I have a friend who has worked with Sturmer on a full album project post-Jellyfish. Says that Andy's contributions were remarkable and that he really lived up to his reputation for excellence.
I wish Andy would actually release something. I have kids that like Scooby Doo, so I have heard a lot of the stuff he has done for the various shows/movies. Some of that stuff is more Archies than Jellyfish, but it would nice if some of that stuff was given a full release. This was for a different show, but I would take an album of this type of stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAwZhHDA0n8
Go Big indeed! Great song even if Andy's voice sounds VERY different. There were other Sturmer songs floating around TY, The Angel Made Me do It, The Beginning Of the End, Holding Out For Something Better, Liquid Casanova, Our Last Goodbye, & The Widowers Song. Don't know the origins but solid stuff.
Yikes, I would never believe that was Andy's voice if he didn't say it on the page. It sounds nothing like him.
The structure is pure Jellyfish though.
Too bad the Lickerish Quartet broke up. 3/4 of the Spilt Milk era lineup (missing Andy) cranking out arguably the closest stuff to Jellyfish that any of the alums have to date.

Both are excellent, but Spilt Milk is more consistent and also flows well lyrically from start to finish. And I prefer the sound quality of that one. I do like Jason Falkner's solo albums quite a bit, where he also gets in much more guitar work.
I love Author Unknown and Can You Still Feel. Too bad his solo stuff was basically banished to Japan after that.

I have it all - including those, and some demos. About a year ago, he told me his next is imminent, but now about a year has passed and still not here. Frustrating.

For those that haven't checked it out yet, the first Umajets album is pretty solid and has more of a Jellyfish vibe than some of the other side projects and solo records. Tim Smith was one of the band members, plus Eric and Roger play on it.

Bellybutton by a short hair
Favorites: New Mistake, Ignorance is Bliss, and That is Why,
So you pick two songs that came AFTER Bellybutton?
Yep, I just think Bellybutton is the more consistent album. If I expanded my favorites to my top 10, there would be more from Bellybutton than Spilt Milk.

4) are they related to 'imperial drag'? that was a better band I seem to recall a link
I was kind of disappointed when I got the Imperial Drag album. Some of the demos from that album were leaked out almost a year before the album came out and a lot of the ones I liked didn't make it to the album.
The demos were released on Weed, some file share service, about 10 years later. You can find most/all of them on Youtube and this page has them, too: http://wilfullyobscure.blogspot.com/202 ... s-199.html
