My New Blog

The first is a fine Irish folk album by Notify trio Breen, Rynne, and Murray with their Odyssey.

Second, we have a duo of albums from notable French elecronic music pioneer, Richard Pinhas, one solo, the other his group Haven. 

Both well worthy of your attention - pop along as ever, and click on the homepage buttons!

Thanks Tennyson!

Land of the Orange Menace?? Surely, you mean Land of the Carmilla, erm, Kamalla, Erm, 'er indoors!!

There really is some exceptional music out there, and America has been well represented recently!

Next week, a review of the forthcoming Nick Magnus album to tickle your fancies, and I am hoping to finalise details of a new radio show.

From America, we have Manic Xpression, and from England we have Northern Faith, this the new project from Tim Hunter, someone many in the prog community will be familiar with.

As ever, take yourselves to my homepage, and enjoy!

First up is New Zealand originating artist, Look to Windward and a compelling album The Last Scattering Surface.

Second, a fascinating study of war and the human condition from French artist Gabriel Keller and Hope Despite Everything.

Both are well worth your attention, so simply take yourselves off to www.lazland.org and click away!

In other news, EMI have refused me permission to post a new video on YouTube discussing The Wall as part of my "Old Album, New Thoughts" series. I had hoped to avoid getting a license from the Performing Rights authority, as the cost in addition to what I pay for the website is pretty prohibitive for what is a non-income making enterprise. However, I do understand that The Floyd are a struggling young band in dire need of their royalties, and there is therefore no bad feeling on my part. I will be exploring doing this series via a podcast, likely in partnership again with Progzilla Radio. I will keep you posted.

However, some exciting news will be announced shortly after my return. I have accepted an extremely kind offer from Progzilla Radio to host my own radio show, which I am so delighted with. Details to be thrashed out when I return from Malta, and I will announce it here when done 'n dusted.

In the meantime, I am so grateful to all of you for your extraordinary support for my little music venture. It is greatly appreciated!

We have a new album review, Sloane Square Band and Thoughts, a cracker.

We have the latest Ruminations video for you at https://www.youtube.com/@stevelazenby6484/videos 

As if that is not enough, we also have a brand new podcast series produced in association with Progzilla Radio, entitled "A Marillion Life" which examines my life seen through the lens of my favourite band. Part one has been published, and you can listen to this at https://progzilla.com/a-marillion-life/ or via the link on my homepage, where you can also download it.

Enjoy!
