Mark’s Quick Review: Ghost’s – Prequelle0 (0)
This varied genre band that can be discribed as Heavy metal, doom metal, hard rock, psychedelic rock progressive rock, or pop rock has made an album for prog fans in Prequelle. Usually the band is too heavy for the middle of the road prog fan. This time if anything its too poppy. When they were asked about how mainstream America is reacting to their new sound they are quoted as saying America is absolutely welcoming us with open legs This album is full of shorter songs with enjoyable medleys. Its for fans of Opeth's Damnation. ALBUM...
Mark’s Quick Review: Tamarisk’s – Breaking The Chains0 (0)
This long lost music of Tamarisk was orginally released on cassette and cd in the early 80's. All of Tamarisk's tracks remastered from original quarter inch tapes. This cd comes with Four newly recorded songs from Tamarisk's 1984 live set, A 16 page booklet telling the story of Tamarisk, The lyrics to all 11 songs. It is great that in the early 80's that they were making Progressive Rock in the face of the current trends of the era. Here is the thing it does sound dated to me, I mean it is 40 years old. So I think if you go in knowing you...
Mark’s Quick Review: Toinen Toista’s – Toinen Toista0 (0)
This band really surprised me. I was looking at the artwork and I was expecting another under average album. I was wrong. This Finnish band has really captured the beauty of 70's era prog. The title track and the final epic track are the best tracks I believe and all songs are nice and moody. T After listening a few times I even saw the beauty of the album art work. I have linked the title track below to our request system. Give it a listen. ALBUM HIGHLIGHTS: Request Toinen Toista Here Click above to purchase at Amazon US or Amazon UK and...
Mark’s Quick Review: The Fierce and The Dead’s-The Euphoric0 (0)
So the Fierce and the Dead is a band I have had the pleasure of seeing live and actually hanging out with too. They are on the fringe of my tastes. So I would be hard pressed to give them an outstanding review based on my own personal likes. The band is a four piece band from London with two guitars, base and drums. They grew from what was going to be Matt Stevens' second solo album. This album is still great despite them not being in my sweet spot of prog. This hard driving instrumental band has a lot going for it. Its different,...
Mark’s Quick Review: Subsignal’s – La Muerta0 (0)
Subsignal's - La Muerta For me this band made a large positive leap with their 2013 album Paraíso so I was a little bit worried that maybe this album would go backwards a bit but those fears were unfounded. The 2018 Release is their best album to date. There are consistently more above average songs on this album than its predecessors. For fans of bands such as RPWL which makes sense because Yogi Lang and Kalle Wallner produced this album. My favorite tracks are below, feel free to request one. ALBUM HIGHLIGHTS: Request the Bells of Lyonesse...
Mark’s Quick Review: A Perfect Circle’s – Eat the Elephant0 (0)
A Perfect Circle's Eat the Elephant review A Perfect Circle has awoken 14 years since their last album with Eat the Elephant and we are sure glad they did. The Album is a bit mellower than their previous but not a mellow album. Maynard James Keenan (Tool) vocals are outstanding and front half of this album is about as good as anything I have heard all year. I really like the direction they took with more piano and electronica. This is for fans of Galahad and Tool for sure. I think that anyone that likes albums as heavy as I rated this will...
