King Crimson alumni Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto join with Chapman Stick master Michael Bernier in this unique album featuring multiple Sticks. Levin, noted for the unique Stick opening riff of Elephant Talk on the Crimson album Discipline, is a premier player of the instrument. Here the band showcases 56 minutes of hard-edged progressive rock, including an ominous rock rendition of Stravinsky's Firebird Ballet. The title track Soup is mixed by Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson. Classically-structured Hands and Relentless feature high-energy speed playing meeting mellow bowed sections. Stick Men followed this release with a world tour, including dates in North America, Japan & Europe.
