Big news, Crack The Sky fans! Our latest CD, The Baker Files, just scored a stellar review from the prog rock gurus at DPRP.net—and we’re buzzing with excitement! Check it out here: https://www.dprp.net/reviews/2025/017#crack-the-sky.

DPRP calls The Baker Files “a triumphant unearthing of lost treasures,” praising how we’ve transformed John Palumbo’s 1976 demos into “a sonic journey that’s both nostalgic and electrifyingly fresh.” They highlight the “signature wit and innovative twists” in tracks like the reimagined classics and the three never-before-heard gems, dubbing it “a must-have for prog enthusiasts and a testament to Crack The Sky’s timeless brilliance.”

This EP—out now on Adobo Records—blends our classic prog rock essence with a modern edge, and DPRP agrees: it’s “a collector’s dream come true.” Grab your copy on CD at our live shows or online at crackthesky.com, or stream it on your favorite platform. Let’s crack the sky together—join the journey and see why the reviews are raving!
