The Maxwell's Demon Preservation Society

All of us here at the Maxwell's Demon Preservation Society are thrilled to announce the most recent addition to our archives: a newly discovered full-length album, which Maxwell's Demon seems to have titled Diablo. The album appears to have been released in mid to late 2008.

Our MDPS archaeo-musicologists agree that this new discovery adds vital pieces to the puzzle of Maxwell's Demon: the complexity of their rhythmic principles, their ground-breaking nontonal harmonies, and as always, the mystery of their absence from mainstream media waves. Did they hide their work from the public intentionally? Did they refuse to compromise their vision for the sake of recording contracts and glory? Could they, possibly, have hidden clues to their work on purpose, knowing that subsequent generations would be compelled to follow their trail and piece together the truth? Stay tuned as we continue our detective work around this brilliant band of the 21st century, and as always, surf safe!

Compositions were primarily influenced by 20th/21st Century "art" music for the complex rhythmic ideas found there, and nontonal harmony. Rock influences include such artists as Änglagård, Frank Zappa, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Univers Zero, and Bubblemath, along with the usual collection of classic progressive rock.
