From the Heart of the Desert: A Lost Chapter of Tim Reynolds — Remastered

Petroglyph is a newly remastered release from Tim Reynolds, longtime guitarist for the Dave Matthews Band, frontman of his own power trio TR3, and a recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. 

In the quiet solitude of his Santa Fe home studio, between 1998 and 1999, Tim Reynolds captured lightning in a bottle—laying down a collection of tracks that pulsed with raw emotion, fearless experimentation, and the unmistakable fire of his signature sound. 

Initially released as a digital download on TimReynolds.com in 2002, this hidden gem was a cult favorite among devoted fans. Now, more than two decades later, Petroglyph returns—remastered by David Glasser (Airshow Mastering / Boulder, CO) and reawakened—with new depth, clarity, and power.

Blending gritty guitar riffs, thunderous beats, and fearless improvisation, Petroglyph captures Reynolds at his most raw and expressive. It’s a powerful time capsule of sound — intimate, electrifying, and unmistakably Tim.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering his music for the first time, Petroglyph offers a timeless journey through the heart of one of modern music’s most innovative and influential guitarists.

This isn’t just a reissue. It’s a resurrection.

Tim Reynolds Announces Release of Participation Mystique

Happy New Year! To celebrate another trip around the sun, we are pleased to announce the release of Participation Mystique (in the Age of the Mushroom Bandit). Tim Reynolds' music is as timeless as it is timely, a notion that is reflected well in the brilliant New Year's Day release. Recorded twenty years ago by Reynolds in his Santa Fe, New Mexico home studio, Participation Mystique features Reynolds' mesmerizing blend of intricate guitar work and improvisational brilliance, weaving rock, jazz, and world influences into a soulful, dynamic soundscape.

The album kicks off with the sinister "Pathetic Propaganda Ploy," a groovy, guitar-driven track that channels the punk anti-authority energy of the late-90s Nine Inch Nails records. Maniacal laughter punctuates melodic overtones, while drum beats provide a hypnotic backbeat, a common element for the songs on this album. Reynolds used drum loops on every song except for "Cordially Distant," a brooding and grooving song inspired by his interactions with the public. All of the musical performances on Participation Mystique (in the Age of the Mushroom Bandit)were played by Reynolds himself: Stratocaster, Telecaster, 7-string guitar, vocals, keyboards, bass, and mostly-programmed drums. The album consists of previously unreleased material with the exception of two TR3 tunes: "Revelation" and "Meaning to Tell You."

The vibe of the record is entirely spiritual, "a pure expression that is close to my heart," Reynolds says. The album's final track consists of a collaboration with a NASA recording of space sounds entitled, "Spirit Molecule." Reynolds describes the song as a "recording of Neptune. I played along to it with my 7-string...definitely trippy, engaging deeper communications. Low drones that sounded like B-17 bombers." At nearly 18 minutes long, "Spirit Molecule" is an epoch in and of itself, a controlled experiment of sonics, light, and dark, posing questions about the nature of the human existence and our place in the Universe.
