YES
ABOUT YES ..... with all the good will but I can't classify them as Yes .... Geoff Downes . Jon Davison. Billy Sherwood. Jay Schellen. Steve Howe. I love Chris Squire's Yes Jon Anderson Rick Wakeman Tony Kaye Patrick Moraz Alan White Trevor Rabin Steve Howe if we add that I have never tolerated Sherwood's sound and that Steve Howe alone cannot compensate for the absence of all the other components who have composed many of the best tracks of this genre so I'm already very prejudiced in listening to this album and that in any case I found a good track that can be traced back to yes in the second track of the album ... for the rest an album between mediocre and sufficiency Hi friends 2023 Work in Progress..ive These are my best tracks of 2023 Track Title-Group or Artist-Album I'm Done with You-RIVERSIDE-ID.ENTITY Life Lines-SUNCHILD-Exotic Creatures and a Stolen Dream Scanning The Dark Horizon-JOHN IRVINE-Scanning The Dark Horizon Memories in a Box-SINGLE CELLED ORGANISM-EVENT HORIZON To_find_the_light_part_two-GREAT WIDE NOTHING-Hymns for Hungry Spirits, Vol. II Ghosts From The Future-OVERHEAD-Telepathic Minds (Disc 1) King_of_the_world-RPWL-Crime Scene(Disc 1) No Man's Land-TNNE-LIFE 3.0 Mysterious Forest, Pt. 1-KARFAGEN-Passage to the Forest of Mysterious Something New-MARTIN MILLER-Maze of My Mind Kill_the_sun_and_the_moon_and_the_stars-THE BLACK CAT'S EYE-The Empty Space Between A Seamount And Shock-Headed Julia Gargantuan.(Part One)-AMPLIFIER-Hologram The Beauty and the Least-MYSTERY-Redemption Scratches-INNER PROSPEKT-Canvas Three All Connected-YES-Mirror to the sky All Connected-YES https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nFEYGp1SJI GOOD LISTENING Last edited by nicola : 03-06-2024 at 04:12 AM.

COMEDY OF ERRORS
ABOUT COMEDY OF ERRORS ...from ProgArchives.comj Comedy Of Errors biography Formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1984 - Disbanded around 1990 - Reformed in 2011 Comedy Of Errors were formed in January 1984 with Joe Cairney (vocals), Jim Johnston (keyboards), John MacPhee (drums), Mike Barnard (guitars) & Steve Stewart, soon replaced by Mark Spalding (bass). Their first recording was a demo called "Ever be the Prize", and was recorded at a studio in Blanefield (Scotland) in 1985. They recorded a number of songs with Rog Patterson (of "Twice Bitten" fame) as producer, which were then further refined with the assistance of Mike Bentley and Niall Mathewson (Pallas). These were released as a "mini album" in 1986, strongly influenced by Pallas or Abel Ganz style. In 1987 when Mike Barnard left the band, Barry Henderson joined the band on bass while Mark Spalding played guitars. This line-up recorded the demo tape called "24 Hours" in November 1987 at Evenload Studios in East Kilbride. This was later combined with the mini album to form the band's only CD release under the french MSI label. Unfortunately, the quality of this release is very poor, being a direct transfer from vinyl, rather than master tapes. This is compounded by the fact that "The Student Prince Part One" has been omitted and replaced by an inferior version of a track from earlier on the disc. A change of direction was heralded in 1989 with the arrival of new lead vocalist John Cowden, replacing Joe Cairney who went on to join the Fire Brigade. The demo tape "Hold On" was recorded at Evenload Studios (East Kilbride) in May '89. The band were playing more standard rock songs, which were more suited to the new vocalist. They played regularly around Scotland, and then quietly disappeared from view. : : : Yves Le Perchec : : : Remarkably though, the story does not end there, and in 2011 Comedy of Errors reformed. As the band's official website succinctly puts it: "One man however kept faith in the original concept, dropped out of the prog scene completely, stayed in his room, kept writing new material and revising songs and waited.and waited.His name I don't recall but that's not important right now. Suffice to say it was hoped these mini-rock symphonies would, at some point in the future, see the light of day and find an appreciative audience. And so it was, thanks to those who kept faith in the music, the new incarnation of COMEDY OF ERRORS came to release their debut album ' DISOBEY ', a difficult birth, a long time in the making, but well worth the wait."

TRITOP
ABOUT TRITOP The band was founded in 2006 in Rome, Italy by Ivo DI TRAGILIA (drums) who, only a few years later, was joined by Pierfrancesco DI POFI (keyboards), Francesco CAPONERA (guitars), Jacopo TUZI (bass), Mattia FAGIOLO ( vocals). "Rise of Kassandra" is their debut album released in 2023. Their music is Progressive Rock with influences from 70's Symphonic Prog and the Neo-Prog I saw one of their long interviews that let me get to know this group better : first of all they all studied music , they are very young and all are passionate about prog music that they have always heard and therefore know the main groups that will surely enter their music . the strange thing that struck me is that the whole album was written by the drummer who is also the one who was looking for those who wanted to share his music .... there are 5 components but in reality there are some another .. the drummer's brother who writes the lyrics and helps the drummer in writing the tracks ... but anyway I think that from the next album the music will be enriched by the contribution of the others ... they are very determined guys who know what they want ... they look above all to the international market and the first goal is to be able to participate in some festivals in Europe to make themselves known .... the album is full of interesting ideas, I hope they keep their feet on the ground and that after the second album they don't start splitting up, a very common practice in Italian bands.

Re: 2023 Work in Progress..ive
ELOY
ABOUT ELOY ...from Official Site For a long time, not much was heard about ELOY. After the break-up, few expected to hear from them again. But the creative spark was not extinguished. Together with keyboarder Michael Gerlach from Berlin, Frank wrote songs for a new album »Ra«, which was released in 1988. To the surprise of everyone involved it made it to the German charts. After the painful experiences with the old band, Frank kept the line-up to two permanent members plus studio musicians and guests. Due to professional obligations, it was not feasible to continue ELOY right away. It was not until 1992 that there was another sign of life with the release of »Destination«. The sound involved fewer keyboards and more guitars now. Whether it was intentional or not, this mirrored the successful style of Frank's famous Hard'n'Heavy production company, Horus-Sound-Studios, rather than the essential ELOY sound. »Every step that we take is linked to our personal destiny, we cannot escape it.« According to Frank, this is the key message of the album. 1993 was a special year in the band's history with the 25th anniversary of ELOY the following year. It was to be celebrated with the ambitious »Chronicles« project, with two CDs comprising the best ELOY songs. Some of the material was re-recorded with the original cast, some was remixed or remastered. Klaus-Peter Matziol rejoined the band for this, making ELOY a trio. Inspired by the old song, they immediately started production of a new album which was intended to retain much of the original spirit. Autumn of this year saw the release of »The Tides Return Forever«, and, for the first time since the 80s, they were touring again. Backed up by drummer Bodo Schopf, guitar-player and keyboarder Steve Mann (both formerly of the McAuley Schenker Group) and backing singers Susanne Schätzle and Tina Lux they celebrated a quarter-century of ELOY, to the delight of many fans. Due to public demand, there was a second part to the tour in 1995, and the second part of »Chronicles«. was released that year as well. »What more is to come?« asked Frank Bornemann? The answer was »Ocean 2«. This ambitious project also owed itself to the fan club, which had been set up for the tour of '94. At that time, there was simply no way of finishing ELOY off. The song writing and recording went on for a long time. In 1998 the 16th studio album eventually saw the light of day. Positive reactions everywhere sent the band on another tour. Unfortunately, this was to be the last sign of life from Germany's most successful progressive rock band for a long time. In 2003, EMI released »Timeless Passages«, the ultimate song collection on two CDs. The product was graced with elaborate cover artwork, strongly suggestive of the band's heyday. Shortly afterwards, the last newly mastered old EMI studio albums hit the market. The back catalogue sold in respectable quantities, proving the interest of the fans was still alive. And so the people at Frank's label, Artist Station, which he founded together with Martin Kleemann, had to figure out a way of meeting expectations. In 2009, ELOY are celebrating their 40th anniversary. »The Legacy Box« DVD-set comprises a documentary on the history of the band, enriched with video clips, concert footage and TV appearances of the band. Many of the former and current members of the band have their say. Up to date? Yes, on the occasion of the anniversary, new music is being written and recorded. »Visionary«, is the title of the new album, set to challenge the best of the old ones. Frank has brought the band together again and inspired them to give their best. ELOY is back! With no live dates on the agenda, is was often assumed that this album was only produced as a one-off gesture by the band to thank their fans for their decade-long loyalty. The DVD title »The Legacy Box«, also contributed to the impression that this was a final statement on a completed career. However, the demand for further concert activities led to a real band reunion, especially with an invitation from the USAin 2011 to appear as headliner at the legendary Nearfest festival. Although this concert could not take place because Frank Bornemann had a serious accident and landed in hospital on the scheduled date, the band still appeared as headliner at two big festivals in Germany in autumn of the same year (»Herzberg-Festival« and »Night Of The Prog« at the Loreley), and performed a warm-up gig in Switzerland, their first live performance in 13 years. For the first time in their long career, Eloy also appeared on stage with six musicians (plus three guest singers), who were all still current or former original members of the band. The enormous response to these gigs,together with the constant demand from fans for further concerts, prompted the band to go on tour again with the same line-up in 2012 and 2013. The recordings made during the gigs were released as a live double album »Reincarnation on Stage« at the beginning of 2014, and immediately landed in the Top 40 of the official German album charts. Mastermind Frank Bornemann then withdrew from live performance to devote himself to composing music and writing lyrics for a long-planned project, a two-hour rock opera on the subject of the legendary French heroine of the Middle Ages, Joan of Arc. This, the most elaborate work in Eloy's history to date, to which all long-term members of the band contributed in the studio, took almost five years to complete(!) and was released under the title »The Vision, The Sword And The Pyre« as a band version 2017 and 2019 on two separate albums. Both albums reached high chart positions, received top marks from numerous reviewers, and also attracted much attention at a cultural level.

AGUSA
ABOUT AGUSA ...from Prog Archives.com Agusa biography Formed in Malmö, Sweden in 2013 AGUSA is a new prog quartet, initially comprised of Tobias Pettersson (bass), guitarist Mikael Ödesjö, drummer Dag Strömkvist and finally Jonas Berge on the organ. Some of them are also known from collaborating with bands like Sveriges Kommuner & Landsting, Kama Loka and Hoofoot. For the first time the musicians came together in early 2013. During the following summer they went out to the countryside in order to celebrate some jam sessions. The place is called Agusa, and that's why the band name finally established. In autumn they entered the studio to record their debut 'Högtid', which was released early 2014 on Transubstans Records and Kommun 2. Five authentic retro 70's progressive tunes are given, featuring dinstinctive organ work and a proper psychedelic fundament in the vein of Moonwagon, Hypnos69 and Astra. After a handful of gigs during the winter, Dag Strömkvist decided to leave and to travel around India for a while. The band auditioned a number of drummers, and eventually asked Tim Wallander from Magic Jove to join.
