Mark’s Quick Review: El tubo Elástico’s – Impala
There isn't an abundance of prog coming from Spain, but when it does come its usually pretty good. This album is no exception. This instrumental album is multi layered thanks to two guitars and keyboards. The song writing is top notch and songs are unique. And if you...
Mark’s Quick Review: Sunchild’s – Messages from Afar – The division of Illusion and Time.
Sunchild is a project by Ukrainian composer, musician, multi-instrumentalist, producer Antony Kalugin. The album is a light romp of glorious gateway prog. With a large ensemble to give this album its ultimate sound. The guitar sounds a bit Satriani like without so...
Mark’s Quick Review: Curious Grace & Black Rabbit’s – #WorldOnFire
A Chicago Sextet Curious Grace & Black Rabbit releases their debut album #WorldOnFire. They play a lot of venues that I frequent and I will go see them live sometime, but I can't recommend this album. I just couldn't find any melodies to hold on to. To me passages...
Mark’s Quick Review: Glass Hammer’s – Chronomonaut
Glass Hammer’s Chronomonaut the continuation of Chronometree story from 2001 out does its predecessor. The songs are well crafted and diverse. This album is a welcome edition to the Glass Hammer cannon. Matthew Parmenter's guest appearance on the Past is the Past is...
Mark’s Quick Review: Isla Fortune’s – Verity
This is a straight up rock album with some nice atmospheric additions long passages and interesting changes. The three piece band from Cyprus who puts out a hard hitting sound. I would suspect is a band you need to see live. Their energy is undeniable even in the...
Mark’s Quick Review: Grackle’s – The Quiet Noise
Full disclosure I have been a fan of Steve Katsikas work for 15 years thanks to his work with Little Atlas. and Strattman and I was lucky enough to hear this band live in Chicago. I can say with some certainty that if you are a fan of neo prog you will like this...
Mark’s Quick Review: Semantic Saturation’s – Paradigms
This is the follow up to their debut in 2013, Solipsistic which I particularly liked. This album has a few guests on it most notably keyboard player Derek Sherinian, but Alex and Houry's additions should not be over looked. The album is constantly entertaining with...
Mark’s Quick Review: Isproject’s – The Archinauts
This one year old debut album from Italian duo Ivan Santovito and Ilenia Salvemini is full of prog goodness. Had I heard this album last year It would have received attention for best debut album. This duo along with others Giovanni Pastorino - Keyboards &...
Mark’s Quick Review: Oscillazioni Alchemico Kreative’s – Giordano Bruno
Multi-Instrumentalist Jerry Cutillo surrounded himself with a great band and gursts for a concept album about the first scientific martyr Giordano Bruno. This band which has been putting out albums since 1993 has really put together a solid album. Despite making and...
Mark’s Quick Review: Elizabeth the last’s – Elizabeth the last
As you may have noticed I am not always to keen on instrumentals, but this one caught my ear right away. There is drama immediately from the first measures of the first measures of Centralia. There are many layers to these songs which is performed primarily with André...
Mark’s Quick Review: Red Bazar’s – Things as they Appear
The Quartet of Andy, Paul,Mick, and Pete are back with their 2019 release. In my estimation it is ther best work to date. Now that the band has had this lineup for a bit they seem to be able to write to their strengths and maybe the song writing has matured as well. I...
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: ZW’s – If It’s Real
ZW is the Duo of Drummer Mark Zonder (Fates Warning, Warlord, Chroma Key) and Gary Wehrncamp (Shadow Gallery) just to name a few. After corresponding for more than a decade the two have joined up to make the first album. If It's Real The Can't Believe starts...
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...
