How Strange is the debut album from Cataland. The album was 4 years in the making, with a very bumpy ride. Production issues and performance difficulties are just a couple issues encountered along the way. This was the musical experiment for Cataland. Learning to essentially make music and make it good. The biggest problem came from not having a vocalist during the making of most of the record. That search finally concluded when Meeta Gajjar Parker finally answered the plea. At that moment, it was like lightning in a bottle and the album fell together piece by piece. Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about Cataland is that the vocals,along with guest musicians, were done in personal studios from Rhode Island to California. They have never all met, face to face.Exciting guest appearances:Jim Meskimen: Friendly WarningJim Meskimen, a well known celebrity impressionist, appears on the opening track of the album. Doing an Edward Van Sloane impression, Jim gives a remarkably delivered speech, warning listeners of what's to come. His previous credits include guest roles on shows such as Friends, Anger Management and Parks and Recreation. His film roles include the ever entertaining Officer Wholihan in The Grinch, as well as appearing in other Ron Howard films like Apollo 13.Marc Bosserman: How Strange & OvertureMarc Bosserman is a highly accomplished Los Angeles pianist, who provided Cataland with not only piano tracks on two amazing tracks, but give incredible advice and encouragement during the long album making process.Tom Valdez: Kindred SpiritTom Valdez is an incredible Los Angeles guitarist who lent his expertise to Kindred Spirit. Playing some incredibly moving guitar leads, Tom delivers an incredibly atmospheric backing to such a great song. Tom's previous successes include his own band, Man Made Souls, having a music video played on MTV. He has also been the guitarist for other great artists including Size7Hat. And of course, Cataland, themselves!Dylan Catalano: Founder, Composer, Arranger and Multi-Instrumentalist Sean Hart: Composer, Arranger and Multi-Instrumentalist
