Arka’n Asrafokor: Dzikkuh (2024)

Isrea Butler: Congo Lament (2024)

Back in the late Seventies, when I was studying for exams, I liked to play music as a background but found if I listened to my own albums I got easily distracted, so instead used to raid my dad’s jazz collection instead. That was where I first came across the mighty...

Intelligent Music Project: Miracles Beyond (2024)

Atom Stone: Take Me To The Fire (2024)

Demon: Invincible (2024)

It is strange to think that Demon have been on the scene for more than 40 years, releasing their debut single all the way back in 1979 as part of the NWOBHM movement, and although there have been line-up changes over the years, singer Dave Hill has been there since...

TEODICEA (ITALY) Il Mondo Esausto

PATRICK BROGUIERE (France) Destinations

Like many among seasoned prog writers, the Rogue has compiled over the last half century (time flies) a colossal collection that is comprised of MOST of the top 2 tiers in terms of fame, which should not be surprising. But what may be shocking for some, is that there...

RUBY DAWN (UK) Blood on Water

This delectable UK band was among the top 25 recordings for 2023’s PROG ROGUE list, a very rare event for a debut release, as “Beyond Tomorrow “just stunned many a prog reviewer into complete agreement. Four veteran and highly gifted musicians who had us pundits...

ODDLEAF (FRANCE) Where Ideal and Denial Collide

A debut album with a title like that will definitely get the Rogue’s attention, and as transatlantic telepathic waves often work well, the band contacted this writer for a review of their impending release. Oddleaf has been working on this work for over 4 years, a...

FRANT1C (FRANCE) A Brand New World

Contrary to popular opinion vehiculated by many neophyte listeners discovering prog, our beloved genre does not limit itself to exploring only science-fiction, Tolkienesque tales, historical figures or deep philosophical topics. More often than not, the human...

WHAT”S GOIN’ ON

  • Nick Fletcher
    by Darren Walker on October 6, 2024 at 5:05 pm

    I have a love hate relationship with the term ‘A musician’s musician’ as, to me, it seems to imply either of two things. Firstly that they make music that is somehow too clever for the general public, making something that…

  • Nick Fletcher
    by Darren Walker on October 6, 2024 at 5:00 pm

    Holy Trinity Church, Sheffield Saturday, 28th September 2024 I will start with a confession, which is that, long ago I took guitar lessons for two years and only learnt how to play the A chord and the A chord badly.…

  • Wokingham Festival 2024

  • Rick Wakeman – Yessonata
    by Basil Francis on October 4, 2024 at 5:00 pm

    It’s understandable that one could be sceptical of a release such as this. After all, Mr Wakeman has cashed in on his Yes connection as well as his own back catalogue more times than I can possibly count. Yessonata certainly…

  • Highway ’24 Festival
    by David Edwards on October 3, 2024 at 5:00 pm

    Eiger Studios, Leeds Saturday, 21st September 2024 After two years in Hull, Al Winter and This Winter Machine, moved their annual day festival to Leeds for a highly enjoyable full day of prog at the nicely filled, quirky and intimate…

  • 35 Tapes – Fabric Of Time
    by Richard Swan on October 2, 2024 at 5:00 pm

    It’s been three years since the 35 Tapes album, Home. Back then, when I reviewed that album on these pages, I described their music as “happy memories of the symphonic, melodic, pastoral prog, peppered with 12-string guitars, mellotron, the beat…

  • Big Big Train / Stuckfish
    by Colin Smoult on September 30, 2024 at 5:05 pm

    Playhouse Theatre, Whitley Bay Thursday, 19th September 2024 Big Big Train have a career that spans back over 34 years, since their formation in 1990. For a band with that kind of longevity, you would have expected them to have…

  • Alberto Bravin – Big Big Train
    by Colin Smoult on September 30, 2024 at 5:00 pm

    I had already purchased my ticket for the Big Big Train show at Whitley Bay, yet through fellow TPA member Chris Simmons and his contacts, I managed to obtain permission to do an interview on the day of the gig.…

  • Funhouse Mirrors – Red Bird
    by John Giordano on September 29, 2024 at 5:00 pm

    One of the best things about working with TPA is the opportunity to explore new bands. Funhouse Mirrors is a young group out of my home state of New Jersey that I first ran into while they were previewing their…

  • Tim Bowness – Powder Dry
    by Mel Allen on September 28, 2024 at 5:00 pm

    I have been an avid follower of Tim’s right from his first solo release, and it is great to see his slowly changing and evolving musical stylings over his seven previous albums, a truly progressive journey for him, one might…
