HEADSPACE (2007)
Lead by electric violinist/vocalist/mandolinist Joe Deninzon, Stratospheerius unleash their fourth
collection of songs. Hot on the heals of their acclaimed CD, "Live Wires", "Headspace" brings their live energy into the studio. Vocal rock anthems like "New Material, "Old Ghosts", and "Today is Tomorrow", shout alongside ripping instrumentals. From the bluegrass punk of "Gutterpunk Blues", to the psychedelic roller coaster ride of "Mental Floss", and the bigger and louder sequel to the
Heavy Metal Hora "Heavy Shtettle II". The disc also features a unique cover of The Police "Driven to Tears". This CD is filled with memorable hooks alongside the death-defying instrumental jams the group has built its reputation on. Influences range from Mahavishnu, Zappa and Zeppelin, to Dave Matthews, Radiohead, Jeff Beck, and Bela Fleck.

“…these songs tell stories that… emerge as substantial pieces of ear candy.
Despite the unusual shredding …and virtuoso aspirations inherent in this music, Headspace resonates with an earthbound freshness that reflects a charming change of direction for a band that’s already established itself as critical darling. The possibilities just became seemingly endless”

“…Deninzon shows how he has earned the nickname the “Jimi Hendrix of violin” as he tears threw a distortion heavy solo that points more in the direction of Guns N Roses’ Slash than Yo Yo Ma. The other effected instruments give Head Space a great push in the psychedelic direction, adding to the long list of the bands genre leaping abilities. Head Space is an exciting experience, taking the listener by the hand and whipping them around an Alice In Wonderland like journey of musical exploration”

“Headspace is a cranker of an album, with Joe Deninzon showing some vocal chops in addition to his Herculean violin skills. Drummer Lucianna Padmore, bassist Bob Bowen, & guitarist Mack Price play baffling beats, power passages, and some sweet grooves. Guest artist Benny Koonyevsky adds great percussion as well - a sort of modern day Morris Pert. A high voltage cover of the Police's Driven To Tears is a welcome addition to this wonderful jazz / rock / fusion / world disc. A massive energy generator of ideas. I needed this”
