for those who prefers music with a strong melodic component and like some METAL in their PROG, Russian band EXTROVERT has prepared a surprise: their debut full-length album "Making the Ocean Awake" has been re-recorded with a new vocalist and new ENGLISH lyrics (check some free songs on their web-site)!!! Soon to be released (hope so).

Also promised soundtrack to a "Silver Thread" ballet due to be released this Autumn. Gonna wait!

Yes, DISENs are all about making structures and textures rather then memorable catchy pieces...but this is what it's all about

Here, on their official web-site, you can get the FULL album available for FREE LEGAL DOWNLOAD! I like such people!!!

THE MORNINGSIDE debut album "The Wind, The Trees and The Shadows of the Past" was released by a Russian DOOM-metal label, but don't be fooled by this. The band sound like OPETH on acid with THE CURE-like guitarwork, so don't hesitate to check them out!!! Highly recommended!



Hideous vocals.

I concur! Smile
And check the band I added recently which is LUMINOUS FLESH GIANTS. You can find their album free to download here.

I listened to Disen Gage tonight while I was driving home and must say that I find it to be highly repetitive and short on melody -- mostly textural space kraut rock. It lacks form and substance.

Always good to find some more music!

I've uploaded a couple more concert excerpts the "Audio Diplomacy" album by Fromuz, so now you can see some bits and pieces from the concert DVD.

Thanks a lot!

I've prepared new promotions for our respected Psych Team. Here we go -


VESPERO

(R024) – Vespero “Rito” (2007) / CD: 8 tracks - 66 min.

1. Inverno
2. Triptych: to the falling Sun
3. Rito
4. Inna’s burst in Tears
5. Crabs ashore
6. Skat
7. Silence breath echo
8. Ambience in Blue/ Altarage to the Thunder


VESPERO got together as a quartet (Arkady Fedotov – vocals, bass, flute, synths; Valentin Rulev – violin, synths; Ivan Fedotov – drums, percussion; Alexander Kuzovlev – guitar, bass, synths) in Astrakhan (south of Russia) 2003 on the common interest in playing psychedelic music. Later Natalya Tjurina (vocals) joined, and the band moved into more progressive rock-related areas. As their Moscow fellows KAFTAN SMEKHA, VESPERO are deeply influenced by avant theatre and experimental poetry. Since the very first demos their sound has been influenced by GONG, early FLOYD, FAUST and related bands from that era. Highly recommended for all (and beyond!) fans



and a little bit more loose and improvisational...

GDEVA

R025) – Gdeva “Bubbles, Bubbles...” (2007) / CD: 5 tracks - 60 min.

1. Mechanism – 32
2. Impr. In Studio
3. Autobahn
4. Winter Song
5. Zakolduj (Put a Spell)


GDEVA’s debut album “Bubbles, Bubbles…” was recorded in two days in 2005 without any overdubs or prepared compositions. Beginning from here you should be aware of what kind of music they’re playing. All from St. Petersburg, Andrei Petrov (guitars), Alexander Kravtsov (drums) and Valery Berestov (bass) were always interested in improvised music, so there’s no wonder that once they’ve got together and decided to make something in that vein. Without transforming into purely noise/experimental band, trio showed impressing level of maturity since the first jams on rehearslas. You can make sure in it checking their stuff on their RealMusic page.


Enjoy!!!
