Review by Staartvandehond — NODO GORDIANO is an Italian group active for at least 25 years. their proposal is a cross of various colors, from the complex sounds of the Cremisi prog, to the instrumental experimentation of GYBE and Djam Karet, some flash of German cosmicity, and of course some good Italian rock."Only Fool! Only […]
Review by Matti — I don't know if this international collaboration will remain a one-album project only or will there be more. In any case, the architect of the project is one of the hardest working musicians I know: drummer, producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Kimmo Pörsti of THE SAMURAI OF PROG (and formerly of Paidarion […]
Review by Thierry — You certainly remember the legendary American band Cathedral founded in Long Island in 1975. This combo released a fabulous album called "Stained Glass Stories" in 1978 in the Yes vein then, after a reunion, the great (more personal?) "The Bridge" (2007). Tom Doncourt and Mattias Olsson's Cathedral feature the last material […]
Review by siLLy puPPy — Emerging from the far northern Chilean city of Arica, EGREGOR has so far released two albumsbeginning with 2015's "Karma" and took off many years to craft the followup. Finally after setbacksdue to the pandemic and other world madness, EGREGOR at last returned in 2020 with its sophomoreoffering PACHAKUTI which features […]
Review by Rivertree — È uno spettacolo, vero e proprio! I suspect NODO GORDIANO (Gordian Knot) is the child of multi-instrumentalist Andrea De Luca. When searching through the band history, which started sometime in the mid 1990's, he seems to be the sole constant. Focused on developing experimental rock music, partially close to the likes […]
Review by alainPP — LIKE WENDY is the Dutch instrumental project of Bert Heinen, created in 1998. Known from the year 2000, I remember a good neo-prog at MARILLION as references but lacking pure creation. He tells on his 9th album a part of his childhood on the stories of fishermen of yesteryear, hence the […]
Review by prog_traveller!! — The latest album from Steven Wilson The future bites represents truly the worst work that he has done, it really does not matter that he changed the sound on this album, what matters is that this is not good at all. Boring songs filled with synth pop elements. I will not […]
Review by siLLy puPPy — In the 21st century there seem to be two major trends. Retro bands that strive to bring metal backto its more simplistic roots and wildly experimental acts that are hell bent for leather in drivingthe genre forward into almost unrecognizable territories. The Portland, Oregon act VICTORY OVER THESUN is definitely […]
Review by Rivertree — Since several years now THE REBEL WHEEL from Ontario remains a trio around key figure David Campbell (guitars). Andrew Burns (bass) and drummer Alex Wickham are on his side when it comes to the studio recordings. Important to know, all of them are also relying on the keyboard as well as […]
Review by lukretio — In my experience, when an artist advertises their new work with the words "We have decided to give the people what they kept asking for", that normally does not bode terribly well. However, if the man saying those words is Therion's mastermind Christofer Johnsson, whose latest two controversial and fan-challenging releases […]
