Two years after Tom "TDW" De Wit released the prestigious The Antithetic Affiliation (2017, see review), his musical journey continues with a brand new album. Although the album tittle First Re-Draft might set you on the wrong foot, all compositions are freshly written and recorded by Tom and his full band; guitarists Lennert Kemper, Norbert Veenbrink and Joey Klerkx, bass player Peter den Bakker and keyboard player Vincent Reuling. Drummer Kenneth Martens is Dreamwalkers Inc.'s live drummer; his parts on the album are I guess at least partly programmed. For those who are familiar with TDW's earlier albums it will not be a surprise that besides Dreamwalkers Inc. a fair amount of guest musicians have participated to complete the album. Tom asked a number of befriended vocalists to perform the choir parts on First Re-draft. One of them; Douglas Skene from the Australian bands Hemina and Anubis might be the most prominent name known the average progressive rock fan.
