Time Crunch, by Niacin (2002): Among the many Magna Carta prog supergroups, this one is a little different. A B3-led power trio featuring organist John Novello, drummer Dennis Chambers, and bassist Billy Sheehan (yes, the guy from Mr. Big!), Niacin lays down some of the funkiest grooves in all of progdom. Having said that, they also have the technical chops to wank on for a while, sometimes without a whole lot of direction. The best tracks, which come back to back, are a cover of King Crimson's "Red" and the laid back "Invisible King."
