After we put together (SHINE) which became Spirit Caravan, I was hustling to put a guitar rig together. I discovered Atomic Music, a super cool store in Maryland that encouraged trades and had a lot of cool stuff. We had met another guy, Sonny, who befriended us and introduced me to his friend, Bruce Falkinburg, and Phase recording studio. Bruce was a very interesting and hyper-intelligent guy, specializing in recording rock music. We decided to diversify our recording process and parted ways with my old friend Chris Kozlowski and PolarBearLair studios. I hired Bruce to record the version of \"\u003cem\u003eDarkness and Longing\u003c\/em\u003e,\" our song on the Sixty Watt Shaman - Spirit Caravan split single. We liked what he did, so we decided to record more with Bruce at Phase, including the last SC single, \"\u003cem\u003eSo Mortal Be\/ Undone Mind\u003c\/em\u003e,\" and three tracks eventually released on \u003cem\u003eThe Last Embrace\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBruce and I formed a band after things fell apart with Spirit Caravan. Out of a list of possible band names, Bruce's idea, \u003cem\u003eThe Hidden Hand\u003c\/em\u003e, seemed to resonate the most. Once Bruce recruited Dave Hennessy to play drums, it was ON. Over the next couple of years and a couple of different drummers, \u003cem\u003eThe Hidden Hand\u003c\/em\u003e recorded one single, one split EP, one compilation song, and three full-length albums. Working with everyone in \u003cem\u003eThe Hidden Hand\u003c\/em\u003e realm enriched my life greatly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBruce’s enthusiasm, knowledge, creativity, intellect, and musical abilities remain an inspiration to me. Special thanks to all who helped keep this music alive!\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Improved Sequence","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51900351676747,"sku":"R3946-1189","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Clear","offer_id":51900351709515,"sku":"R3946-6870","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/TheHiddenHand-DivinePropaganda_ca732938-fdc4-459c-b7a5-2df90100e6dd.jpg?v=1752283892"},{"product_id":"mother-teacher-destroyer","title":"Mother * Teacher * Destroyer","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnother bonafide classic from the all-time heavy lifer \u003cstrong\u003eScott ‘Wino’ Weinrich\u003c\/strong\u003e.
