Mark’s Quick Review: Paolo Carraro Band’s – Newborn (EP)
This Italian band from the city of Vicenza has come at us with a guitar focused rock. This is one part rock, one part hard rock one part jazz and one part rockabilly. I would suspect that this bands live shows are amazing due to the musicianship and decent...
Mark’s Quick Review: Phideaux’s – Infernal
So, this is a special double album for me to review. I have been a huge Phideaux fan since 2009 and we have been friends nearly as long. This is a perfect example of why I think its a great idea for reviewers to rate their opinion of the band going into a review,...
Mark’s Quick Review: Mystery’s – Lies and Butterflies
Mystery is a Canadian band which I have only seen live twice but I have seen parts of this album performed live in Germany recently. Jean Pageau is wonderful and a solid replacement for Benoit David. This album has some true highlights for me which you can request...
Mark’s Quick Review: The Aaron Clift Experiment’s – If All Goes Wrong
I have given this album a few listens. This Texas crossover prog band is well liked in the progrock community. We did see them play at Rosfest, their only concert outside of Austin. I really want to like them but I just can't recommend this album. There is a lot of...
Mark’s Quick Review: Ghost’s – Prequelle
This varied genre band that can be discribed as Heavy metal, doom metal, hard rock, psychedelic rock progressive rock, or pop rock has made an album for prog fans in Prequelle. Usually the band is too heavy for the middle of the road prog fan. This time if anything...
Mark’s Quick Review: Tamarisk’s – Breaking The Chains
This long lost music of Tamarisk was orginally released on cassette and cd in the early 80's. All of Tamarisk's tracks remastered from original quarter inch tapes. This cd comes with Four newly recorded songs from Tamarisk's 1984 live set, A 16 page booklet telling...
Mark’s Quick Review: Toinen Toista’s – Toinen Toista
This band really surprised me. I was looking at the artwork and I was expecting another under average album. I was wrong. This Finnish band has really captured the beauty of 70's era prog. The title track and the final epic track are the best tracks I believe and all...
Mark’s Quick Review: The Fierce and The Dead’s-The Euphoric
So the Fierce and the Dead is a band I have had the pleasure of seeing live and actually hanging out with too. They are on the fringe of my tastes. So I would be hard pressed to give them an outstanding review based on my own personal likes. The band is a four piece...
Mark’s Quick Review: Subsignal’s – La Muerta
Subsignal's - La Muerta For me this band made a large positive leap with their 2013 album Paraíso so I was a little bit worried that maybe this album would go backwards a bit but those fears were unfounded. The 2018 Release is their best album to date. There are...
Mark’s Quick Review: A Perfect Circle’s – Eat the Elephant
A Perfect Circle's Eat the Elephant review A Perfect Circle has awoken 14 years since their last album with Eat the Elephant and we are sure glad they did. The Album is a bit mellower than their previous but not a mellow album. Maynard James Keenan (Tool) vocals are...
Mark’s Quick Review: Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate’s – Out of Mind
When I received this album I noticed that even though I had not heard of them I had over a dozen friends that liked them on facebook. I was hoping that I had found an undiscovered gem of an album. Unfortunately for me that was not the case. Most songs I thought...

Mark’s Quick Review: Coma Rossi’s – Self Titled Album
This album showed up in my inbox and all thought I try and not look at other people's reviews I had seen this on someone's top 10 of 2018. Then after receiving the album and realizing that the band is from India really intrigued me as I am of the belief that that...
Mark’s Quick Review: Alithia’s – The Moon has Fallen
Australian progressive rock band ALITHIA has sent us their second album. With me having an affinity for other Australian bands my hopes were high. The band delivered with a highly textured album. Sometimes soaring to highs with the expressive and sonic sounds. The...
Mark’s Quick Review: Roz Vitalis’s – The Hidden Man of the Heart
ROZ VITALIS was created by composer and keyboardist Ivan Rozmainsky in 2001 and I am just now hearing about them. Thanks to Ivan sending me the latest album. Now I don't deny that there is quality work done here but it just not my cup of tea. If you check out my...
Mark’s Quick Review: Magenta’s – We Are Seven.
The year was 2005 and I was just getting into progressive rock where my wife and I made a road trip down to Phoenixville for our first Prog Festival. We went to see Kino and Arena of all things and left there being a huge fan of Magenta who were touring seven. The...
