MONARCH TRAIL
Third Album and Third Center for Monarch Trail and "Wither Down" not only continues the sequence of albums in a positive way but also raises the level of Track Quality to the point that it becomes difficult to choose one as the best ... in the previous 2 albums some less interesting track was here Ken Baird who continues to be the composer of all songs cancels the decrease in attention and creates an excellent album ... exceptional use of the piano in the opening song which then also gives the title of the album ... among those who have commented on the album more than someone has seen in the music of this album references to the first IQs…. and others a fusion of the styles of Genesis and Yes… .. I just want to thank the Monarch Trail for giving us some more excellent music. The track I have chosen is "Megalopolitana" Hi friends 2021 Work in Progress..ive These are my best tracks of 2021 Track Title-Group or Artist-Album The Pilgrim Suite -Andrew Stone-The Pilgrim Discworld - Projector - Glass Kites -Glass Kites II The Trial of the King - Chromatic Aberration -The Trial of the King 4Th Dimension - ProAge-Wymiar Claustrophobia-Eyesberg-Claustrophobia Rainy Sunday-Maxxess-Reactivate Colorbox-Raven Sad-The Leaf And The Wing Bit By Bit-Syrinx Call-Mirrorneuron Power Trip Career Aspirations-Lucas Lee -Sindrome De Estocolmo The Darkness in the Light-Transatlantic-The Absolute Universe: Forevermore Soul_Of_Hundred_Lives-Inner Prospekt-Canvas Two Flare_2-Richard_Barbieri-Under a Spell Cosmic Krautrock-Stephan Thelen-Fractal Guitar 2 Rite_Of_Accession-Elephant9-Arrival Of The New Elders In Discipline And With Love-Kerrs Pink-Presence Of Life Marcha_De_Sonidos_Parte_2-Black Expression-Regreso A Casa Crossing-Cast-Vigesimus Alice_Krige_Parts_1_and_2-Heard Of Istinct-Unravel Altitude-Lifesigns-Altitude In_1985-Cosmograf-Rattrapante Sailing_To_Byzantium-Nad Sylvan-Spiritus Mundi Halo_Drive-Corrado Rustici -Interfulgent Tiresias-Noisy Diners-The Princess of the Allen Key Alice-The Mad Lab-Design of Experiments The Real History Of Tom Wheel, Pt. 1 (The Curse) -Fabricio Pipini(feat.Platinum)-Phantasicah (A Dreamer's Tale) Walk_Away-Bernardo Lanzetti-Horizontal Rain Broken Windows-Zygon-Earth And Sky The Ascent-The Emerald Down-To Touch The Sky Connecting_The_Dots-Confusion Field -Disconnection Complete Day_And_Age-Frost* -Day And Age Haunted_House-Joe_Bailey -Ghosts Winter-Resistor -The 5th Season Book Of Coming Forth By Day-Blacksmith Tales-The Dark Presence Iron John-The Samurai Of Prog -The Lady And The Lion And Other Grimm Tales Go Viral-Sylvan-One to Zero Room 101-Karmamoi-Room 101 Hidden Land-Daniel Eliseev Project -Lost Humanity Apollo-Big Big Train - Common Ground Dissolution-Smalltape -THE HUNGRY HEART Dark World-Metamorphosis-I'm Not A Hero White Ghosts-Alessandro Corvaglia-Out Of The Gate Beyond the Years-The Neal Morse Band -Innocence & Danger Shanghai_to_Samarkand-Steve Hackett -Surrender Of Silence The_Cashectomy-Benjamin Croft -Far And Distant Things Red-The Watch-The Art of Bleeding In Disequilibrium, part 3-Isildurs Bane & Peter Hammill-In Disequilibrium Added Megalopolitana-Monarch Trail -Wither Down from http://www.progarchives.com/ Last edited by nicola : 11-10-2021 at 04:00 PM. |

AMAROK
Amarok is back with a new album! Michał and Marta Wojtas are joined by their old friends – Kornel Popławski and Konrad Zieliński. The result of this collaboration is the album “Hero” – a spiritual sequel to the 2017 “Hunt”. Much like the aforementioned „Hunt”, the upcoming album presents a fusion of musical styles known and loved by fans and critics alike. Here the sounds of progressive rock folk and ambient mix together, complemented by a wonderful and subtle guitar virtuosity. The soundscape feels exotic, thanks to the use of uncommon instruments such as violin, theremin, wind gong, djembe, harmonium, flute, and rainsticks. The pieces have a strong lyrical layer, with their vocals referencing the ongoing digitalization of our life and the unsure position of a human in the future world. There are also beautiful instrumental fragments reminiscent of film scores similar in style to the depictions from the War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. Hero is a story of a protagonist, fighting for survival, going up against reality and themselves. It’s about everyone courageously facing the unknown. The lyrics based on this idea, also touch on the current pandemic and the state of the world. The upcoming album „Hero” is a collection of innovative, fresh, and spatial compositions with just as good lyrical parts, that inquires into our current questions about the future. We recommend spending a while to relax, reflect and enter the world of this unique music. The climate of each and every piece mesmerizes the first time you hear it and brings you back again and again.

Re: 2021 Work in Progress..ive
DREAM THEATER
I live permanently in my ProgLand, I feel great and sometimes I like to make some visits to the border where I always find Dream Theater very happy or go to more distant lands such as electronic music or go to the territory of great jazzrock-fusion instrumentalists. ... today I chose to breathe the sound of this band that is classified as progressive metal but in many songs definitely metal but always very far from the metal of only noise of many groups ... The Dream Theater were born in 1985 from the meeting of JOHN PETRUCCI , JOHN MYUNG and MIKE PORTNOY who attended the same prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston Taking into account only the current components in 1991 he joins the group JAMES LABRIE who responds to an announcement from the DT who were looking for a singer and finds himself in a club with 200 other aspirants and wins the challenge that has consecrated him a decisive component of the group's success, very generous in performances live just to make comparisons with the due differences what Robert Plant and Ian Gillan were for Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple in 1999 he joined the group JORDAN RUDESS which certainly contributes to adding a more prog and less metal sound and this thanks to his admission of being influenced by artists such as Keith Emerson, Tony Banks, Rick Wakeman and Patrick Moraz and having among the his favorite bands Gentle Giant, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, Jimi Hendrix, Autechre, and Aphex Twin ... also very interested in any new devilry applicable to his keyboards in order to always generate new sounds. 2 Videos to learn more about the thousand facets of Jordan Rudess a guarantee why the sound of the DT does not turn towards only metal sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCimXv5LzcY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp9Ie9IvPTU in 2011 MIKE MANGINI last joined the band to replace Mike Portnoy's exit it's been 10 years now that the line-up hasn't changed and not only do I think it's the best ... but I also hope this remains returning to MIKE MANGINI I think JAMES LABRIE suggested his entry, who had him in his 3 albums only but apart from this possible recommendation, the biography of this drummer speaks of a child who at the age of 2 and a half was already having fun with a drums and at 9 he trained from 2 to 4 hours a day and then joined the DT with a 360 degree drum set, seeing him live in his percussion cage is a show. I am pleased to read many positive comments that recognize its value in the following video in which MIKE is training to face the World Tour and he does it with a reduced battery in the same configuration as the recording of the album but uses the base of the excellent ALIEN sent at a speed of 10% higher than the original this to find everything easier in live performances https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFx19PMxGTc And here we are finally at this umpteenth Dream Theater album with 2 excellent tracks inside, the first opens the album .. "Alien" and the last "A View from the Top of the World" both very suitable to open their next show on the world tour that are about to start in February 2022 ... both tracks have a long instrumental introduction with a strong impact that when it returns to the initial chorus opens the scene at the entrance of LaBrie ... we will see which song they choose to open the concert Taking a step back I like to insert the genesis of this album as told by the DT themselves From their Official Site __________________________________________________ ____________ Dream Theater – comprised of James LaBrie, John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung and Mike Mangini - was in the middle of a sold-out world tour in support of their last release Distance Over Time and the 20th anniversary of Scenes From A Memory when a Global Pandemic brought the world to a stop. The musicians found themselves at home with LaBrie in Canada and the rest of the group in the States. As fate would have it, they’d just finished construction on DTHQ (Dream Theater Headquarters) —a combination live recording studio, rehearsal space, control room, equipment storage, and creative hive. With LaBrie in Canada, he initially wrote with the band via ZOOM on a monitor in DTHQ. In March 2021, he flew down to New York, quarantined, and recorded his vocals face-to-face with Petrucci. The album ultimately threaded together lean and uncompromising hooks with tried-and-true technical proficiency. “We just love to play our instruments,” observes Petrucci. “That never goes away. I love to be creative, write, and exercise that part of my mind. We’ve been able to do this for a long time, and we don’t take it for granted. Whenever we get together, we know we can’t disappoint ourselves or our fans, so we manage to try even harder.” “We approach every album like it’s our first,” adds LaBrie. “It’s been such a great ride, but we’re not going to stop.” __________________________________________________ ____________ I have chosen for my best tracks of 2021 "A View from the Top of the World" a suite consisting of 3 parts i. The Crowning Glory ii. Rapture of the Deep iii. The Driving Force which takes place with many variations of rhythm for a duration of over 20 minutes…. The long tracks of the DT are the ones that I like the most and are those in which they manage to enhance the qualities of all the members of the group and where it is also easier to identify them as a progressive metal band.

SPHERICAL AGENDA
Spherical Agenda hails from Cincinnati, OH, and features some of the best prog players in the Midwest .... Bassist Matt Wiles, drummer Devon Leigh, keyboardist Ben Tweedt and guitarist Brandon Coleman create a sound that blends progressive rock, jazz and fusion. ARCANE WISDOM, the band's entire debut album, is an eclectic assortment of compositions with diverse musical influences. The album deals with jazz-rock in its various facets while always keeping the level of music high, an entire instrumental album ... demonstrating a richness that means that on the first album they did not do anything wrong and certainly a group not to be underestimated anything. and certainly that it could certainly give us other albums of the same level but also certainly superior to this one ... difficult to find the best song, I have identified 3 songs, I have a preference on "GUTS" but the doubt on other 2 "STEAK JAZZ" and "COLEMAN'S QUESTION" the other songs are also very respectable and without a doubt those who love jazzrock will have a new group to follow Hi friends 2021 Work in Progress..ive These are my best tracks of 2021 Track Title-Group or Artist-Album The Pilgrim Suite -Andrew Stone-The Pilgrim Discworld - Projector - Glass Kites -Glass Kites II The Trial of the King - Chromatic Aberration -The Trial of the King 4Th Dimension - ProAge-Wymiar Claustrophobia-Eyesberg-Claustrophobia Rainy Sunday-Maxxess-Reactivate Colorbox-Raven Sad-The Leaf And The Wing Bit By Bit-Syrinx Call-Mirrorneuron Power Trip Career Aspirations-Lucas Lee -Sindrome De Estocolmo The Darkness in the Light-Transatlantic-The Absolute Universe: Forevermore Soul_Of_Hundred_Lives-Inner Prospekt-Canvas Two Flare_2-Richard_Barbieri-Under a Spell Cosmic Krautrock-Stephan Thelen-Fractal Guitar 2 Rite_Of_Accession-Elephant9-Arrival Of The New Elders In Discipline And With Love-Kerrs Pink-Presence Of Life Marcha_De_Sonidos_Parte_2-Black Expression-Regreso A Casa Crossing-Cast-Vigesimus Alice_Krige_Parts_1_and_2-Heard Of Istinct-Unravel Altitude-Lifesigns-Altitude In_1985-Cosmograf-Rattrapante Sailing_To_Byzantium-Nad Sylvan-Spiritus Mundi Halo_Drive-Corrado Rustici -Interfulgent Tiresias-Noisy Diners-The Princess of the Allen Key Alice-The Mad Lab-Design of Experiments The Real History Of Tom Wheel, Pt. 1 (The Curse) -Fabricio Pipini(feat.Platinum)-Phantasicah (A Dreamer's Tale) Walk_Away-Bernardo Lanzetti-Horizontal Rain Broken Windows-Zygon-Earth And Sky The Ascent-The Emerald Down-To Touch The Sky Connecting_The_Dots-Confusion Field -Disconnection Complete Day_And_Age-Frost* -Day And Age Haunted_House-Joe_Bailey -Ghosts Winter-Resistor -The 5th Season Book Of Coming Forth By Day-Blacksmith Tales-The Dark Presence Iron John-The Samurai Of Prog -The Lady And The Lion And Other Grimm Tales Go Viral-Sylvan-One to Zero Room 101-Karmamoi-Room 101 Hidden Land-Daniel Eliseev Project -Lost Humanity Apollo-Big Big Train - Common Ground Dissolution-Smalltape -THE HUNGRY HEART Dark World-Metamorphosis-I'm Not A Hero White Ghosts-Alessandro Corvaglia-Out Of The Gate Beyond the Years-The Neal Morse Band -Innocence & Danger Shanghai_to_Samarkand-Steve Hackett -Surrender Of Silence The_Cashectomy-Benjamin Croft -Far And Distant Things Red-The Watch-The Art of Bleeding In Disequilibrium, part 3-Isildurs Bane & Peter Hammill-In Disequilibrium Megalopolitana-Monarch Trail -Wither Down Hero-Amarok-Hero A View From The Top Of The World-Dream Theater- A View From The Top Of The World Invisible Killer-Andrew Roussak- Crossing the Line Added Guts-Spherical Agenda-Arcane Wisdom Guts-Spherical Agenda https://sphericalagenda.bandcamp.com/track/guts-2 .... the doubt in the choice with: Coleman's Question-Spherical Agenda https://sphericalagenda.bandcamp.com...edo-reyes-jr-2 Steak Jazz-Spherical Agenda https://sphericalagenda.bandcamp.com...fredo-reyes-jr GOOD LISTENING .....and finally the video of the long live version of the excellent "Steak Jazz" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2SDmjA8WhI Last edited by nicola : 01-10-2022 at 07:17 PM. |
