Beautiful album over all, this is what we call progressive rock. I'm drawn to the story of us, beautiful lyrics and finely executed music.
Favorite track: Story Of Us (feat. Andy Cizek).

Anup Sastry is definitely one of those artists where every single release he puts out is better than the last. This is a really excellent album.
Favorite track: Beneath the Mask (feat. Andy Cizek).
"Illuminate" is my fifth solo release. Its taken me about two years to put everything together, but I'm excited with how it all turned out. I had the privilege of working with some very talented vocalists and musicians on these songs, and I can't thank them enough for their contributions.

The bass on this album is so killer! The lead guitar parts make me feel like I'm among the stars. Shout out to Jacob Umansky for teaching me the bassline of Black Box at the Victor Wooten Bass Workshop at Berklee in the summer of 2022! getsugaxtenshou
