Playlist,Ranting And Random Thoughts

Here’s two books that I would like to add to my collection.

Mmm late start to my day busy morning planned out. But at the moment I cannot get motivated to get started lol.

Well today’s domestic duties were done, a trip to a local garden centre and tea, biscuits and cake in the cafe. My copy of Citizens Of Hope And Glory The Story Of Progressive Rock (Stephen Lambe) arrived today. I also watched two episodes of Secret Nazis Bases and now going to watch The Mummy (1999) then it’s.

Well it’s Saturday morning so drinking coffee and researching Japanese Psychedelic/Space Rock & Ambient Music and. I’ve found a few gems that went under my radar and some newer musicians that have some incredibly interesting music going on. I’ve only been able to find them on YouTube and Spotify so far but I haven’t looked on Bandcamp yet, so they’re maybe on there also. I’ve no idea what or. If there’s any particular plans. To do anything with the rest of the day except for chilling out lol. I may read the new book. But other than that. I’m unsure what is going down with the day. Could ended up being an extremely boring day eeks! I’m hoping that isn’t the case lol extremely lol. I’m starting to spout gibberish so. I’d better sign off for now…

The more that, I think about there most be more intelligent beings in an alternate universe, because the so called intelligent species on this planet are mostly members of a political party, scientists with bizarre theories or the conspiracy theorists. It seems that we need to provide ourselves with the resources to scientifically explore the possibility of intelligent life in the solar systems, which can explain the evolution of mankind as Darwin’s theory which suggests we. Evolved from apes. Possibly isn’t correct as. Apes do have intelligence and aren’t destroying the environment. We are. The climate change crisis is real just look at the weather that’s happening across the globe and it’s happening right now. Plus with additional issues like the garbage disposal into our oceans is destroying the wildlife habitat, it really doesn’t seem that there’s anyone else who seems to care about these issues to me. I feel like the only one who’s alone in the wilderness. I really know that there’s other persons who think and what actions in place to help protect our environment and the inhabitants of our wildlife. It’s just that I’ve not spoken to anyone else who seems to care in a long time so it doesn’t seem that there’s other individuals out there…



I’m slightly slipping back into not listening to music which is totally unacceptable in my opinion, and anyone who knows me would tell you that, it’s totally out of character for me. Not listening to any music. Mind you I’ve been feeling my age for the last few days. As my diabetes has continued causing my hands and feet to be aching, cold because of poor circulation, so I’m going to make an appointment to see the diabetic nurse tomorrow morning. As it’s causing me major issues within my everyday life. Especially walking and keeping my hands and feet warm. As I’ve had to start wearing gloves and two pairs of socks indoors lol. Just to help reduce symptoms since Friday evening…





The third thing that has been cultivating my mind lately is the historical significance facts about. Ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian. Inculcating the mythical creatures. Plus the fact of when the. Dinosaurs walked the earth which is also an important factor in my life’s been fascinated with dinosaurs since childhood. That’s probably why. I’ve to many interests, hobbies and too little time to indulge myself in them all. Especially when you added the factor in about the importance of Vinyl, Cds into the equation which some have said it’s an obvious obsession with me. But I’m not having any of that me obviously not obsessed with Vinyl and Cds don’t make me laugh. Mind you I’m in need of some new shelves and racks for the vinyl and cds lol. Look my name is geekfreak and I’m a music freak lol…





Oh well it’s mmm think about it oh Sunday morning phew the weekend is coming to an end lol…

Feeling like absolute s***! Symptoms include fever, headache and nausea.

website   Antony Kalugin biography ANTONY KALUGIN is a multi-talented musician and composer from Ukraine who initially began creating music as a new age artist back in 2003, but would eventually begin writing progressive rock under Caerllysi Music in 2008. ANTONY KALUGIN is widely known as the brainchild behind projects such as KARFAGEN, SUNCHILD, HOGGWASH, and AKKO.   At this point, ANTONY KALUGIN is the only person to have participated on his solo albums. He has played every instrument and wrote every song, making this a totally solo project. ANTONY KALUGIN'S debut solo album officially was The Water released in 2008. This album had mixed reviews on the time of its release and shows his transition from new age to progressive rock. After this debut, ANTONY KALUGIN would not write any new solo albums for quite some time. Instead focusing on writing music for his other projects. However, every once in awhile he would release a short EP displaying some music that he had been writing that wouldn't fix the normal criteria of the projects he was in.   In 2020, ANTONY KALUGIN began writing new material for a solo album called Marshmallow Moondust planned for a release on 10/10/20. From the samples given so far, this album has more in common with his work on KARFAGEN then any of the solo albums that were released in the past. This is Symphonic Prog in it's purest form. ANTONY KALUGIN'S early solo work can be described as a mix of PETER GABRIEL with some early elements of PINK FLOYD. However, ANTONY KALUGIN'S newest album leans closer to CAMEL and YES. I would recommend checking out ANTONY KALUGIN'S solo work if you are a fan of any of his projects listed above.

website   Hoggwash biography HOGGWASH was created to bring this style of music to the listener. In the capable hands of the talented Antony Kalugin (Ukraine) of KARFAGEN fame, Will Mackie (Wales) was able to collaborate on this, the first of many exciting musical projects together using many other superb musicians to complete our task. "The Last Horizon" is the first part of a story, which at present already has the next part ready to tell. The music is true to great bands from CAMEL, GENESIS, FOCUS, SAGA, PINK FLOYD to URIAH HEEP and all bands that played proper music. Not a copy, it's merely a starting point. Enjoy the music. LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN!

Not All Those Who Wander are Lost A Celtic Progressive Symphonic concept album that will transport you to the world inspired by the Lord of the Rings books by Tolkien.   It features fiery lead guitar playing, a progressive rhythm section, a real 100 piece choir, ethereal vocal textures, real strings, brass and uilleann pipes and irish whistles.   It starts at the Creation of Middle Earth and 14 tracks later it finishes with the voyage of Frodo to the Undying lands.   For more info on the album visit Davebrons.com   Note: This album is not endorsed in anyway by the Tolkien estate.

The third album of Major Parkinson shows a band that has matured significantly. The work has been named Twilight Cinema and is mixed by legendary Yngve Saethre in Duper Studio. The whole thing has been a dark, uncompromising and ambitious journey through a dense forest of melodies, closely accompanied by a black river of doom poetry. Twilight Cinema is a darker version of Major Parkinson than the one we know from previous releases, without having gone beyond the band's character. The classic Parkinson-like melodies have now found their place in a far tighter directed and more electronic sound. Artwork by Martin Kvamme


This is the 3rd album from The Tirith and comprises 7 tracks.   1) Return of the Lydia 2) Dying to Live 3) My People 4) Go the Drifter 5) Crystalwell 6) The Uncertainty Principle 7) The Meeting of the Ways   As usual The Tirith cover many bases within the Prog Rock genre, from powerful riff-based sequences, through stunning guitar solos to Prog ballads. The material is often hard to define, but is song based, powerful and, in contrast to many Prog bands, guitar led. The album has been expertly produced and mixed by Tim Cox. All in all the band feel that “Return of the Lydia” is a big step forward for The Tirith.



Thank you for buying this, the first ever album by I Am The Manic Whale. The songs on it are all about finding the beauty in things that are often not considered beautiful and how this changes with the passage of time. The earliest material on this album was written over ten years ago, although it is only in the last year that we have pulled out the stops to finish this creation. We hope that you enjoy it.   For more information about I Am The Manic Whale navigate your way to one of the links below.   W: iamthemanicwhale.com F: facebook.com/iamthemanicwhale T: @themanicwhale E: [email protected]
