I neglected to mention, despite it being mentioned to be via PM by a member to me before, that Stereolab will be releasing a new album on May 23, 2025. It is called Instant Holograms on Metal Film. I just logged into youtube and something from it was the top recommendation for me. And I see that Stereolab is coming to Vancouver again for concert in October. Plan to snag tickets quite soon as Stereolab does sell out.



It's one of my favourite bands.

EDIT: good thing I managed to snack tickets this early. Tier one already was sold out and had to pay for the rather more expensive tier two. It ever annoys me how much all the extra charges here very significantly put up the ticket prices...

^ Yes I am aware and puchased the MP3 directly from their website (you can also get the CD from there). You can also buy a High Res download off Bandcamp but it seemed a bit expensive which is why I went for the lower quality and cheaper download option. It's an okay album but at this point they are no longer a proper band, basically it's Steve Babb plus a bunch of other guys. I would actually warn people off it who are expecting the heavier sound of the last 4 albums. It's lighter and very melodic and similar to the Three Cheers For The Broken Hearted album which I love but is generally considered a low note in their back catalogue.

Seawater. It's a very good album too.

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the Cosmic Cathedral (Neal Morse, Phil Keaggy, Chester Thompson and Byron House) album a week today.

My most anticipated at this time (May releases) are:

North Sea Radio Orchestra - Special Powers (May 30, 2025)
Swans - Birthing (May 30, 2025)
Jenny Hval - Iris Silver Mist (May 2, 2025, not in PA)

A Swans and North Sea Radio Orchestra release scheduled for May 30, 2025 -- sweet.

Thanks so much for the mention! Very proud of the upcoming album, hope you're not disappointed. :)

As for me, I'm most looking forward to “The Deep End” by Pain of Salvation. Date TBA but seems like there's good progress recently! And outside of prog, looking forward to a new one from Deftones.

Krokofant - 6 . Relased yesterday, this Norwegian jazz rock outfit is a bit like Elephant 9 but less keyboard more guitar. Loving what I'm hearing at the moment.

^ I'm beginning to get interested in them so will certainly give it a listen or three (and I liked the last one). In general I'm expecting a slow year. I think the boom times have happened. Generally the world is plunging into recession and becoming more unstable and that's never good for music. Vinyl pressing plants (at least those in the UK) are closing down and CD's are now produced more to order (there is some evidence for this). I'm not optimistic about anything much obviously!

^We'll definitely get one very soon. Apparently the sessions for the last album produced 10 MORE tracks, with these one being backed by an orchestra. A single from that album was already released in October. So it's probably almost, if not completely, finished with post-production by now.

I don't usually follow bands from outside my country.
So, I only know, besides some that had already been mentioned, about:
- Maestrick.
- Psychotic Apes.
- probably Tempus Fugit.
- and maybe Quarto Sensorial.
I'm hoping Maestrick and Quarto Sensorial could soon release more material, which they are in fact producing. Dogma is trying to compose and rehearsal for a new album, but if it really sees the light of day, it's unlikely to occur at 2025.
Ary.

Obiymy Doschu (Ukraine).   Their 2017 album, "Son" is fourth in the 2017 rankings. I'm hoping for a Masterpiece from this band.Wink

The most anticipated album for me personally is The Gift - "Seven Seasons" featuring a handful of very special guests (Genesis alumni, two members of England, former Karnataka singer and Peter Jones).
