Encyclopedia
Drop is a collaborative album by Porcupine Tree
drummer Gavin Harrison
and multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and extended-range bass
player 05Ric. It was released on the Burning Shed
record label in 2007.
The review by Johan Vaxelaire in Wusik Magazine states: "The qualities present here are the excellent instrument playing of Gavin Harrison on drums; the incredible vocal harmonies, sense, and inventiveness and originality of 05ric’s bass playing. The close relationship between technique and emotion makes this a disk showcasing technical skill and yet so pleasant to listen to from beginning to end."
