For those unaware, an important new label, Psychiatric Records, has released its first recording, The Haas Company Vol. 1, an exciting set of rock/fusion featuring Galactic Tide and guitarist Andy Timmons.

Label head Steve Haas has had overlapping careers as an entrepreneur, businessman, composer, producer, band leader, and drummer.

The musicians include guitarist Andy Timmons (who is showcased on the label’s debut release), violinist Jerry Goodman (a key member of the original version of the Mahavishnu Orchestra who is featured on Thirteen), Frank Gambale (guitarist with Chick Corea’s Elektric Band and in the spotlight on Celestial Latitude), the Swedish jazz guitarist Samuel Hallkvist (Song For Mimi), Sean Lennon, keyboardist-composer Pete Drungle, bassists Gary Pratt (of Pink Floyd), Al McDowell, John Patitucci and Kirwan Brown, and saxophonists Jay Rodriguez and Pete Gallo among others.
