THE TANGENT
ABOUT THE TANGENT ...The TANGENT From progarchives.com The Tangent biography Formed in 2002 in Northern England, UK THE TANGENT is a project originally formed by Andy Tillison, Guy Manning and Sam Baine of PARALLEL OR 90 DEGREES [Po90] as well as half of THE FLOWER KINGS including Jonas Reingold, Zoltan Csorsz and guitar virtuoso and former KAIPA member Roine Stolt. Of course to put further icing on the cake David Jackson of VAN DER GRAFF GENERATOR would lend his legendary sax to the band for their debut album. This started out as a mere project and was actually intended to be a Tillison solo effort before it became a full fledged band as Tillison felt the need to produce something more typically 'prog' than he'd been doing in Po90. Of course it has to be noted that this really is Andy Tillison's affair since over the years the entire roster (spare Tillison and Manning) has been changed due to many different circumstances, which has really not affected the supergroup as many would expect. Often asked about his changing line up, Tillison responds by saying that it's all part of a prog band's life and fans of the genre know all about line-up changes by now. THE TANGENT is quite a dynamic band in terms of line up even now as they recruit several members of BEARDFISH onto their team, having been impressed by them on the "Not As Good As The Book" tour. This does make for a very dynamic sound which leaves the band with a fresh angle for each album. Often touted as a 'retro' band thanks to their old school sound, the band does have a very 'classic' prog feel to them with Tillison's prominent synths. THE TANGENT has often been compared to YES and KING CRIMSON in style because of the mixture of Light and Dark with Stolt and Tillison (respectively) at the helm of the project. Highly melodic and very inclined to write sprawling epics THE TANGENT should satisfy the tastes of any prog listener who wants to go back to the roots of the genre while maintaining a contemporary message and feel. Their music is often cynical as Tillison has often been seen as 'the dark horse' of the modern progressive scene, his lyrics often poking fun at modern music and tendencies as shown in every one of their albums, but especially "The Music That Died Alone" and their newest effort to date, "Not As Good As The Book", which is a largely sarcastic and cynical look at the world that turned out to be not as good as we thought it would be. heir second effort, "The World That We Drive Through" continued the band's approach as on their first one but without the help of David Jackson on the sax. The first two albums can easily be seen to work in connection with each other even in naming conventions and the similar, striking artwork that graces both albums. If there's one thing that the second album did that really made it different from the first was establish that this was more than just a mere project, making cohesive suits (as opposed to split) and even changing their sound slightly (this one often seen as more jazz oriented) while keeping the general tone of the debut. "A Place In The Queue" remains a modern prog essential and proved that Tillison would be able to continue the band without the Flower King (Roine Stolt) on the roster. This band is highly recommended to anyone who is a fan of THE FLOWER KINGS and anyone who wants to hear what's new in the prog scene. This is music by prog fans for prog fans as Tillison himself proves to be just as big as a prog freak as any of us would expect him to be and seems to know just how to quench the progressive thirst.

GLASS ISLAND
ABOUT GLASS ISLAND ...GLASS ISLAND from an interview by Artur Chachlowski Wojciech Pielużek, independent rock composer from Wrocław, guitarist, singer and, increasingly, music producer, has already written quite a list. In the years 2001-2007, as a very young musician, he was the frontman of the interesting and promising band Lavender. He then had the opportunity to share the stage with, among others, recognized prog-rock companies such as Riverside and RPWL. A few years later, he becomes the driving force behind the Strange Moments project, in which he is responsible for the compositions and parts of all instruments, and the microphone is entrusted to singers Asia Łukaszuk and Marzena Słowik. Pilużek is a very prolific and eclectic creator, a musical researcher who constantly searches for new solutions. Therefore, despite Strange Moments being well developed, he launched another project: Glass Island. The second album under this banner has just been released. An excellent album, harmonious and prog-rock. "The Damage Report" would not fail to win the ranking of the best albums created or co-created by Wojciech Pielużek. Wojciech Pielużek another multi-instrumentalist, this way of creating albums is becoming more and more widespread and the results are always positive, lots of good music as in this case an album to listen to from start to finish, for now I choose a "stay_under_cover" but I could change Hi friends 2024 Work in Progress..ive These are my best tracks of 2024 Track Title-Group or Artist-Album Stranger Skies-ELLESMERE-Stranger Skies Quasar-SONIQ THEATER-Solar Winds The End-HUGO TORO-The Journey Searching For Mr. Kite (Expanded Version)-KARFAGEN-Messages From Afar: Second Nature Sky Coaster-SCOTT HENDERSON-KARNEVEL!

CEN-projekt
ABOUT CEN-projekt ...CEN-projekt from progarchives.com and official website Cen-ProjekT biography From Germany, this is the project of multi-instrumentalist Chirs ENGELS and a trio with bass player Wolfgang KROPF and drummer Marius BOFFGEN. The lyrics are inspired by poems. Chris has also released many studio albums under his name, but these are more on the heavier side. The music here in his 9 albums with the band has some influences from the 70's symphonic prog and bands like GENESIS and PINK FLOYD. I am happy to release the new concept album "The Story of Enja" today :-) I assume it will be released on bandcamp first and then on all the usual platforms in the next few days. This album was important to me. It might be a bit different from the last albums. Sophie Brown and friends are also on it :-) I would like to thank Wolfgang Kropf, who recorded the bass and was a great help with the mixing. Have fun!

AIRBAG
ABOUT AIRBAG ...AIRBAG from official website Airbag BIO Airbag is hailed as one of the most important bands to emerge from the Norwegian progressive scene over the past decades. Their five critically acclaimed albums reveal a band that masterfully blends diverse musical styles and sounds, with a strong narrative listening experience. The band’s 6th album, The Century of the Self, will be released on Karisma Records summer 2024. Airbag was formed in the mid 2000s by five high school class mates, including Asle Tostrup (vocals) and Bjørn Riis (guitars). The band released their first EP, titled Come on In in 2004 and a string of self produced EPs was offered for free on their website receiving nearly a quarter of a million downloads within a few months. The networking paid off and Airbag signed with the now prestigious Norwegian prog label Karisma Records in August 2008. Airbag’s debut album, Identity (Karisma Records 2009) feature remixed songs from their previously released EPs. Identity received several album of the year awards, with the single, Colours, reaching top 3 on Polish national radio. Their second album, All Rights Removed (Karisma Records 2011) saw a change in the line-up and a more mature and confident band, with Henrik Bergan Fossum behind the drums. The album feature the epic seventeen minute long Homesick – a fan favourite showcasing the band’s ability to blend bombastic arrangements with ambient soundscapes. 2012 saw Airbag touring and opening for Marillion. Over the years, the band has shared the stage with several prominent names in prog, including Yes, Saga, Anathema, Pineapple Thief and Riverside. Airbag frequent some of the biggest venues in Europe and are three times returning guests at the annual Cruise to the Edge in the US. The band’s next albums, The Greatest Show on Earth (Karisma Records 2013) and Disconnected (Karisma Records 2016) reveals a darker side of the band, with lyrics dealing with society’s destructive forces and the individual’s struggle to fit in. The ever current topics are underlined by heavier guitars and dramatic arrangements. Both albums received much praise for impressive production and musicianship. Airbag’s 5th album, A Day at the Beach (Karisma Records 2020) was inspired by the resurgence of 1980s electronica, new wave and movie scores. Airbag created a powerful sound combining ethereal soundscapes with their signature guitar driven progressive rock. The result was a stunning selection of songs revealing a mature band looking forward, with an impressive legacy. Airbag will be out touring in 2024/25 supporting their upcoming release The Century of the Self.
