Did this fly under the radar, or was I just not paying attention?

Now I know how I missed this - it was either because I'm dumb, or the text on the bandcamp page is deceptive. Consider this:
"Balloon Astronomy is a band from San Diego, California, the collaboration of long-time friends who share a love of the music of the classic progressive era.
...
Their eponymous debut album features the talents of renowned musicians Mike Keneally (Mike Keneally Band), Nick D'Virgilio (Spock's Beard), and Max Werner (Kayak)."
Now to me, this sounds like a band made up of friends, which include MK and D'Virgilio. But the truth is, the "band" is Jim Ledger and Glenn Little - whose names appear nowhere on the bandcamp page! The other musicians are only featured guests. Mike plays guitar on exactly one friggin song!
So I'm feeling a bit deceived right now. But I'll listen to the CD anyway (yeah, I bought the physical product) and maybe I'll love it and all will be forgiven.
