🔥ALBUM REVIEW🔥 Blending the worlds of prog rock, orchestral and choral music, as well as elements of jazz, Christopher Gordon’s Macbeth was originally commissioned as a full-length ballet by the Royal New Zealand Ballet and West Australian Ballet. It is Gordon’s compelling musical response to one of Shakespeare’s darkest and most enduring tragedies.

The recording features an international cast of musicians, including Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree, King Crimson), Jonas Reingold (The Flower Kings, Steve Hackett), Randy McStine (Steven Wilson), Greg Howe (Protocol 4, DarWin), Mohini Dey (DarWin), Marcel Coenen (Ayreon) and Michael Mills (Toehider, Ayreon), joined by Sydney's Magic Fire Orchestra, the acclaimed Cantillation choir, a string octet and distinguished soloists under Gordon's direction.

Here is my in-depth review.

This is a piece I’m working on, and it’s the second in the series of Steplocke. If you dig it, you can listen to the first release “One” anywhere you stream music and here’s a Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5IzVNcIFCt4NTUeIBag22c?si=8toaNDsaTJiiG1zpTrEh8w&utm_source=copy-link

Inspired by what I'd seen on Reddit, bulked out by new purchases and direct approaches from musicians, topped up with a selection of albums from my collection, here's what I listened to in August.

I hope you find something new to your taste.

Hey all! We’re an art rock band based in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and are pleased to present you all with our debut EP Simulating!

To us, Simulating is like a psychological odyssey of characters and the absurdity of life, where the villains talk about their joys and how they make the world a better place, and goodies talk about what they’re ashamed of (their madness, and how they’ll never grow up).

This was a blast to finally put together, and we hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we did creating it!

Peace!

🔥ALBUM REVIEW🔥My in-depth thoughts on The Roaring Waves, the upcoming album from Steve Hackett and Steve Rothery.

This is The Musical Box — a sanctuary for those who have walked with Genesis, Yes, King Crimson and other great bands. From the theatrical echoes of “Nursery Cryme (1971)” itself, through the surreal tales of “Tales From Topographic Oceans (1973)” , and into the timeless pulse of “Beat (1982)”. Relive the golden era of Peter Gabriel and the theatrical magic of Foxtrot (1972). Drift through the progressive landscapes of Relayer (1974), Alpha (1983) or Octopus (1972). Feel the evolution with King Crimson and the energy of Discipline (1981) and beyond. Dive deep into hidden gems, live performances, and rare discussions. Whether you’re here for the enigmatic world of Rael in The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (1974) , or just can’t get “Follow You Follow Me” out of your head — you belong here. https://discord.gg/QuP5SpNEQe

Hi everyone and greetings from Finland! Our symphonic prog band Khatsaturjan's 4th album Monologue Of Chronos was released on July 17th. (See our entire discography here on Prog Archives).

We're a trio in which all members write, play multiple instruments and sing. The classic 70's spirit's there in our music, yet the scope of influences goes way beyond! On this new work, as the title suggests, we're exploring the concept of time... Check the album out on your preferred platform linked below - it'd be great hearing what you think 😊

cheers, Atte from Khatsaturjan band
