Show 98 - Catching Up
 

Some diverse music either burned for me or bought by me recently...

from Mongol "Dopoler 444" (1997)

From the Beyond - Doppler 444 (9:58)
Garadama (7:04)
Merazoma (6:47)

Dense fusion from Japan.

from Rak "Lepidoptera" (2004)

To the Refuge (5:30)
Metamorhosis: two (1:51)
Lepidoptera: Beast (1:41)
Lepidoptera: Savage (1:55)
The Consequences (3:26)
Those Bright Wings (5:22)
Last Words (2:23)
Departure (4:22)
Migration (6:28)

Prog, but with a new wave bent at times. Very reliant on keyboards..it got great reviews as I researched, but I totally missed it when it came out.

Both of these burned by Podakayne for my long car ride in July, a big thanks to her :heart:

Group 87 - Sublime Feline (6:25)

Just one song from a CD from 1980 that you can hear on the Moon. I paid 25 cents for it and that's how much I like it. Mark Isham, Peter Maunu (Ponty's band), and Patrick O'Hearn. The only song on this week's show presently on the Moon playlist!

Encompass (2006) - selected songs...

A Postwar Requiem (8:16)
Perchance to Dream (5:30)
Impulse (4:20)
The Eyes of Ankara (9:02)

Virginia-based prog-metal, opened for Spock's Beard earlier this year (that's where I got the CD, a promo). Mature stuff for a debut, although a bit limited because of the genre. There's a section in "Ankara" that's a dead ringer for Rush's "Lamneth".

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - from "Watch" (1978)

Circles
Dreaming on Dry Land / Fish Soup
Chicago Institute
California

Missing Mick Rogers, it lacks the greatness of the earlier records, especially "Nightingales and bombers", a desert-island disc for me. Still quality stuff.

Wishbone Ash - from "No Smoke Without Fire" (1978)

You See Red
Baby The Angels Are Here
Ships in the Sky
Like A Child
Way of the World (part 2)
Come In From the Rain (live)

Another band I lost track of, with an earlier "desert-island" record (the magnificent "Argus")..

Mossy bought this and shipped it from Vegas :heart:

After Crying - from "After Crying Show" (2003)

NWC
Remote Control
Technopolis?
Life Must Go On

The progmasters from Hungary put out a very eclectic, ambitious CD in 2003. It's all over the place, with lots of political and social commentary.

Enjoy the ride this week!

Thanks to Aural Moon and the Rickter Scale, other wise we might not hear of them.
