The Gathering Storm (Part I)
( Patrick E. O'Connor ) from The Difference: Parts I,II,III,IV

During the band's breakup, Pat kept writing music not knowing if he would ever play live again. Originally intended to be a solo project under his own terms, Pat put together what's known in the music world as a "Concept Album." The four songs featured in this mi-co album (mini concept album) are a departure from the usual writing style the O'Connor is known for.

The Gathering Storm: It's like the book of Genesis with music.. Just a slow melody that keeps getting layered and continues to build. It gives you the impression of ..."Something bad is about to happen." Like... well... A gathering storm."
