Yes Glass house, if you enjoy progressive folk like Gryphon and also Gentle Giant, this is a great CD to own. Edited by dalt99 - December 06 2007 at 16:33 |

Dalt99 and 'Dutch Tony', I am very glad you like Oaksenham, this thread was the first that mentioned Oaksenham and this this thread is the first that mentioned Obscura, Neverness, Hobson's Choice and ... R-U Kaiser By the way, Progwalhalla Hans will contact Watcher Records to order R-U Kaiser CD's because of my enthousiastic reports !

Thanks Erik for your great work! If I wouldn't have heard Oaksenham on this great website I would never have bought them. I live in the USA so it's hard to find out about prog bands in Armenia! Thanks everyone for sharing their finds and adding great new music to this site! I may now have to go on the hunt for R-U Kaiser. Hope I can find being sold here. I see that Greg Walker and Syn-Phonic Music does not have it yet

Progwalhalla Hans is superior to Greg Walker, Dalt99 By the way, have you heard Spanish progrock sensation Senogul?

Not really new or unknown, i got Rick Wakeman's Journey to the center of the earth last Progwalhalla meeting.Now this is quite an album, described as pretentious pompous and overblown it is in other words exactly as it should be. A truly enjoyable and memorable listening esperience.

Dirk, I played the DVD version yesterday, I was carried away by The Caped Crusader playing all those wonderful vintage keyboards like the Minimoogs, Hammond organ, Fender Rhodes electric piano, Mellotron and Hohner clavinet I am glad that lots of new lesser known and unknown bands also use those vintage keyboards like Ubi Maior, Nemo, Nexus, Black Bonzo, etc. unsurpassed sounds

There is a DVD from Journey? I certainly need to have it. That's a good list of bands you mention there Erik, don't know Black Bonzo yet.

Earlier today I read this; http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=154590
.
A band called Warm Dust, I never heard of that band, but because of another great review by Mr Trane I'm gonna look for that album for sure. In other words Hans will look for me . ( I hope ).

Dirk, what a coincidence: I have the DVD Journey To ... by Wakeman double: the first version and recently I bought the second version with a 30 minutes docu about the Journey To .. worldtour, it's up to you, I am gonna compete Progwalhalla Hans !
About Sean Trane, once I was the #2 in the most prolific reviewers competition, only a few hundred reviews behind him .... times, they are a changing

Erik, I've been listening to the R-U KAISER demos and I'm much impressed. It's on my list to buy in the new year. Cheers!

Was Lobster Newberg already discussed here? Varied, with many influences (someone called them retro-progressive in a discussion ). I got their CD in the mail today, and with the first track I was in Pink Floyd world. Later on other influences come in - and don't forget: they have an organ in some of the tracks (not a Hammond I think, but I'll check).
Their being prepared for inclusion in Eclectic here at PA. |

I read about Lobster Newberg and noticed a lot of attention for that band, I am curious to the first reviews after their inclusion Angelo.

Well, just listened to the myspace songs from Lobster, they haven't made an impression yet. Those songs, I know, aren't telling the whole story........

Dutch Tony, I am more excited about bands that deserve an inclusion like Obscura, Neverness, Hobson's Choice, Yesterdays, Combination Head and recently R-U Kaiser. Since my reviews in this thread I got many positive reactions, thanks and I hope this will be a boost for fellow collaborators to add these bands to Prog Archives, good luck!
