One of the foremost drummers of rock and contemporary instrumental music, Michael Shrieve, has produced an innovative and electrifying sound in Transfer Station Blue. This album is a compelling fusion of rhythm and melody.

Contributing to the unique sound of the album are Kevin Shrieve on guitar and Klaus Schulze playing the synthesizers. Their exceptional talents blend with the latest technology to create a dynamic, spell–binding album.
