Line-up: 
Billy Sherwood (YES, Asia) – bass and lead vocals
Bruce Gowdy (Unruly Child) – guitars
Guy Allison (Unruly Child) – keyboards
Mark T. Williams – drums

Description/Reviews: 

The good news is that ‘Unify’ is much more a World Trade record than ‘Euphoria’ ever had seemed, with Gowdy’s contributions seeming especially essential to the World Trade sound. ...  ‘On Target On Time’, in particular, is classic, classic World Trade right to the point where it bears more than a passing resemblance to a couple of the older tunes. What you get here, though, is Sherwood in great form, both vocally and musically. His voice belies the passing of time, even disguised under the usual filters, but his bass work is stellar.

Description/Reviews: 

After ... intro, the music gently mutates into melodic and mostly tranquile Post Rock. Even though it's a one man project, Aelita Red does really sound like a band and, even more surprisingly, the album sounds as if it had been recorded live in an empty church or theater. There are almost pastoral qualities to the music and the way it sounds (kind of reminding me of Manfred Eicher produced ECM albums). There is a lot of reverberation, little or no overdubbing, delicate keyboards (mostly mellotron) but an underlying power in the guitars, that seems to increase as the album nears the end.

The story is told (in English) through dialogues extracted from science fiction films of the 50s. 11 instrumental songs include this work, which musically reflect Michell's cultural and musical influence. An eclectic sample of the different stages as a musician and a person, going through rock, ambient, progressive rock, funk, electronic music and new age.

Description/Reviews: 

Zaedyus is progressive folk metal band from Argentina, led by composer and drummer Ale Brukman. Their music combines the tried-and-tested hallmarks of European power metal, with a generous dose of high energy violin, and an added interest provided by the variation of moods and time signatures favoured by the purveyors of progressive metal.
