Todd Mosby: Land of Enchantment (2023)

Matt Smith’s World: Into The Light (2023)

I must confess that I am sent a lot of music which can take time to get inside, whether it be avant-garde, technical death metal, jazz or prog, so sometimes the ears relax into a smile when they realise what is being played can be enjoyed the first time through...

Madre Vaca: Knights of the Round Table (2023)

When I was young, I was fascinated by the stories of King Arthur, Galahad, Guinevere and others, and I am sure this is why I named my first GSD, Merlin. Then of course came Rick Wakeman and his astonishingly ambitious and incredible first two albums, and from then on,...

Darrel Treece-Birch’s Atlantea: Choices (2023)

Darrel Treece-Birch’s Atlantea: Choices (2023)

Back in 2013 I was trawling the web one night and came across an album called ‘Celestial’ by Darrel Treece-Birch which seemed interesting, so I grabbed it and gave it a positive review. What I did not know was that Darrel at the time was not only keyboard player with...

Autopsy: Ashes, Organs, Blood and Crypts (2023)

Autopsy: Ashes, Organs, Blood and Crypts (2023)

Looking over at my music DVDs I can see Autopsy’s ‘Dark Crusades’, a rough and raw set of cuts dating all the way back to 1988. Back when this was released in 2006, Autopsy were a band who had been replaced by Abscess, no-one ever daring to believe that one of the...

DRIFTING SUN (UK) Veil

SHADOWS ON MERCURY (UK) Worlds Apart

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...

LOGOS (ITALY) Bokeh

In 2014, I took a chance on a Verona based band Logos and their majestic “L’Enigma della Vita” release, presumably because the title (The Enigma of Life) has always been a source of personal inspiration. The fact that the cover was extremely appealing also contributed...

WHAT”S GOIN’ ON

  • UK Pink Floyd Experience
    by Phil Lively on May 2, 2024 at 5:00 pm

    Central Theatre, Chatham Friday, 19th April 2024 I don’t often go and see tribute bands. It’s not that I’m some weird purist who disapproves of tribute acts, far from it! If the band that originally created the music is no…

  • Cephid – Sparks In The Darkness
    by James R. Turner (Guest) on May 1, 2024 at 5:00 pm

  • Nektar – Journey To The Other Side
    by Basil Francis on April 28, 2024 at 5:00 pm

    After being unexpectedly floored by my first listen to Recycled, I seem to have precariously placed myself as the Nektar correspondent at TPA… at least for the time being. Jumping from the band’s heyday straight into the present was probably…

  • Wheel – Charismatic Leaders
    by Phil Lively on April 27, 2024 at 5:00 pm

    It was so refreshing to see an album offered for review to TPA with such a pithy name. There’s none of this multisyllabic name nonsense, like Distended Algorithm or Beelzebub’s Hoover, this is the least Proggy name I’ve seen in…

  • Oliver Wakeman – Anam Cara
    by Peter Hilton on April 26, 2024 at 5:00 pm

  • The Tangent (For One) – To Follow Polaris
    by Kevan Furbank on April 25, 2024 at 5:00 pm

    The Tangent have been more of a real band in recent years, with a line-up that has been fairly stable since 2013. But there is no disguising the fact that, like the heavens circling the Pole Star, everything revolves around…
