I've been busy with some personals, Steve (no one ever really retires Wink) , so I only had a chance to listen to the title track of "The Long Goodbye" on the new Galahad video. Stupendous, both musically and lyrically! Another autobuy for me. I will get back with more when I can catch a break. Cheers.

Don't do too much, that man! It is superb, a great album.

Okey dokey, we continue to get back into the swing of things here at www.lazland.org.

Tonight's update is a review of Gayle Ellett & The Electromags, with their recent release, Friends, a class instrumental album.

Simply head over to my homepage and click on the link! Plenty of excerpts from the album to enjoy, alongside some class guest appearances own music.

Well, after our little sojourn, we at Lazland are back in the saddle.

A bit of a gentle start to proceedings, with a new Video of the week, which is a stunning video of Heilung live.

The first new album review of the week is a very interesting release by American outfit, Advent Horizon entitled A Cell To Call Home. Some very strong material on this one.

More to follow in the next week as I start to catch up on a backlog.

How about a review of the new Marco Minnemann album, if possible?

It is on my wishlist to get, but no review copy provided, so this one will have to wait a wee bit.

It is incredible that this thread has now attracted almost 30,000 views since I started it last year. What's more, now followers on Facebook has exceeded 100. Thank you to all of you for your support. I genuinely appreciate it.

There are a few updates this evening. Video of the Week is by Cyan ahead of their November release, Pictures From The Other Side.

There are two album reviews. The second part of Planetary Overload by the wonderful United Progressive Fraternity. Then, a wonderful pastoral album by Brendan Perkins, Galatea's Holiday. Both of them are a joy and recommended.

I am going offline now for ten days. Mrs Laz & I are heading off for a well deserved break which will include a digital detox - no internet. For those of you who are burglars, my six foot six son is looking after the gaff. Don't mess with him - I wouldn't!

I will be back next week - loads more great new music to come.

Hi Steve, 

I appreciate the review on The Harmony Codex and the videos. I can honesty say that it's not my cup of tea, but Wilson does push himself, if nothing else. But I can see others enjoying it. Cheers.

The Emerald Dawn are pretty much un-tagable as far as i'm concerned; their sound is so diverse and constantly changing.. thats why i find them so intriguing and beguiling.. 

Sorry to jump in Steve, Keep up the good work!

They are a great band, Paul, but they are most certainly not “neo prog”. In fact, the band themselves regard the tag as faintly ridiculous, at best.
You make it sound as if  being labelled a Neo Prog band is a bad thing. Tongue

A triple dose of updates on www.lazland.org this evening.

There are two new album reviews. Firstly, alt rock outfit Head With Wings and their new one, Without Intervention.

Second, the new Steven Wilson album, The Harmony Codex is given a few words. I really like it.

Lastly, Video of the Week is a nice one of Nick Barrett performing Water from Love Over Fear during lockdown.

All links on the homepage.

Thomas and Jeremie have really pushed the boat out on both the music and the videos, and they really are well worth checking out.

Talking about videos, I finished my draft review of the new Steven Wilson album last night. There is a bit of editing to do before publication next week, but I must say that the videos he has released to accompany the music are visually stunning and definitely worth viewing.
Thumbs Up  I'm looking forward to it. There's been a lot diverging takes on that album and I'm interested in your views.
