Prior to Scattered Pages, three of the band members (including Guidry) 
were in Deadwood Forest.  2 albums, both with a lot of tron.  The first 
album ("Deadwood Forest") is more Beatles/psych sounding...with lots of 
organ and a bit a down South feel...  <big generalization coming> kind of 
like if the Allman Brothers went on a Moodies/spacey Floyd/Krimson long 
weekend listening binge, then bought a tron and used it.  The second album 
("Mellodramatic") is produced by Mattias of Anglagard, and is in much more 
of a modern electronic prog meets classic symphonic prog style, yet still 
has a bit of that good old boy quality around the seams.  The first is 
good, and worth having for the handful of long tracks; the second is 
fabulous and an essential "tron" album IMO...if you like that kind of 
blood-red dripping oozing goozing over-the-top "tron", that is ;-)
