The name Sound Of Contact has various connotations, both physical and ethereal. It also affords a certain Simon Collins a degree of anonymity. Though the Collins surname carries some prog clout and the idea of not pushing it to the fore might send some marketing men off out of the room screaming, this is a band that’s happy to let the music do the talking.
Born in London but raised in Canada, Collins has an accent that reflects his upbringing. Now 36 years old, the son of Genesis drummer Phil has three solo albums under his belt, but admits that Dimensionaut marks his first brush with progressive rock. So what prompted a prog album at this stage in his career?
