Re: 2024 Work in Progress..ive
FOUETTE
ABOUT FOUETTE ...FOUETTE from PROGSKY WEB - CARLOS VAZ FOUETTE is a new-generation Progressive Rock band hailing from Kempele, Finland. FOUETTE is a duo project, and its present line-up consists of Kimmo Blom - vocals and Timo Vuoppola - all the instruments. In January 2024 they released their debut album, entitled “Subliminal Messages”. The unique sound of FOUETTE is delightfully emotional, moving, and symphonic, passing on to the listener a sensation of finitude before the vastness of our surrounding world. But far from being minimalist, FOUETTE’s music is rich in melodies, textures, and harmonies, which are carefully and cerebrally arranged by the musicians to form a complex multilayered structure that, to be assimilated, must be continuously explored and experienced by the listener. The instrumentation features amazing guitars, mild-mannered bass and drums, and a dreamy arrangement with a modern classic style, all being supported by keyboards and immersed in an intriguing musical ambiance. The electric guitar is the main solo instrument, soaring over the songs on sensitive solos. Vocals are a strong point of FOUETTE, melodic, and especially fit exactly with the music, the voice of Kimmo Blom is perfectly harmonized on the arrangements, in sequence with the instrumental parts. As a matter of comparison, FOUETTE’s sonority is like a mix of the music of the Prog seventies with the modern Progressive Rock. But you must listen to their debut album, you can bet your life, you will like it a lot. All music, lyrics, photography, production, artwork, and engineering by Timo Vuoppola. Highly recommended.

CIRCULINE
ABOUT CIRCULINE ...CIRCULINE from Official Website “The vocal arrangements give Circuline’s sound an extra dimension…..an appealing combination of vocal melodies, that have a contemporary, mainstream rock vibe, and retro-prog instrumental sections.” The modern cinematic progressive rock band Circuline features two theatrical lead vocalists, a keyboard player from Juilliard, a jazz-rock genius on guitar, a rocking bass player from another galaxy, and a drummer with progressive rock in his DNA. One review of their 2016 release, COUNTERPOINT, raves that “Circuline has arrived, time for Progland to embrace them wholeheartedly…easily one of the very best US bands in recent memory”, while PROG magazine describes it as “healthy doses of Yes, Rush, and Gentle Giant, but there are also creeping, [Steven] Wilson-esque atmospherics, cinematic soundscapes and modern tonal beef…powerful harmony vocal arrangements…an intriguing, impactful record that spans the classic and modern prog worlds.” Their debut release from 2015, RETURN, has been called “breathtaking and imaginative, at times bombastic and grandiose, occasionally diving into more obscure sounds that will seem dark and ominous, always propelled by first rate vocal dynamics…a hugely entertaining debut from a band that certainly has set its sights on becoming a prog staple.” Nominated for PROG Magazine’s 2016 Limelight award for best new band, Circuline recently performed at the 13th International Rites of Spring festival (RoSfest) in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania alongside headliners Spock’s Beard and Zebra. Additional 2016 gigs include the New Jersey ProgHouse, Philadelphia’s Liberty Music Fest, and Chicago’s Progtoberfest. Circuline has previously opened for 20-year prog veterans Glass Hammer (east coast U.S. tour), and has repeatedly co-headlined the traveling Sonic Voyage Fest. The band members are: Andrew Colyer (keyboards, vocals), Darin Brannon (drums, percussion), Beledo (guitars), Joel Simches (bass), and lead vocalists Billy Spillane and Natalie Brown.

Re: 2024 Work in Progress..ive
THE PINEAPPLE THIEF
ABOUT THE PINEAPPLE THIEF ...THE PINEAPPLE THIEF from Official Website The Pineapple Thief revel in opposing forces. Muscle and fragility. Chaos and precision. Distorted introspection and warm, dreamlike expanse. Conceived in 1999 by Bruce Soord, the progressive quartet underwent a rebirth in 2017 with the arrival of Gavin Harrison (King Crimson, Porcupine Tree) on drums. Completed by bassist Jon Sykes and keyboardist Steve Kitch, they’ve honed a lean yet lush, quietly timeless sound that soars on It Leads To This. The Pineapple Thief had the following to say regarding the new single: “We worked on these new songs for nearly 3 years. It was the most intense time I can remember within The Pineapple Thief. Personally I was being pushed well beyond my known limits, which is great from an artistic perspective but also very very challenging from a personal perspective. Bruce continues: Conceptually ‘It Leads To This’ continues my desire to observe and (try to) make sense of life and the world around me. It’s all there in the lyrics. The initial concept for the songs came together very quickly but the final lyrical and musical elements took a huge amount of work to piece together between the four of us, at least to a point where we were all satisfied. After so long in the business, being ‘satisfied’ is constantly being pushed further, constantly redefined. That’s the thing, we just kept pushing…” To coincide with their formidable return, the band reveal a beautifully shot, compelling video for the first chapter of ‘It Leads To This’ in the form of ‘The Frost’. The video for the new single shot by Jeremy George brings the vibrant landscape of Iceland to life in the post-apocalyptic world pictured on the cover. It all feeds into It Leads To This. Comprising eight fat-free epics – all about five minutes long, mixing rock urgency with delicate atmospherics, pensive keys and captivating melodies – it finds Soord looking back and fearing for the world his children will inherit. His lyrics also drew from literature: accounts of Ancient Rome, John Williams’ classic Stoner and epistolary Augustus. All conveyed through Soord’s fragile yet penetrative tenor, nodding to storytellers like Nick Drake, Thom Yorke and Katatonia’s Jonas Renkse. In a way, that’s The Pineapple Thief all over. Idiosyncratic but relatable. Devastating and life-affirming, in the same breath. Not married to a single genre, just melody served by tones and textures. Music that only the four of them could make.

Re: 2024 Work in Progress..ive
THE SAMURAI OF PROG
ABOUT THE SAMURAI OF PROG ...THE SAMURAI OF PROG from Progarchives.com The Samurai Of Prog biography Multinational ensemble THE SAMURAI OF PROG (or TSoP, for short) was formed in 2009 by Finland-based Italian bassist Marco Bernard. (The band name originates from Marco's nickname.) Marco Bernard has been active in the Finnish Association for Progressive Music since 1995, and have been involved in their Colossus Magazine since 1996 - and instrumental in the Colossus series of theme albums they have created in cooperation with French label Musea Records. Originally conceived as a one-off album covering some of Marco's favorite songs, the project quickly outgrew its original charter, as several of the musicians formed long-lasting associations and a proper band emerged. Finnish drummer and mix engineer Kimmo Pörsti, and USA-based multi-instrumentalist/singer Steve Unruh joined Marco to become a core trio that would last over a dozen years and produce over a dozen albums. For each album, Marco, Kimmo, and Steve were joined by an ever-rotating cast of high-caliber keyboardists, guitarists, and guest singers. But moreover, a defining characteristic of TSoP is their use of guest composers. This unusual methodology has enabled TSoP to create albums of high quality at a frenetic pace, recently releasing, on average, two full-length original albums per year! These albums manage to sound cohesive despite a plethora of composers and musicians, because certain elements (including Kimmo's drumming and mixing style) remain consistent throughout. Marco (who organizes and manages the TSoP projects) and Kimmo (who operates the record label Seacrest Oy, which distributes them) have long held the belief that an album is more than the music; it's an experience which includes poring over the elaborate packaging and booklets which accompany TSoP CDs. These typically feature Ed Unitsky's fantastical artwork. The band has been reluctant to offer their music on streaming and download services, leading to their CDs becoming collector items which tend to sell out quickly after their release date. In recent years, due to Steve's hectic schedule (he's a member of RESISTOR as well as UNITOPIA - thanks to a friendship with Mark Trueack stemming from their work together on an early TSoP album), he's had to scale back from full-time TSoP member to periodic guest artist. Steve's last full-time member album was 2023's "The Man in the Iron Mask", composed by Oliviero Lacagnina (of Latte e Miele fame). Steve lists this as one of his proudest achievements. As of this writing in 2024, TSoP's trajectory is full-speed-ahead with Marco and Kimmo at the helm, plus ever-increasing involvement from long-time collaborators (such as Marco Grieco and Rafael Pacha). What began as Marco's little pastime project has grown into one of this genre's most active and vibrant musical outfits. ========== Bio provided by Marco Bernard, January 2024 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!
