Description/Reviews:

Partially quoting my friend and co-‘Progspacer’ Dario, on his most recent interview with singer and lyricist Florent Charlet, in this album “…there’s funk, swing, hip hop and RNB. There’s Pop, there’s a soundtrack and some waltzy kinds of stuff and circus stuff, even ska. Gospel, church organ, (tubular?) bells, 80’s synth-wave, brass band, and an orchestra!… you name it!” – Yes! all of it and more! Can I call it a prog album? A progmetal album? It is all that, yes, yet so much more!

Innocence and Illusion, which contains nine tracks, consists of a fusion of prog, rock, ballads and elements of jazz-blues... Although the music is laced with Hackett-like elements, it remains mainly a solo album by the lady in question; she more than sufficiently leaves her personal mark.

WOWSERS! consists of 9 electric elegies that unfold their agitated collective psyche. This is what taking the effect and making it the cause for a long while sounds like when electrified.
CHICKN, having released a double LP, an EP, three singles and a half a dozen of bootlegs, decided to embrace their inner voice and capture the essence of their in-vivo interaction into this Acid Glam record.
Sunny and colorful, sometimes comforting – some times alarming, always fast and bulbous, WOWSERS! oozes with West-Coast vibes and proto-punk explosions. Enchanting space-outs rise like monuments of absence, carefully balanced by meteoric freakouts that insist on your presence. In the meantime, a fine blend of lyrical horns, alluring percussion, whimsical drumming, arcade guitar riffs, sensual basslines and ankle-played keyboards will chaperon you in this 38 minute trip.

Description/Reviews: 

Phil Lanzon has been the keyboardist for Uriah Heep since 1986, but his debut solo album If You Think I’m Crazy! (2017) is outside the narrow confines of Heep music. It appears Phil had some serious prog he needed to manifest. He has a lot of pop/rock songwriting experience and had accumulated a backlog of songs that were not Heep-related. (OK, one song is Heep-ish.) This is glorious melodic/catchy prog plus some proggy ballads that probably could only have been created by someone from the first generation of British rock musicians. Lanzon grew up alongside the likes of Genesis, though he also admits to listening to and admiring Steven Wilson. Genesis may be the best single reference if one includes both their prog and pop eras, as the music here spans both. Lanzon’s songs also tend to be story-based. It’s surprising how bombastic most of this music is (‘bombast’ is an entirely positive thing to us progsters), with choirs, strings, and immaculate production yielding that larger-than-life sound. John Mitchell (Lonely Robot) had a big role on the album, playing guitar and singing some of the lead vocals. ... The whole album may make you nostalgic for the 1970s in that some of these songs would have had a chance at radio airplay then. Not now. ...If you’re like us, you skip to the longest track, in this case The Forest, although the shortest song, the instrumental Step Overture, is the most full-on prog (like the song Cinema was on Yes’s 90125), and the first song Mind Over Matter the one most likely to get lodged in your skull.

Description/Reviews: 

"We drew from a pool of musical references from the early seventies who were primarily thought of as rock bands, but to me were responsible for some of the greatest ‘Prog’ epics. Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” and “Stairway to Heaven. Rainbow’s “Stargazer” and Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” were the order of the day. There was no point in doing what each of us had done previously in our respective bands, the goal was to do something different . One ingredient that you find with these classic albums of the 70’s, was that the bands were not afraid to mix the styles of music up from track to track. On a Zeppelin or Queen album, each track would have a different feel, rock, folk, jazz, blues. This is something we were not afraid to do. we just did what we liked, so each track ended up with a different feel. These days albums are very linear, stay in one style and can be a little monotonous."

Description/Reviews: 

Anne Freeman, singer/songwriter of Ghost Embrace, who’s writing and vocal style is highly influenced by her love of British Blues and Symphonic Metal, has once again reshuffled the lineup for her second contribution, “Quantum Heart.”
Gathering together some of finest talent she could find in the industry today, Anne is focused on creating cinematic experience with the music, by adding orchestration to the material.
The result is a rich blend of, symphonic and metallic grooves, which walks a thin line between progressive and melodic rock. The unique quality of the music is only over shadowed by the themes in each song. “Ghost embrace” gives the listener the opportunity to find the positive, even in the darkest moments, to heal the soul, sharing the experience of life. "Quantum Heart" adds humor and sarcasm to the lessons of life, and the ghosts we turn away from.

Description/Reviews: 

'Labyrinth' is TSO's first album of individual, unconnected songs, the 14-track set is knit together by the serious underpinning of the songs, whether it's the sweeping overview of humanity on 'Time & Distance', the concerns of world banking irregularities on 'Not Dead Yet', the anti-bullying message of 'Not The Same' (which O'Neill co-wrote with his daughter) or the learn-from-the-past studies of 'Prince Igor and 'King Rurik'. In some ways it's a straight ahead album, and in some ways it's not. It's blatantly out of the box more music-driven as opposed to story- and music-driven. The world is a mess right now, so 'Letters From the Labyrinth' examines some of the problems we're facing now. You can enjoy them as songs, but they're there to make you think.

Description/Reviews: 

A casual listen will have you feeling that the player is mature and fully in control of their playing on many levels. From melodic structure to composition, you know its a player nearing the peak of their powers, after some 20-something years of playing live, guitar tuition, and of course writing. Think of how you feel when you hear Petrucci, or Satriani, or Vai, you know damn well its them when you hear the first riff and more so you know they are literally talking through their guitar, they have such command. This 4th release from Sean is by far the most restrained yet explosive, and compositional rounded release of his so far.

Description/Reviews: 

Eclectic Electric (Volume 1) is the first solo album by Pallas guitarist Niall Mathewson and, as the title suggests, is an eclectic selection of tracks that vary from out and out rock and progressive, to rich atmospheric soundscapes, and classical based themes.
 Though it might not always necessarily sound like it, every track features Niall on guitar, including the track “Mortis”. The 12 track album features a mixture of instrumental pieces and songs, with Mathewson singing on 2 and several guest vocalists on the others. All tracks are written and played by Niall except one that features a musical collaboration with Rob Meulman.

Description/Reviews: 

Most tunes stick to Satriani’s chosen genre of rock, without veering too far from the path into less accessible genres such as fusion. While he and co-producer Cuniberti do incorporate elements from jazz, fusion, New Wave, pop, and funk, these influences are more of a spice then a staple. All tracks feature the smooth, supple ideas that he’s worked so diligently to instill in his listeners’ ears. There isn’t the angularity of metal or modern hard rock blues hybrids. Notes ease in and out of existence, devoid of fuss. The disc on the whole has a familiar and fairly formulaic sequencing, with heavier tunes closer to the beginning.
