Mark’s Quick Review: Fernando Perdomo’s – Zebra Crossing.
I have had the pleasure of seeing Fernando Perdomo live a few times with Dave Kerzner and I can say he is one of the most electric musicians I have ever seen. I was delighted to see this album show up in my inbox. The album is full of nice melodies and I really...
Mark’s Quick Review: Haken’s – Vector Deluxe Edition
Haken's 5th studio album is another triumph for the band. This English band has had such a string of exceptional albums that are tricking a whole new generation of music fans into liking progressive rock. Wow this album does have a lot of notes in there, which...
Mark’s Quick Review: Evan Hause’s – Plastic Island Pentecost
Composer Evan Hause has released his debut album. Evan, who has a Doctorate of Music Arts and Master of Music degrees, has put out an album I am sure his friends would appreciate. As for me the album fell flat. Once I heard it I thought this is music written for...

Mark’s Quick Review: Falling Edge’s – FE3
I had never heard of this band before but their third album is gaining some traction and I want to thank them for sending me their music. I will keep an eye on this band but this album is still not quite good enough for me to recommend you buy it. This musicianship is...
Mark’s Quick Review: Emerald Dawn’s – Nocturn
The third album from Emerald Dawn proves to be the charm. After putting some slightly above albums out prior to this in 2014 and 2017 but the song writing took a leap forward in this album. The album is basically four long songs with one clocking in at 20 minutes. ...
Mark’s Quick Review: Dream Theater’s – Distance Over Time
Well. For me the Astonishing was astonishingly bad. It is, to this day, only concert I ever walked out of. I feel sad about that. Because here is a band trying to do something different and that should be applauded. Instead, it was met with disdain from me. ...

Mark’s Quick Review: 25 Yard Screamer’s – Keep Sending Signals
The album with consists of a few bright moments but not enough for me to recommend the album. The recording seems muted and flat. Its all vocals and symbols. This album has some songs from their first CD they ever came up with and I can't help feel like they did...
Mark’s Quick Review: Karikus’ – The Fold
This is a band I probably should have heard of before this their fifth album. They have played Crescendo and Night of the Prog. This concept album based on a cinematic narrative approach which is really right where I like my music to be. My favorite album of...
