Stolt brought along bassist Jonas Reingold from The Flower Kings, who, along with new drummer Agren, give this band a rhythm section as good as any band out there. lead singer Patrik Lundström adds a new dimension as well. His voice often sounds like Freddie Mercury, and sometimes like a less-shrill James LaBrie. A female vocalist does a nice job, but at times her accent gets a bit weird ("the road is winding" sounds like "the road is whiny"). Standout tracks are many on this one, but I greatly enjoy Night-Bike-Ride (on Lilac Street) , Leaving the horizon , The Name Belongs To You , the buzzsaw rocker Second Journey Inside The Green Glass , and the funky fusiony Morganism . This is an excellent start to what has been the best period of this band's career. 4.5 stars.

Both his phrasing and allegoric lyrical style smack heavily of Dylan, sometimes almost uncomfortably so. “Playmate”, “Morning Song” and “I Shall Not Care” all are culled from the songbook of a long line of Dylan wannabes. If the entire album fell into this category it would be worth dismissing out of hand, but such is fortunately not the case. Rapp was clearly working hard to find his own voice on these songs, and appears to have relied on his deep knowledge of the Dylan catalog only partially. Elsewhere he shows an experimental side, ranging from an acoustic bard on “Ballad to an Amber Lady”, to a precocious angry young lad on “Uncle John”, to some sort of hillbilly Donovan on the closing “The Surrealist Waltz”. Sometimes the experiments work, often they just miss the mark. “(Oh Dear) Miss Morse” for example combines banjo and mandolin with weird keyboards (harpsichord I’m pretty sure, and a dated electronic analog synth known as a clavioline for an awkward and disjointed little ditty that sounds more like an outtake than something that should have made it onto the final release. “Drop Out!” must have sounded a bit dated even in 1967, and whatever sort of microphone was used for the vocals on “I Shall Not Care” doesn’t fit with the mandolin and banjo arrangements at all, nor do the faux-spacey spoken-word vocals or the minimalist mood. But in the end this was a promising debut for an American original, or at least someone who would become something of an original. Like the Moody Blues’ ‘Go Now!’, what would follow would be a far cry from the first efforts, and more often than not much more progressive and appealing. If you have never experienced Pearls Before Swine I would not start with this one, but if you find the solo works of Tom Rapp in the early seventies to your liking you may want to check this one out to see what he sounds like as part of a real band, and to hear the early stirrings of what would come after. Three stars (just barely), and recommended mostly to really serious progressive folk fans. peace MEMBERS LOGIN ZONE As a registered member ( register here if not), you can post rating/reviews (& edit later), comments reviews and submit new albums.

In addition, the band was starting to come apart under the stress imposed by the disciplinarian Fripp. Their second album, In the Wake of Posidion, was created by a band in a state of flux. The jack-of-all-trades Ian MacDonald had left after Court while Greg Lake and the irreplacable drummer Michael Giles would hit the road shortly after Posidion was released. The void was filled by several session musicians some of whom would stay on (Haskell on vocals, Collins on reeds and Tippett on piano). This coming and going would be a constant feature of KC during it's lifetime and how it managed to survive is another story in itself. Posidion is often disparagingly criticized as being 'too much like Court' which is just, given that KC's reputation is built on pushing the boundaries of rock. Indeed, musically, we're still listening to the same potent blend of jazz, rock and classical pretentions. Even the album names sound very similar. But, as others have pointed out, is that really a bad thing? The album may suffer in comparision to it's predecessor but objectively most of the music on Posidion holds up quite well. Pictures of a City has the same kind of frantic stop and go, light and heavy mentality as Schiziod Man; the lovely acoustic/flute combo on Cadance and Cascade makes it the ballad of choice on this album; while the mellotron drenched title track has the same kind of weighty ethos as Epitaph. As well, the delightfully strange Cat Food leans in a more jazzy direction with its lightening piano runs and 'cool' vocals. There are flaws though. Posidion is interspersed with brief snippits of 'Peace' which are more annoying than charming and could have been left out as they ruin the album's structure. Also, the menacing instrumental Devil's Triangle, while interesting at times, is a little more sprawl than I care for. Overall, Posidion holds up well with more good songs than bad. Really not a bad sophomore album compared with others out there. Unfortunately, it lacks the flow and overall punch of it's towering older sister. Interestingly, but not surprisingly, this mirrors the state of the band that created it at the time.

It took a little nudge from my friend sinkadotentree to get this into my player and seek penance for my misdeed. Muchas gracias, John! While technically a solo album from senor Fernandez-Ledesma, the invitees behave as if in a group setting whilst creating a rich tapestry of sultry sounds and invigorating music. The multi-instrumentalist leader infuses a vast array of settings and moods into mostly voiceless romps, where his omnipresent keyboards conduct the train, occasionally freeing up a ramp for some sinewy flute pastorals such as on the precious "El Acueducto", a thrilling and fresh opener. The second track gets a tad more explorative but still in breezy style. "Ottla" is a fine track, serene acoustic guitar and whistling synths are a superlative setting in general but here is elevated to a restrained effusion of class, teased by a complex but discreet guitar lead and some cool contrasts. A series of mini 2 to 3 minute segments kick in, weaving almost Saharan winds on moment and smoky electronics the next, the case in point being the mesmerizing "El Espiral" , a magnificent sonic opium with vocals from legendary Mexican female vocalist Alquimia . "El Arbol de Indigo" is the 10 minute whopper , a serene pastoral locale set in musical form where bubbling electronics, tangly guitar webs and some inspired vibraphone work really sling this one forward. A long synthesizer solo only contributes to the sheer glee. Toss in some funky bass and you can see the hot sun scorching through the haze. Entrance stage left, lead guitar outburst that energizes the proceedings even more, turning calm into excited turbulence. Then, a little refreshing ambient pause before reigniting the flame. Very cool track, in so many ways. "La Huida" slowly appears out of nowhere, a sweeping organ ditty, playful recorder work spicing things up, very near canterbury territory but with a slight latino tinge on the lead guitar, sounding almost like a soundtrack to bullfight (Corrida!), with wild swerves and escapes. "Relatos del Agua" has a distinctive marine feel, oceanic in scope with huge wisps of electronica that would make the trancers red with envy, perhaps my favorite track here. Blue effects color the mellotron tides and assorted percussives shaking in the vortex, this is simply brilliant stuff when the Frippian guitar rattles through the haze! Wow! Or should I say 'Caramba'! The title track tucks this puppy in, a near 9 minute joyride that reinvites Alquimia to the mike in a quirky arrangement that is loaded with dissonance, experimentation, counterpoint and creativity. Mucho progressivo! A definite surprise. I will start searching for more! Thanks John for sending me copy that i already had! 4 tequilas MEMBERS LOGIN ZONE As a registered member ( register here if not), you can post rating/reviews (& edit later), comments reviews and submit new albums.

Nowhere is this more true than with their debut which exploded onto the scene in 1969. Even at a time when innovation in music was commonplace, this album holds a unique place in rock's canon. Court is one of the few pivitol albums that changed the face of popular music forever and it's impact and influence have not been dimmed with age. Lead by the incendiary genius of Robert Fripp, KC have concocted an album which incorporates equal parts jazz rock with breath-taking symphonic bombast a la mellotron. Adopting the 'shock and awe' formula: Court careens from the incredable maelstrom of Schizoid Man, through the mornful jazz of I Talk to the Wind & Moonchild and then into the epic aureas Epitaph and the title track. The instrumentation varys wildly with jazzy flute and sax mixing with electric and acoustic guitar along with the ever present mellotron. Special mention goes to the subtle drumming of Michael Giles who is undoubtably the best procussionist KC ever possessed. The lyrics, which expess the disillusion and dislocation of the individual from society, are much more serious than you'll find with most prog bands; although Pete Sinfield mixes in healthy doses of fantasy as well. The overall mood is perfectly expessed by the spectacularly frightening cover art. The real stength of Court lies in the album's internal tension which at times (on Schiziod Man) threatens to tear the music apart and at times becomes almost unbearable. Sometimes this beast of sound rampages freely and sometimes it is restrained but KC controls it so that it always treatens to break loose. What would the title track be without Moonchild's long outtro? Part silence, part roaring fury; it makes for a truly engaging experience. Dispite what you may think about the quality of the music (and judging by the amount of glowing reviews, there are few who doubt it), Court epitomizes the genre we all love. It IS brilliant, it IS daring, it IS a masterpiece. This is the album that puts 'progressive' in progressive rock.

Made up of multi-instrumentalist Andy Clark and guitar-virtuoso Mick Hutchinson, the aptly-named 'Clark Hutchinson' met sometime during the 1960's when both musicians could be found in the underground group Sam Gopal Dream. From the sound of their music it seems likely that the twosome might have been fond of the odd herbal-or-psychotropic tipple, and after the demise of the oddly-monikered Sam Gopal Dream, the duo decided to pair-up and explore the sounds of India and beyond, merging those exotic sounds with a western 'rock' dynamic. So far, so pretty high-minded and Hippie-dippie. But hey, it was a different time back then, and it sounded good. Unbelievebly, experimentation was the creative watchword at the tail end of the sixties/beginning of the 1970's, and any musicians trying this sort of thing in 2010 would be instantly straightjacketed 'World Music'. Clark Hutchinson may have had lofty ambitions and seriously leftfield practices, but they also had immense talent and, dare we say it, foresight into the natural progressive arc of rock music(!). Along with fellow brits Jade Warrior, who produced three excellent oriental-tinged prog/folk/rock albums at around the same time, Clark Hutchinson were part of a small niche of artists who eschewed the bluesy or the overtly-progressive in favour of casting their sonic nets to lands farther afield. 'A+MH2' is possibly the apex of the genre - strong words, I know - because it positively drips with an earthy authenticity that truly places this album as lovingly-crafted epoch to the now stereotypical sitar-and-tabla drenched style of Indian music. It's also a damn good LP. It's easy to see where modern groups such as San Francisco's mind-melting psych-rockers Wooden Shjips(the 'j' is deliberate) get their epic, motorik-grooved and deeply trippy soundscapes from, and from start-to-finish the whole album reverberates with cosmic bliss for those in love with the psychedelic side of psych/rock. Without a doubt, one of the trippiest albums from the trippiest period in modern music. And that's no mean thing.

Zion Post Rock/Math rock Review by Marty McFly Collaborator Errors and Omissions Team OK, this could have been great, great compositions, not almost, but totally classical like, but with very distinct Prog touch. You can feel the atmosphere better than ever before I experienced in Post Rock genre. However, there's one thing that puts me away / off / out a lot and it's vocal department. It's terrible, it's annoying. He sounds like drunk emo youngster, even he's actually good, in a hippie way of this word, looking guy who handles his guitar well. But not in all tracks, it's very tiresome, very unbearable in first song, because it just doesn't fit here. This song should be symphonic, should be nice and pleasant. Strings are great, other instruments are great, but his damned singing isn't simply fitting here. I see that one reviewer before noticed this too (I looked on previous reviews to see if someone sees things like me). However, second song isn't slow and harmonic (would be harmonic if it wasn't for vocals), second song is different. Fast paced, very suitable for this kind of voice. There are also instrumental only parts, so they're OK too, but the last song is again number one type. Sadly. 3(+), I don't like to mock vocalist so much, but what can I do if this is a barrier that prevents me from enjoying it to the full. It could have been good. Especially given that it's not usual to have vocals in Post Rock. Guess why.

While Edge of Sanity's previous album, Unorthodox , was pretty standard death metal, The Spectral Sorrows is quick to change that. The band's third album is still (very) firmly rooted in the Swedish death metal scene, but you should expect to hear goth rock, progressive rock/metal, traditional heavy metal, and of course some brutal death metal packed inside of this very unique album. As mentioned earlier, The Spectral Sorrows is hard to pin down as just one genre. This is a diverse album, and it will appeal to people with diverse tastes of music. If you're just looking for pure death metal, you will most likely be disappointed with this album. Of course, if you're okay with some variation this shouldn't be a problem at all! One of my biggest issues with many death metal releases is that the formula becomes tired and overused by the end of the album. That is not the case with this album. Whenever the standard death metal formula begins to get a little tiring, there is usually a song that will serve as a perfect breaking point between the death metal intensity. The best songs on The Spectral Sorrows depends on what you are looking for. If you're looking for death metal, most of the album will surely impress you. You'll find some killer riffs on this album. If you're looking for proggy stuff, like Crimson , songs like Across The Fields of Forever , On The Other Side , and Lost should appeal to you, as well as the surprisingly beautiful A Serenade For The Dead . If you're in search of goth rock, Sacrificed and the Manowar cover, Blood of My Enemies should appeal to you. Clearly, The Spectral Sorrows will appeal to a wide variety of metalheads. The musicians in Edge of Sanity are fantastic, despite all of their disagreements on later albums. Though Benny Larson's drumming, Andreas Axelsson's and Sami Nerberg's guitars are fantastic, Dan Swanö takes the cake. He is one of my musical idols, and I will always worship his godliness at the microphone, not to mention his superb songwriting. The production is perfect for this kind of music. It's crushingly heavy, yet sophisticated enough to deliver a satisfying experience to any audiophile. Börje Forsberg and Edge of Sanity completely nailed the production on The Spectral Sorrows . Dan Swanö's brilliant mixing and engineering is worth noting as well. Conclusion: The Spectral Sorrows took a while for me to appreciate, but I've eventually grown to love it. I'm very glad that I dedicated a lot of time in an attempt to appreciate The Spectral Sorrows , because it is now one of my favorite Edge of Sanity albums. Of course, it doesn't rank up there with Crimson , Crimson II , or Purgatory Afterglow , but it is still an excellent 4 star album. Highly recommended to open minded death metal fans. 4 stars.

However to their courage should speak that they dares to explore new horizons. On these 60 minutes, they have enough space to do so. There is small, few seconds long jazz interlude. There are Eclectic parts (referring to how Ecl. Prog groups sounds like). There will be again long compositions (two even 16 & 18 minutes long, so it's quite impressive) and you can expect many changes of moods + long guitar solos. But most of all, this good old melody element is here still (I call it Symphonic, because it reminds me Vintage groups from 70's, but as I was told, it actually isn't Symphonic Prog at all, only some elements). This album is almost classical music experience, but for better understanding of this, please read previous review. These Swedish guys were being inspired again and it works, it works quite well and brings fruits of their labour. I can't even spell their names, but they're making music that takes breath on its own. 4(+), I'm not the only one here who loses breath, this album is becoming slightly worse towards the end, but nothing extremely bad, first let's say half is perfect.

I am talking about the title song, a brillaint piece of work. it contains everything I like about IQ and prog in general. Great powerful rhythm's and melodies,, wonderful changes and soli. And Peter Nichols voice (which I am not a big fan of otherwise) just fits perfectly here. it is only 8 minutes but a suit of it's own! There are other nice moments on the album, like the beautiful final part of "stronger than friction" and both ballads ("one fatal mistake" and "closer"). Although by far the longest track, an although I heard it quite some often now, I still do not "The province" which does nothing to me. Alltogether 4 stars, jsut because of the wonderful title track. In fact I prefer having one brilliant song and nothing else on one album rather than a whole nice album with no highlights. Frequency: 5 stars (6 really :-) Stronger than friction, Closer, One fatal mistake: 4 stars Ryker Skyes, life support: 3 stars The province: 2 stars Alltogether 4+ !
