The independent feature length sci-fi thriller "Character Killer" was written by Adam Cherier, and directed by Jamie Campana. Composer Greg Johnson wrote 27 different compositions to allow the soundtrack help tell the story.

"A Ride Up The Mountain where miracles live" is the third release from Glass Brick Boulevard and features Greg Johnson on Piano/keyboards, Bobby Tynes on Sax, Robb Fordyce on 6 string Bass, George Cole on guitars, and 3DGG on Drums. It was co-produced by Michael Rosen, 3DGG, and Greg Johnson.

The second release, "a simple dream," was the band stripped down a bit, features Greg Johnson on Piano, Kevin Palladini on Sax, Robb Fordyce on 6-string Bass, 3DGG on Drums, and Paul Cicco on percussion, and let loose to have fun. It was co-produced by Jim Reitzel and Greg Johnson. The addition of pop drummer 3DGG sends it soaring!! 3DGG has recorded with Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and many others, and sets a rhythmic foundation that cooks. The grooves are deep, the piano solid, the bass melodic and sweet,and the sax is tasty and soaring.

This first CD release, "Life as Essential Experience," reflects the ethereal and smooth influences of living in Mill Valley Ca. It includes Cello and percussion for color, but still lets the rock-tinged guitar run free. It was co-produced by Jim Reitzel and Greg Johnson, and includes Greg on piano, Ray Sayre on guitar, Doug Harman on cello, Aviva on oboe and soprano sax, Robb Fordyce on bass, Tom Donlinger on drums, and Paul Cicco on percussion
