In the first installment of this series, Andrew Reed dives deep into the heart of his concept album Dominance & Control — an EPIC, philosophical rock story that explores the human desire for power, and control, as well as risk. Blending mythology, sci-fi, and rock and roll, Andrew introduces the album through the first three songs of the record: “Pulsar,” “Crossing the Rubicon,” and “Thunder in My Soul.”
