Morow.com; Progressive Rock Radio. Let's hear if I'll discover new exciting music .

[Teunis]

jp: John Wetton - Battle Lines
np: Opeth - Pale Communion

[Teunis]

jp: Crystal Palace - Dawn Of Eternity (Nice neo prog from Germany.)
np: Lion Shepherd - Hiraeth (Polish band, saw them as a support for Riverside last year. Didn't impress me then, let's have a listen ...)

[PH]

Arena - "The Cry"
Gavin Harrison - "Cheating The Polygraph"

[Steve Jones]

jp: Sieges Even - Steps
np: Sieges Even - Sophisticated

[Teunis]

jp: Frost* - Falling Satellites
np: Evership - s/t

The latter one was recommended on an other forum with the words: 'recommended for the ones who love Queen, Muse and/or progressive rock'. Well, had to listen of course. Almost finished, not bad at all. Don't hear the connection with those bands immediately, but it will certainly be played again .

[Teunis]

jp: Big Big Train - Folklore
np: Fractal Mind - Stainless

Both on Progstreaming.nl.

[Teunis]

jp: The Pineapple Thief - Magnolia
np: Godsticks - Emergence

Monuments - The Amanuensis (album)

sceptical, growls incoming

[PH]

Genesis - "We Can't Dance"

It's been such a long time since I last played this album. I still think it's a good one!
At this very moment Dreaming While You Sleep plays, and I like that song very much. Such a sad sad song.

[Teunis]

sceptical, growls incoming

We seem to have something in common .

Genesis - "We Can't Dance"

Good call. I am also one (of the few) who like this album!

jp: The Pineapple Thief - Your Wilderness (Played it two times in a row, it's excellent! )
np: The Neal Morse Band - Alive Again (2cd/DVD version. Now playing first cd, awesome stuff! )

Next up:

Monuments - The Amanuensis (album)

sceptical, growls incoming

Cap's really askin for mutiny here

Hey, man, that's one'o my fave albums, just gotit last week, I'm rotating it with FF and Architects these days

Listen to the stellar music, Cap, ignore the growls if they bugya

We live in times where the best music is interspersed with growl, shout, grunt, all sorts of stuff. The real prog dudes these days use all forms of expression at hand, depending on what they wanna communicate.

How did you run into this album, Cap, not your standard fare

Genesis - "We Can't Dance"

I can't listen to this stuff anymore. Gimme some real McGenesis up to Abacab. Man, those guys sold out for good, after Pete and Steve left, can't think of any other group that sold out like that


NP  Whatever they conjure up at the Malmö Festival Rock Café. Not too promising, but hopefully good enuff for a (expensive, this is Sweden, man) beer or two

[Teunis]

today: The Pineapple Thief - Your Wilderness (Three times today, it really is )
np: Evership - s/t (American prog metal band. Debut album, like it.)

Sorry, can't ignore. Using a voice along with music for me is still either talking or "singing", in the traditional way of it. Can't help it, other sounds to me always sound more or less daemonic, like puking or whatever bad thing comes to my mind, and it ruins the whole experience. I tried, seriously, but I can't. A good voice is of vital importance for me.

Music-wise it's great, though...

How did you get across this album, Cap, not your standard fare

Erm, I must confess it was on the suggestion list when I watched Snowy Shaw - Alcoholocaust on jutupp.

[Nicky007]

Whew, relieved, I wouldn't have liked to mutiny you

Puking thru a whole album is quite a feat

Seriously, I can follow you. More aesthetically oriented people will prefer melody and clean singing. I'm more dramatically oriented, I like music with a lotta ups and downs and surprises, and I'll adapt to stuff that initially is grating.

Music-wise it's great, though...

Ainit

Jutupp I get, but what's the rest ? Dya have to drink schschnapps and eat sauerkraut to it ?


NP  Periphery III: Select Difficulty

My new discovery. Their latest, from 2016. Tremendous album, masses of exciting - and melodic - things goin in and out all the time, a guaranteed multirepeat

If I remember correctly, there isn't much growl, so you could try it, Cap, but I don't know how you are with very busy music

I got to know about Periphery some five years ago when they toured with (the real) DT in Europe. Because the planned concert hall burned down, both groups were transferred to a rather small sports hall with concrete walls. Particularly Periphery with their very busy music suffered from that and my impression of their music wasn't that good. But fortunately I decided to give'm another run at home, and they quicky became pantheon with me

OK, it doesn't get any hotter. If you play this piece while having sex, you'll get quintuplets (at least):

Periphery:  Marigold   www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmtU2WJfPgU


And now a bonus track. It's slower, but has a real hefty rhythm: Rhys Fulber's remix of the classic Edgecrusher:

Fear Factory:  Edgecrusher   www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbwV-xjpy5E

Press:  7. Edgecrusher (Urban Assault Mix) 19:54

[Teunis]

Dream The Electric Sleep - Beneath The Dark Wide Sky

[PH]

Yesterday I listened to Tomas Bodin's "I AM". Really like that album. And I finally have it in my collection since yesterday. Bought it for 10 euros. I know that he released the follow up "You Are" under the name 'Eggs & Dogs' in 2009, I think. Does anyone know if another sequel is in the making? And is "You Are" any good?
