Thunder avid new listeners since its original debut. Sleeping Thunder's dedicated fan base on
Jango Radio approaches 200 and is steadily climbing. The album may be variously labeled as world music, new-age music, or even simply instrumental music, but its warm, raw, natural tones are likely to appeal to fans of virtually any genre or category.
Sleeping
Thunder cites as main artistic influences the popular jazz legend, Paul Winter, the gurus of experimental and psychedelic rock, Tangerine Dream, and multi-instrumentalist and grammy-award-winning composer and performer, "
Weird" Al Yankovic. While certain elements of creativity and ingenuity appear in the works of these artists and also in the multifarious sounds of "Still Lost, in Thought," Sleeping Thunder's LP is a collection bearing great individuality and character, and cannot be described in derivations.
Asked to explain any inherent themes, motifs and messages in "Still Lost, in Thought," Sleeping
