Band Members: ...george&caplin is a suspense thriller that finds Wentworth, Fredrick, and Cary Grant in the role of Roger Thornhill, a Manhattan Advertising Executive mistaken for a spy. (aka George Caplin) Considered by many to be the prototypical "experimental-psychadelic-folk-space rock", the compositions are a cross-country roller-coaster ride with producer Wentworth at the helm. The music is duly famous for several classic and indelible moments, including the prairie desert biplane encounter and the Mt. Rushmore climax. The magical combination of Hitchcock's inspiration and debonairs george&caplin, makes a suspense-filled space out.When Roger Thornhill finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, the world as he knows it comes to an end. Typically HE REALLY GOT THROUGH TO ADVERTISING but now danger threatens as the hapless executive is targeted as an American intelligence agent and set up as a killer. All of Thornhill's attempts to straighten things out only make matters worse--and soon the desperate man is on the run from murderous foreign operatives, the CIA, and the police. The supporting cast, including Beta-lactam Ring Records, Sandusky, Tyler Potts, I-Manifest, Colortone Library, Joshua Gondrez, Robin Rozum, Massive Music, the RogerThornhill Academy, Cacheflowe, Scaffolding, Jim Wilson, Prairie Schooner, and Blusom, are uniformly excellent.
