Erik, grab Phideaux's The Great Leap as well, Phideaux has started with that album a trilogy of concept music, out of which this new Doomsday Afternoon is the second volume. Wink

The first should sound modern easy (between alternative and prog rock),  while the second has heavier and more artistic stuff. Smile

This week I hope to review the CD Ether (I love the exciting track Bombers In The Desert) by the interesting new progressive electronic band Red Shift II, Ricochet, do you know that formation Wink ?

I added them, Erik, but don't know their music in detail.
I wanna get myself their albums, soon.

They're not a lesser known band though, quite popular for modern EM. LOL

Ricochet, in 2004 I have worked for the Dutch progressive electronic music magazine Edition, every magazine contained a free CD sampler so I discovered many new bands, I like Rogue Element, Radio Massacre International, FRee System Project (I have added this band to Prog Archives last year) and the duo Emmens & Heij, very retro sounding (74-77 TD), do you know these bands? By the way, I consider all these bands, including Red Shift, as lesser known bands because on Prog Archives there is still a lot to do for new prog electronic bands, like Red Shift, Navigator, Rudy Adrian and Peter Dekker. In the last years I have mentioned these bands in threads about electronic prog but I got no reactions at all so I am very glad with your efforts like adding Airsculpture and Red Shift Thumbs%20Up
 
                            Well, that was a fine progressive electronic chat Wink

I know RMI and Free System Project, the first one is not my style.
In rest, I think I can appreciate a bit of the more popular-oriented or classic-based modern electronic music, since qualities or deep textures can appear even between techno or pure artificial melodies. A bigger and progressive interest, however, should stay the great dark ambient artists of this modern time, the sound machine players or the retro EM classic composers. Those mixing, for sure, a bit of art and unnatural music with lesser known qualities. Smile

Yes, it sure was, Erik. Clap

Today I read about Prog-jester his request to add UK neo-prog band Also Eden to this site. Well, last year I wrote a Dutch review for Progwalhalla, I have just added the English translation to this thread. Recommended to neo-prog fans Thumbs%20Up

                            Hello fellow progheads.
 
I can't wait until it's Thursday, then I will meet Hans from Progwalhalla in The Old Bell (sateh and Killkenny's on draught Approve) with just another pile of interesting new lesser and unknown progrock bands including the new Little Tragedies, Omni, Ritual and Phideaux, a band called Neverness and the ex-Satellite/Collage member Sadkowski with his new project Peter Pan. I am also curious to the new Colossus project entitled Treasure Island featuring Nexus Thumbs%20Up
 
                     I hope to review these items very soon in this thread.

I look forward to your reviews of Little Tragedies, Omni and Colossus. I am excited about Peter Pan. A new band with Collage and Satellite members? I am ready! Embarrassed
 
I REALLY enjoy the new Black Bonzo CD. The new music is even more symphonic prog sounding. Very well written material. Even more Mellotron and heavy organ. Great songs. I think this album is more cohesive than the first one. Kudos to Black Bonzo!
Thumbs%20Up
Best of 2006 that I've heard:
PFM-Stati Di Immaginazione
Zenit-Surrender (Best "unknown" album)
Oaksenham - Conquest of Pacific
2007:
Phideaux - Doomsday Afternoon
La Torre Del Alchimista - Neo

                   Thanks for the Black Bonzo recommendation, Dalt99 ...
                              and for keeping this thread alive Wink !

It's remarkable how much attention there is on the Forum for Seventies prog at this moment, all those appreciation threads about Classic Prog bands. If you start one, within a few days you have at least 4 or 5 pages. I was thinking about creating a Vintage Keyboards Appreciation thread but I have decided to focus on this thread, it's so exciting to discover another interesting new lesser and unknown progrock bands. And thank you for the enthousiastic posts until sofar: 128 replies, 1866 views and 7 pages, great and a boost to my motivation Thumbs%20Up

                       From now on I will give every week a Midweek - and a 
                             Weekend Recommendation, to start with:
 
(Gavin) O’LOGHLEN & Cotters Bequest– Land Of The Vast Horizon (***1/5)
 
 
- This musical project from Down Under is led by actor, author, composer, director and multi-instrumentalist David O’Loghlen. He has a degree in drama and many years experience in music, music theatre and drama productions. At the age of 11 he started to play bagpipes and soon joined Highland competitions and even extended his musical skills by learning to play guitar, keyboards and flute. He returned to his musical roots with the creation of Cotter’s Bequest, a progressive Celtic ensemble that uses Highland, Uilleann, Northumbrian and Scottish small bagpipes amid layers of keyboards, guitars and vocals. The band, that contains six members playing no less than 23 instruments, has released three albums and is working on their fourth.
On this third album entitled Land Of The Vast Horizon we can enjoy 13 very pleasant and melodic progressive folk compositions that are loaded with the sound of a wide range of bagpipes, the high pitched tin-whistles, excellent female vocals (a bit similar to Sally Oldfield) and a tasteful variety: dreamy with sensitive piano and violin and mellow Hammond organ waves in The Peramangk - Time there was..., a delicate blend of bagpipes and accordion with in the end a subtle electric guitar solo in Port Augusta 1869 - The Teamsters, beautiful interplay between the sound of harpsichord, soaring keyboards, bagpipes, violin and wonderful female vocals in Gulnare 1872 - Death Of The Last Born, several languages (German, Latin and English) and omnipresent tin-whistles in Sevenhill 1873 - Johann Pallhüber SJ and the sound of the native Australian instruments the didgeridoo in Nantabra Hut 1895 - The Scottish Shepherds and Udenyaka (Death Rock), blended with bagpipes, accordion, acoustic rhythm guitar and tin-whistles, simply wonderful!
If you are up to the very distinctive sound of the bagpipe in a beautiful blend of folk and progressive rock (with hints from Mostly Autumn, Mike Oldfield and Peter Gabriel), this is a CD to discover. Also recommended: Gavin O’Loghlen with his solo album entitled The Poet And The Priest (www.locrian.com.au) featuring very warm and melodic symphonic prog with lots of vintage keyboards!

 
 
 
        Friday evening I will continue with my Weekend Recommendation Thumbs%20Up

I'd like to know more about Phideaux.... such an enigmatic band for me. I've listened to their last album last week and I'm afraid the thing I liked the most was indeed the cover Confused

Anyway I guess I should give it another listen.
The best you can is good enough...

Jimmy Row, thanks fellow vintage keyboard freak Clap and ... nice band in your avatar Wink !

Sircosick, I am also very curious to the new Phideaux. Yesterday I discovered that I have heard their previous album but I was not impressed at all. By the way, one of their albums is entitled Chupacabras, you must be familiar with that word in South-America LOL !

To Starfly (my answer to your PM): try KBB and Senogul, both make melodic, instrumental and quite compelling music (see my reviews) Thumbs%20Up
 
 
                           Here is my top 10 (at this moment) of my favorite lesser
                and unknown progrock albums of new bands, in no particular order:
 
- William Gray : Living Fossils
- Senogul : Senogul
- Nexus : Perpetuum Karma
- Supay : Confusion
- Little Tragedies : New Faust
- La Maschera Di Cera : Lux Ade
- Bauer : Astronauta Olvidado
- KBB : Live 2004
- Interpose+ : Interpose+

Phideaux is getting some popularity, Doomsday Afternoonis the most popular album of PA at this moment.
I am rather curious of the music of this band, and Black Bonzo may be good, too.

                      I have just returned from my trip to Amsterdam where I met
                Hans from Progwalhalla, he has borrowed me the following CD's:
 
- Days by Peter Pan (Polish five piece band featuring Collaga/Satellite drummer Wojtek
  Szadowski)
- the Colossus project Treasure Island :
 
1 - Gentlemen Of Fortune (25'39) by Velvet Desperados
     (Finland)
2 - The Shore And The Breathing Night (24'40) by Floating
      State (Italy)
3 - La Aventura En El Mar - The Sea Adventure (23'22) by
     Nexus (Argentina)

Reputedly keen on all that's related to myths and legends, the Colossus magazine has chosen its next target: Robert Louis STEVENSON's famous novel "Treasure Island". Still helped by the Musea label, Marco BERNARD and his crew involved three groups in this project, VELVET DESPERADOS (Finland), FLOATING STATE (Italy) and NEXUS (Argentina). Each band composed a 25 minutes suite with the same musical plot, but faithful to its own musical identity. As for the previous projects, Seventies sounds and instruments were favoured. These three epic-suites are brilliant and very diverse, with influences ranging from GENESIS to BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO, VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR (Especially for FLOATING STATE), CAMEL (Listening to NEXUS), EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI... There are a lot of contrasted atmospheres, from solemnity to contemplation, with more powerful sequences. The booklet includes summary, lyrics, photographs, pictures, as usual... A true delight for all symphonic rock lovers !
 
- Chinese Songs by Russian band Little Tragedies
 
And there is more Little Tragedies news:
Good news! Little Tragedies will join the new Musea & Colossus project "Inferno" based on the first part of Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy".

On the 3 CDs box-set, among the 34 progbands who are going to contribute their songs (max. 7 min. in length) illustrating one of the 34 Cantos, Little Tragedies will play Canto 3. It will be an interesting experience, and we hope that this great poetic work of Dante will find a musical setting it deserves!

Other new albums:
- Horizonte De Sucesos (2002) and Cuentos De Otoros Mundos Posibles (2007) by
  Spanish band Neverness
- Solo Fue Un Sueno by Spanish band Omni
- L'Homme Loup by French band Motis :             
 
 
                              I hope to review these CD's soon Thumbs%20Up

Well Atkingani, I just listened to Peter Pan, very exiting, especially the guitarist is mindlblowing, somewhere between Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore and Joe Satriani Clap
 
I also listened to new Spanish band Neverness their second album entitled Cuentos De Otros Mundos Posibles (2007), what a wonderful album, a solid four star rating, a review will follow soon!                                             
 
 
                                                My album of the week is:
 
SENOGUL — Senogul (****)
 

- One of the trademarks of the Spanish progressive rock is its originality: in the past from bands like Ibio, Carmen, Atila, Itoiz and the flamenco inspired Prog Andaluz bands like Triana, Cai, Mezquita and Azahar and in the present from bands like Bijou, Unoma, Kotobel and …. Senogul. I was very pleasantly surprised with their debut album entitled Transitos but I am really delighted about their eponymous second CD, what a wonderful and varied progrock!

This new CD contains 12 compositions including new versions of all five tracks from the debut album entitled Transitos. The music sounds on one hand very melodic and in general accessible and on the other hand varied and elaborate. The band has progressed on all levels: a better sound, very matured compositions, a more lush and varied keyboard sound, the guitar work is excellent and the interplay great. To get an impression: a classical sounding piano intro, soon blended with sensitive electric guitarplay and halfway a female choir, conga’s and dynamic drums in Dr. Gull I, a swinging piano, howling guitar and a jazzy guitar solo in the catchy Racionalidad, an intro with bagpipe, then varied, often swirling piano work and a wide range of instruments (from the fiery guitar and powerful saxophone to a strongly build-up Minimoog synthesizer with pitchbend) in the captivating La Verbena Hermetica, lots of variety and strong duo-guitarplay with an exciting blend of the guitar soli in La Maha Vishnuda, lots of brass and fiery guitar in the Alquin-like Agua, Fuego & Porexpan and dreamy featuring sensitive guitar and soaring keyboards in Travesia De Las Gaviotas. And in some tracks you can enjoy the sound of the flute traverse, variety rules! My highlights are the two compositions in which Senogul blends several styles and we can enjoy lots of shifting moods: first Tango Mango that sounds as a hybrid of tango, symphonic prog, avant-garde, classical and jazz delivering both synthesizer – and guitar soli as sparkling play on accordeon and harpsichord and second La Mulatta Electrica, loaded with tension and exciting musical ideas, from Al DiMeola-like symphonic jazzrock (fiery guitar and a propulsive rhythm-section) to Prog Andaluz (including palmas/handclapping and jaleos/cheerful shouts) with swinging piano and moving electric guitar runs, how captivating!

In my opinion Senogul has made a very pleasant, alternating and captivating album that showcases the huge talents of this band, highly recommended! 

                                                                Clap

If we look at the lineup of this album we may already guess, that this can't be bad.

The reviews on senogul are really promising.

Here's my small contribution to this thread (I am over-worked these days and have little time for anything else, especially PA, sorry for not contributing more, as I've discovered and keep discovering good progressive bands these days).
 
 
 
PLEASE READ MY MESSAGE AFTER THE SENOGUL REVIEW BELOW!
 
 
 
Here's the review for 2007 release by old timers:
Review by avestin (Assaf Vestin)
[Special Collaborator Zeuhl/RIO/Avant Team]
Posted 5:05:53 PM EST, 8/22/2007

4%20stars I am fairly new to this band, and I stumbled upon them for the first time through their Myspace page, where I heard several songs from their 2004 album Elden Av År and got hooked by the sound. I then proceeded to hunt down their earlier albums and managed to get hold of their first two albums which I am still getting to know, so I will not comment much on how similar or different than those, this current release is. I was contacted by Stefan Fredin (bass guitar, rhythm guitar, vocals) about adding this current title to their discography here in PA and he was kind enough to offer to send me this release as a promotional cd for review. I must say, I am glad he did so. If you don’t feel like reading on, let me tell you just this – I find this to be a solid, enjoyable and overall very good album.

This is rock that, even though it has that particular 70’s rock sound, sounds fresh and well produced. There is a very good flow to the album as most tracks are either a direct continuation of one another or connected in another way so that the music or sound never cease. The album has a clean sound, every instrument is clearly heard (For instance, follow the bass playing in the instrumental tracks). I like the sound of the Swedish language and the vocals (shared between Robert Zima and Stefan Fredin) are pleasant and suit the music (the booklet contains the lyrics in both Swedish and English); I love the lush and fabulous mellotron, and even though the guitar leads and solos are not terribly creative, they are well played, add groove and dynamic rhythm to the songs and overall fit the music. The melodies are beautiful and the songs well crafted, alternating between crunchy and frisky rock lead by the guitar and the atmospheric and more majestic sounding part lead by the mellotron. There is a musical motif in the album, a connecting thread throughout the album that is very distinct in several tracks (I Krigets Tid I, Ryttaren) and this serves as a good cohesive musical “glue” in this ongoing gush of sounds. This is best described as the sound of Trettioåriga Kriget.

I’d like to mention one track in particular; the title track “I Början Och Slutet” (“In The Beginning And The End”), is a superb song: moving (the mellotron adds much to the song) beautiful, powerful and engaging (in terms of sound, vocals and playing). The only thing wrong with it is that it’s too short… I feel there’s much more to explore in there, but I guess that Stefan Frdein felt he doesn’t like to dwell too long or experiment in one particular song and to move on to the next part and “investigate” other musical ideas. And indeed, the next track, the instrumental close up to the album, is another highlight in this most entertaining album. This is not to say those are the only two good songs in the album, not at all. But as I am not going to go over the individual tracks, I’ll only say that the various tracks are quite uniform in quality (I already said it’s a coherent release, didn’t I?).

To sum up: imagine good solid rock, not too complex but with enough variety (in instrumentation and musical ideas) to keep things interesting and captivating and with a good dose of lush mellotron; resulting in a beautiful and diverse sounding album. This album is best appreciated (as are many others) while listened to on headphones at high volume to get the full experience of this melodic journey. Give it your full attention, and the rewarding experience will be yours. I’ll be returning to this album for more listens!

4%20stars Variety. That is one keyword that describes Senogul’s new s/t album. There are other words, but I’ll let you read the review for you to discover them.

What is special about this album is that the use of the variety of styles and sounds is done in such a flowing natural way, as if we were never used to it being different than this, without sounding weird or out of place. It’s not that it is a multi-genre record, but there is a clever assimilation of styles in the tunes that Senogul plays, making it their own sound.

The music sounds to me as being “free, open, without barriers”, and not as a wall of sound or any other type of dense and thick sound. While not exactly a light-spirit album, it’s one that is characterized by an “airy”, fresh and “spacious” sound and mood. Senogul creates music that is tender and mellow alongside more dynamic and vibrant tunes. The diversity of the album is manifested in the styles played, tone and ambiance of the tracks (both within and between tracks), instrumentation and musical themes that are presented in each tune. What more, is that since the music is the way it is, I don’t feel “drained” at the end of the album, as I do with some other albums that can be an exhausting experience. With this album, I feel that I can listen to it again once I finish listening to it, despite it being quite long. The Senogul sound is highlighted by the keyboards (usually taking a piano sound), their particular guitar sound and their groovy rhythms. Though they are Spanish, there is no strong Spanish sound in their music except for several parts in the tracks that go that way. The guitar does take (though not all the time) a Spanish “accent” that I can also recognize from other Spanish bands.

Some of the tracks on this album are re-recorded versions of the tracks from their 2006 release Transitos and they added several other tracks to create a long and satisfying album with 12 tracks.

I will not do a track by track but I’ll point out some of the main aspects of the different tunes here and mention what I liked about them (or not) and what I found impressive or noticeable. The first two tracks in the album are connected making them sort of a one piece. In the first track is also a nice feature the band added in the form of the angelic sounding Coro Melsos (Melsos Choir). The choir comes in late in the first track and they link between both tracks. This choir should have been used more throughout the album. In the second track comes the more dynamic form of Senogul, in contrast with the dreamy, ethereal aspect of the opening track. What I like about the band in particular is the use of various instruments to create that lively atmosphere, a free spirit feel. But even when they use a “basic” rock instrumental lineup, they manage to create a delicate form of power in their music that doesn’t sound forceful. With Tango Mango, Senogul present their version of an epic track. At over 12 minutes, there is much going on here in terms of musical ideas, different moods, tempo’s, styles and instruments. This is to me the highlight of the album (there are others, rest assured). Opening with a delicate “open sound” guided by guitar and accordion, the music goes on to a more “closed sound” that the keyboards create. There is shifting from a propelling rhythm to laid back parts and then back to a different type of energetic component. There is some tango here, some rock (and some good old symphonic rock bits), some innuendos of Spanish music, and them some… There are several musical themes that the band plays and goes from and back to, all mingling naturally. Even when the band seems to be going over the top (around ~9:10) they still contain themselves, never loosing control and self discipline. La Verbena Hermetica goes on to a Spanish flavoured tune, very groovy and bouncy and along the way “visits” other parts of the Senogul musical map, such as some jazz-rock territory. Microcosmos Blues is slightly more aggressive due to the heavier guitar distortion used (occasionally, not throughout the track) and although the name suggests it, it’s not a blues song (although some elements of it can be found) yet the ending of the track is a classic blues ending. Track 7, Gotas De Cristal En Tu Vaso De Iluvia starts mellow with the guitar and flute and they are joined in for a mid-track peak by the rest of the band. From then the music is more structured with the drums being more “present” and the accompanying chords of the keyboards (with a typical organ sound). This and the previous track, Dr. Gull II, are somewhat of a good middle section, giving a “well deserved pause” in the middle of this rather long musical journey. La Maha Vishnuda contrasts the previous two tracks as it goes for a more rock style than other tracks, with more poignant guitars, and drumming. this track maybe short (4:44) and yet they manage in this short time to create a piece that doesn’t repeat itself, progresses from the start all the way to the end, by changing and evolving the theme, and the nice vocal line which should have been used more. Agua, fuego & porexpán is a great jazzy tune (at times I thought of Secret oyster, don’t know why…), again bouncy as some previous tracks, rich in sound, powerful in its execution. But just when I thought that I figured out the whole track, then at ~2:00 the tempo and whole music theme change and they start a new part, with the same bouncy style but different which in itself has a twist within it. This track shows how Senogul take something that might have otherwise been a rather usual sounding piece and made much more exciting, thrilling, interesting, complex and compelling. Not once does it sound forced to me, it’s all perfectly natural sounding, as if playing like this is something everyone does and they are just playing along with the flow. All I can say about this piece – Fantastic! Up there with Tango Mango and La Verbena Hermatica). Travesía de las gaviotas is a nice short mellow tune, rather minimalist compating to the other tracks with regards to the instrumentation used. La Mulata Eléctrica starts strong, with the bass, keyboards and drums playing a tune together, repeating it and then moving on to play another part ending with something that has a slightly Spanish flavour. This track is where Senogul reveal more fully their origins with the clapping in the middle and the Ole and the guitar playing with a Spanish “accent”. This track is another fine example to the variety of the band in terms of instrumentation, sound, style and a fine example of how they develop musical ideas and progress from start to end. It is another highlight of this album. This could have been an excellent closer of the album. Dr. Gull III is the longest of those similarly named tracks, and the only one that is really dynamic and probably the one with the most developed musical theme. It also brings back some of the motifs that were used in other tracks (unless I imagine it…). It is a bit more with a sinister mood, but still not overtly dark. I wouldn’t have ended with this track and rather use it in the middle like the second part but it is not something detrimental and they chose to end with that for a reason I suppose, so I respect that.

Another thing I think they should have done differently is make more use of the Melsos Choir. It could have given more “colour” to some of the tracks. I said their music is colourful as it si with all the instrumentation, but the choir was a good addition when it was used.

All in all, this is a magnificent release, one that I recommend highly. If you like varied music, enjoyable, well written, rich in sound yet not dense, music that progresses within each track and doesn’t stagnate, then this should please you. If someone were to ask me for an example of a band that plays a progressive form of music (not necessarily rock, but it obviously applies to them), then this album would be an excellent example. Give this a chance, go buy it!
 
 
I have contacted Senogul about the possibility to conduct an interview with them to publish here in PA (in order to further promote the band and their album). Once I get a reply I'll let you know but for now you can start thinking of questions you'd like to ask them, about the band members, background, musical preferences, the hardships they face as musicians who do this type of music, their new album etc.
You're also invited to read the other interviews I did with other lesser new prog bands:
Dave Murray Interview, May 2007 (Deserts Of Traun, not the Iron Maiden guitarist)
 
Have a good weekend everyone (I won't... Cry   LOL) and I'll try and be back to post more (not only in this thread. I'll prepare special posts for my I Recommend... thread).

                  Thanks Norbert  Thumbs%20Up you Transylvanian proghead Wink
 
Avestin, good to see you back again, I am very glad that you have visited this thread and thanks for your great contribution. About Senogul, perhaps it is an idea to do the interview together, I have a good contact with the band since I added Seonugul to Prog Archives and I have no problem with thinking about questions, especially about the guitar - and keyboard sound and ... the impact of Prog Andaluz LOL !
 
This evening and the forthcoming days, in this thread you can expect reviews about  Neverness, Treasure Island (featuring an Nexus epic), the new Omni and Little Tragedies ... and Peter Pan:
