Nemo is amazing. I haven't heard Barbares yet, but I will soon I hope.

Today I also received the new album of If (www.ifsounds.com) - maybe we'll see them on PA one day...
And The Tea Club is on it's way by mail, they just got included and asked me for a review. Which reminds me that I promised Dirk to try and contact Sonar once again about album distribution. I'll mail them right away.

You are right, Erik.  Nemo may be getting a little bit too well known for this thread.  That's the point of the thread, right?  You did good.Big smile
Biggles was in rehab last Saturday

        Norbert, Nemo their website is almost as sensational as their music, just take a look Thumbs Up :
 
                                                 http://www.nemo-world.com/
 
I just noticed that I wrote the biography about Nemo on PA, now I remember what a huge fan I became when I listened to Nemo for the first time, that was the album Presages (2003), very soon the next album Prelude A La Ruine was released, still my favorite Nemo album and also one of the first reviews I wrote for Progwalhalla, in those days the best selling Progwalhalla item. During their Progfarm 2008 gig I made Sony camcorder recordings (at about 30 minutes) that I have put on DVD, a compilation will be published on the Progfarm website one of these months Thumbs Up
 
By the way, can we still consider Nemo as a lesser known/unknown new progrock band or ...?

I really look forward to hear something by the French band Nemo.
When I typed in their name on YouTube a few minustes ago, it gave only Nightwish, and the cartoon movie for a page long. LOL

                                 Dirk, I am curious or you know Nemo played new songs
                              (from the Barbares album) during their Progfarm 2008 gig?
 
Thursday I will meet Progwalhalla Hans and he will borrow me a bunch of new progrock CD's, including the new Nemo, I can't wait to listen to that album, I still get goose bumps when I remember that awesome Progfarm 2008 gig Clap

I have  the new limited Nemo  cd edition. Agree with John and Avestin. Very favorable first,second,third and fourth  impression, not that i had expected otherwise from this band. I also had the feeling that this album is a bit more accessible than the si partie albums that both took me some time to appreciate. Haven't got around to the live dvd as of yet, really looking forward to that experience.They did it again, congrats Thumbs Up.

3 listens of the album and so far I love it. Adding a somewhat new flavour to their music, they keep up their complex and heavy prog melange and spice it up with their melodies and lyrics.
Still need to give the live album more listens but so far it sounds quite close to the studio versions and well performed.

John, that's good news about the new Nemo because I have seen Nemo a few months ago on the Dutch Progfarm 2008 Festival but I cannot remember they were telling the audience about playing material from the new album Barbares, I remember great songs from Si Partie II and I was blown away by natural born performer JPL Thumbs Up
 
Thursday Progwalhalla Hans will deliver me the new Nemo, I hope I can share your excitement John!

                           Thanks Paul, Aly is very interesting eclectic prog metal (just like Taifa as
                       I mentioned in an earlier post) and I am glad you like it. Unitopia is new for me Embarrassed ..haha!
 
I have a holiday (at home) between December 20th and January 4th so plenty of time to listen to that bunch of Progwalhalla CD's and DVD's. About Progwalhalla: we receive more and more posts from new lesser known and unknown bands from all over the world, they point at their MySpace websites/samples or even send promo CD's, incredible, we are very proud to have build up a progrock (mail-order) site in which those bands believe Clap

Looks like you've got plenty to keep yourself occupied with over the next week. I'll be interested in what you have to say about Unitopia in particular.

Hello fellow Dutchman Dirk, good to read your euphoric words about the Albatros sound, yesterday evening I listened to their album Pentadelia and was blown away by the wah-wah guitar in some songs, very spectacular, I am a huge fan of that guitar pedal sound Approve
 
I am not intending to visit the Lazuli/Riverside concert because of my work.
 
 
                                              New exciting eclectic prog metal:
 
                   Taifa (Spain) and Aly (Mexico), see my reviews: http://www.progressiveland.net/

I agree fully with the assessment of the Albatros album, i could write a long convoluted post why i think the album is so spectecular. Played it over 15 times already in a very short time. Suffice to say that i agree with Erik it's the best album i've heard this year together with Hypnos 69's Eclectic measure that i found stunning too. Antennas got the album too btw and she's very enthousiastic about it as well.

^Erik, i'll try but not sure since i'll have day off tomorrow already. Reason is the Lazuli/Riverside concert tonight in Paradiso. Are you there btw?

OK Paul and thanks for posting Thumbs Up
 
Well John, recently I have seen Nemo during the Progfarm Festival 2008, they blew away the crowd, what a gig and I am very glad that I have made Sony camcorder recordings (at about half an hour Nemo) and put it on DVD, the Progfarm website will publish a trailer with my Progfarm Festival 2008 footage, also including Skys (Lithunia) and 5Bridges and Flamborough Head (Holland).
Nemo their singer/guitarplayer JPL is a natural born performer and musician, about his solo CD Retrospections Vol I: yesterday I played it, what a powerful and varied sound, hopefully your opinion will switch 180 degrees by hearing more resonance Wink

My Top ten is loaded with very interesting new progrock bands (Albatros is at least a weekly joy ), it was a very good year and I am looking forward to your 'check out', John Approve

I read your Simon Says review about the Tardigrade album, good work and I can live with the 4 stars rating ... haha!
 
Fellow progheads, this week I will post a list with more lesser known and unknown new progrock bands that' Progwalhalla Hans' will borrow me in order to write reviews for his site, I am looking forward to write about the new Astralis and Nemo.
 
Dick, will you join us next week in Amsterdam (Thursday) at The Old Bell (Irish beer and sateh)?
