It becomes quite daunting when the entire discography over the years of a band are all major winners, with nary a thought of any weaker one among the lot. Such is the case with my long love affair with Drifting Sun going back to 2015 when I discovered the band’s “Trip...

Here is a consistently focused artist that just keeps on giving every year sterling musical adventures, that pay homage to the early glory years of Progressive rock. Yes, there is an obvious Floyd reference, as well as the Moody Blues and early Alan Parsons Project,...

Guitarist, vocalist, and keyboard player Roland Van der Horst is, after 15 long years, back in the prog game with a long-awaited new album, which I happily jumped on as I really enjoyed all their previous recordings.  Longtime bassist Pieter Drost and new drummer Lex...

The second album comes a decade later, after the well received and critically acclaimed self titled debut from the Livorno band, proving that patience is definitely a virtue, especially when the end result is so satisfying. They did however put out a covers tribute of...

Things constantly change in our mad, mad world, often pulled apart by a wide variety of human attributes of the lesser kind, namely jealousy, conflicting egos, falsehoods, mood swings (natural or externally ingested), and of course, the grand daddy of them all...

Before anything, deep appreciation to Gabriel of French prog review site Prog Critique for his wonderful review of this new album, that steered me into purchasing it. As per norm, he was spot on in his analysis.  Geography was and still is my favourite subject, which...

Ten years ago, I had the pleasure of discovering a new band from Sweden called A Secret River with an album entitled Colours of Solitude. Deeply melodic and highly attractive prog music, firmly led by a strong bass guitar presence, superb drumming as well as judicious...

Another band that incorporates a mixture of spacy electronic pop with progressive flashes that can inject a great amount of fun into the often-overbearing complexity of listening to endless epic tracks loaded with eccentric chops, mutinous transitions and dizzying...

In the seemingly revolving door of original neo-prog bands, namely Marillion, IQ, Pendragon, and Pallas (you can throw in Arena as a later add-on), releasing great albums and reclaiming some illusory throne, the competition is quite stiff as each tries to secure its...

Canadian artist Ken Baird has sent another new prog butterfly into our progressive path, an always most appreciated gift for fans of melodic excursions that are forging forever forward, carrying all the classic tendencies that has crowned so many legendary albums. He...
