Re: 2021 Work in Progress..ive
DRIFTING SUN
DRIFTING SUN - FORSAKEN INNOCENCE A Good Neo Prog Album featuring IQ bassist JOHN JOWITT The Track I chose is: Forsaken Innocence (Part 1) follows the Biography and a series of comments on the Group and the Album From Progarchives.com Drifting Sun biography Founded in Chesham, UK circa 1994 - Hiatus between 1999-2013 - Reformed in 2014 DRIFTING SUN were formed sometime during early-90's (originally named Drama), after French natives Pat Sanders (keyboards) and Manu Sibona (bass) left their homecountry and landed in the UK. There they met American singer Rafe Pomeroy and four pieces were recorded in a London-based studio, then sent to Musea for evaluation. The French label decided to sign the band on their branch-label Brennus and in 1996 the self-titled debut of the band sees the light with Karl Groom participating on one track. Drifting Sun decided to move on as an independent group, the line-up was expanded with the addition of Tobin Bryant and Bryant's friend, guitarist John Spearman, while Pomerey was replaced by another American vocalist, Chris Martini.By the end of the year 1998 the band had launched the sophomore effort "On the Rebound". What followed was a very long break, but recently Sanders gave his band another chance, gathering a new line-up with singer Peter Falconer, drummer Will Jones and bassist/guitarist Dan Storey. The third work of DRIFTING SUN "Trip the Life Fantastic" was released in early 2015, a digital album, available via several online digital stores. __________________________________________________ ___________ More adventurous and daring than anything Arena, IQ or Pendragon have done. Most like Magenta at its finest feisty moments. (Progarchives) One of the best albums of 2021 so far and in my opinion their best to date (Progarchives) Let's hope that this collaboration will continue, because the first outcome of it is simply wonderful! (Progarchives) Together with this current line-up, I am sure this will wind up at the very top of 2021's lists for most, if not all, prog aficionados out there. It is THAT good! (Progarchives) An excellent album for any prog lover to test out for themselves. (Progarchives) There are a number of very good Prog bands around at the moment but I have to say that Drifting Sun are making music that works on just about every level and of all I’ve heard this year ‘Forsaken Innocence’ is definitely the best of them. (music-news/UK) “Forsaken Innocence” is a merciless piece of art. (Progenrock/The Netherlands) If you don’t know Drifting Sun yet, it’s time to open the door to he magic with “Forsaken Innocence”, their latest masterpiece. (Rock at Night/USA) L'album de la consécration ultime, l'avenir nous le dira? Indispensable à mes yeux et à mes oreilles. (Profil Prog/Canada) When a new studio work by DRIFTING SUN is released, nothing more than a masterpiece can be expected... in response to the immense advance praise, DRIFTING SUN present a 70-minute mammoth work. (Saitenkult/Germany) This is a giant of an album. (Background/The Netherlands) Cet album est bien sûr destiné à tous les progueux comme à tous les amateurs de belle musique où mélodie et technique font bon ménage. (Music in Belgium/Belgium) Overall Drifting Sun has created a very nice neo-progressive album, with great instrumental parts and a vocalist showing his best side. (Prog Space/USA) This album is as zesty a piece of neo-prog as you are likely to find. It is a monumental statement for Drifting Sun. The Spirit of Progressive Rock/UK) Drifting Sun nous balance, sans en avoir l’air, un grand album, peut-être même le meilleur de leur discographie, avec une production soignée et un sens de la composition qui fait mouche à tous les coups. « Forsaken Innocence » hisse le groupe au niveau des formations clés du paysage progressif! (ProgCritique/France) A massive progressive tour-de-force. (musicarockprogresivo/Spain) The whole band is in awesome form and the performances have a character of their own, without however overshadowing the compositions. (Progrocks/Greece) This new album is truly the pinnacle of their work so far. It’s an engaging, captivating and sensational listen every time you press play and is deservedly up there fighting for the honours of album of the year. (Progradar/UK) The strongest “Drifting Sun‘ album to date. When it comes to dynamic-melodic prog, they are pretty much the measure of all things at the moment. (Empire/Germany) Without a doubt “Forsaken Innocence” is the best album in their oeuvre. And perhaps, time will tell, a neoprog icon. (ProgWereld/The Netherlands) Beautiful compositions, warm atmospheres and exquisite chamber rock touches help to compose an aesthetically perfect album. (rocking/Greece) Drifting Sun parmi les grands, cette fois, j’en fais le pari! (Prog Censor/France) It just made it on my top-10-album-of-the-year-2021-list (despite fierce competition). (DPRP/The Netherlands) Forsaken Innocence is without a doubt the best Drifting Sun has ever made and is bursting with beautiful songs with everything a lover of well-made, well-played and well-sung prog rock could wish for. (Eriks Progtracks/The Netherlands) Forsaken Innocence sort Drifting Sun de l'ornière 'néo' où il a été confiné jusqu'ici. Sa musique est désormais plus grandiose, plus travaillée et plus diverse.

Re: 2021 Work in Progress..ive
CLIVE NOLAN
"Song of the Wildlands" an album by Clive Nolan one of the most famous keyboard players ex Pendagron ex Arena and many other groups, he collaborated on some albums with Oliver Wakeman son of Rick Wakeman and perhaps this frequentation led him to write "Song of the Wildlands" a rock work that must be listened to from beginning to end just to understand the style is that of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" by Rick Wakeman .... the atmospheres of the story translated into music are very beautiful ... the sung parts. ... many artists have collaborated ... and the choirs formed by 200 people are also very beautiful. I will not extract a track from this album for my 2021 show precisely because it must be taken as a single track to be listened to all at once from start to finish and for this reason I recommend listening to this excellent album to those who like the genre.
