.
"The whole album is done with lightness and, in places, a kind of spacey charm. Its the work of someone who knows his electronic heritage and has obviously had a lot of fun working with it." -- eer-music.com

"There's a considerable amount of power and authority in this music. Half of that vitality comes from the demonstrative percussion that propels these tracks, but a fair degree is directly attributable to Adams' epic compositions and his robust performance.
The electronics are potent and captivating. Stalwart keyboards pummel the audience with sweeping chords and dynamic expressions. Nimble fingers evoke invigorating melodies from the keys. This stuff is deeply rooted in progressive sensibilities, so the riffs are complex and vibrant. Contemporary electronic stylings are employed too, generating expansive textures and haunting cycles, but the bulk of the tuneage is comprised of commanding keyboard intricacy. -- Matt Howarth on Subterranean Transit
"A powerful vision of desolate places and slightly ominous explorations opens into vistas of shimmering beauty, multi-dimensional yet stark somehow. Abstract Circuitry is a very satisfying piece of space artistry that will make you think and feel as you travel to sights unseen & places that only one's vivid imagination can conjure up."--- Lloyd Barde
"Glenn Adams creates wondrous sounds and monumental soundscapes as Galactic Anthems. Abstract Circuitry is his second CD and it is hot! Glenn uses lots of different sounds all synth and electronic to generate sci-fi atmospheres with metallic textures. His atmospheres and soundscapes have symphonic qualities. This wonderful CD has vivid imagery and deep mystery. It is highly recommended!" -- Jim Brenholts
"The title track mixes pulsating rhythms with dreamy keyboards, generating a mildly energized voyage through a realm where exposed circuitry stretches through the interstellar void. A sense of urgency permeates the tune, achieved with surging diodes expressing a pattern of non-impact beats that exude a pleasant tension. Textures purr like churning stars in the distance." -- Matt Howarth on Abstract Circuitry
"The salient feature of this album is how many of the pieces are very evocative. Take "Madness" for example; this features a gentle background rhythm over which unsettling sounds and voices convey a sense of being in a mentally dark and unpredictable place. Another is "Sunrise at Sheep Pass" on which shimmering, calmly shiny, and slowly rousing synths help make one imagine the rising sun spreading colour and light." -- Dene Bebbington
"Galactic Anthems is a great album, sure to appeal to ambient and spacemusic fans." -- Dene Bebbington
"Its the work of someone who knows his electronic heritage and has obviously had a lot of fun working with it. -- Hannah M.G. Shapero"
"The astral voyage afforded by Galactic Anthems is an experience laced with rewarding surprises." -- Matt Howarth
"Here, Adams exhibits a different side of his creativity with instrumental progrock tunes that rock with strapping power. Stunning keyboards deliver robust melodies capable of bringing down the house with their remarkable zest. Marching riffs belt out with astounding scale, dwarfing the earth itself with their monumental proportion. Majestic pinnacles resound with monstrous puissance, transforming every instant into a sonic epiphany." -- Matt Howarth on Before The Drone
