I really love the alternative versions, instrumentals and live performances. An indispensable collection for the beginner and the die hard fan.

​Extremely inventive and original progrock from Illinois.  Art in music.  Strongly recommended.

Energetic and powerful album with the skilled voice of Bernie Shaw and  the outstanding guitar of Dale Collins. All credits go to this marvellous Canadian composer!

The band is leaving the labyrinth, seeking for a brand new start.  Fans won’t be disappointed with the new songs and first listeners will be surprised when they hear ‘Salve Mater’.

Fourth album of Swedish band HFMC focuses on keyboard and melodic arrangements.

The legendary band Lucifer’s Friend still knows how to rock, in seventies style like usual, of course. A few songs however will tear your attention and that’s enough to get happy with this third reunion album. 

​One of the best FdM releases of this year.  A few renewed progrock covers but mainly strong own compostions with a lot of psychedelic keyboards. London Underground deserves a lot more attention.  Certainly a must have!

Great stuff of late eighties, early nineties with contributions from John Wetton.  Remember  not only the beautiful melodic structures but also the fantastic vocals from Glen Hughes. After so many years their music still affects me.

​Love these guys. Their music makes me happy and the complexity is well-balanced. Progrock with soft rock influences for a larger fanbase.

​One wonder what the value is of a live album.  Live they sound a little bit flat, so I suggest listening to their studio albums. They really have beautiful and strong compositions.

With Paul Glandorf as a singer, the band can look with confidence into the future. 

Follow up album from legendary keyboard player Keith Emerson, together with his mate Robert Berry.  After the death of Keith, Robert finished the second album from 3, a progband of the late eighties, with the assistent of Aaron Emerson and Mari Kawaguchi.  Just magnificent!

​Curious about the possibilities on electric guitar?  Listen to this masterpiece and let it overwhelm you.  The electric guitar can be an eclectic instrument in combination with modern technology. Enjoy and learn!

Very fine Swedish prog album that makes you happy with beautiful arrangements and enchanting melodies. 

Extremely rich and beautiful creation of Don Falcone’s Spirits Burning.  The collaboration with Michael Moorcock and his novel asks for… ‘to be continued’! 

Great melodic tracks from Oslo Norway. The band Pymlico deserves a place on every progrockfestival.  Their fifth album ‘Nightscape’ combines prog and a touch of jazz in a very original way.

The Belgian band Wanheda plays with joy their first full album, with a link to the human faillure on this collapsing world.  Not the most positive item, but put in a beautiful musical canvas.

Again a wonderful masterpiece of guitarist  Mark Wingfield.  A full hour of extremely original, inventive and innovative guitar in ten instrumental compositions.  Forget for a second Jimi Hendrix or Robert Fripp, and give attention to this wonderboy.

Kris Gietkowski’s new album sounds as a conversation with the Canterbury progrock band Egg.  Only three compositions, but 40 minutes pleasure for your ears.

Trio Jurgen Engler/Chris Lietz/David Cross  composed  spherical songs with a lot of electric violin from David Cross.  Adjusting strings and melodies brings well-known songs as Hallelujah or White Bird into another dimension.

What A Surprise.  Funky progrock with jazzy solo’s on guitar and piano.  Very rich soulful compostitions you can’t ignore. Great EP.

10th anniversary of Marius Duda’s solo project Lunatic Soul.  His new 6th album ‘Under The Fragmented Sky’ must be seen as a supplement on his 5th ‘Fractured’.  Dark and haunting songs with subtle electronics and vocal experiments with acoustic guitar are the key elements of this enchanting record.

The combination of art rock and singer-songwriter craftmenship works wonderful on Laura Meade’s solo album. Companion and multi-instrumentalist John Galgano feels perfectly the intention she wants to lay in her songs.  Impressive innovative work!

Soyuz is the tenth artwork  musically  painted by the Norwegian artrock band Gazpacho. Once more the band impresses with melodic songs with a great instrumental richness.

Wonderful project from Scandinavian progrock band Needlepoint.  Back to the seventies with jazz prog and dreamy psychedelic songs to insulate your mind.  Collector’s item soon!
