The group of Colorado experimentalists known as Thinking Plague research jazz, rock, and folk music with progressively symphonic contexts, around the aegis of guitarist and composer Mike Johnson. The lot was initially formed in the early '80s by Johnson and bassist/drummer Bob Drake; afterward cathartic an album coroneted A Thinking Plague on their own Endemic Records, the duo added singer Suzanne Lewis and released Moonsongs in 1987 for the British label Dead Man's Curve. Critical extolment for their avant-fusion was glow, only Thinking Plague continually added members -- reed player Mark Harris, keyboardist Shane Hotle -- and recorded Another Life for ReR in 1989. Though Lewis and Drake later left the area for other projects, drummer Dave Kerman (of 5uu's), vocaliser Deborah Perry, and Dave Willey (Hamster Theatre) united for 1998's In Extremis. The Early Plague Years followed deuce long time by and by.
