"Balancing songwriting and musicianship in a manner rarely achieved in the world of progressive rock, The Third Ending's new album rewards on both the individual-song and the whole-album levels. There's plenty of killer playing as well, but it's all without showing off for showing off's sake. Refreshingly mature and entirely cohesive." - Bryan Beller: solo artist and bassist with The Mike Keneally Band, Steve Vai, James LaBrie, Kevin Gilbert, and Dweezil Zappa among others. Nick Storr: Vocals, keyboards...

“Schematism ~ Onstage With Under The Sun” is culled from the band’s performance in 2001 at the NEARfest music festival, held yearly in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and has been mixed by producer/engineer Brad Aaron (of Kansas fame). This recording is unlike any other stereo live disc you’ve heard before. The stereo-imaging of the traditionally-recorded live setting has been reversed… This album is not one of those “live” CD’s that puts you in the crowd, away from the stage… This CD is...

The debut album, simply called “WolfSpring”, contains 8 tracks with a strong personality, where virtuosity is always turned to a music that’s complex, rich and yet within the reach of anybody. You will maybe hear some Led Zeppelin, Muse, Porcupine Tree or Pink Floyd influences, but you will never accuse the band of plagiarism, as they digested the past to create music for today....

The Antikythera Method bears witness to the growing musical abilities of and friendship between Chris Fournier and Tobe London over the nearly two years spanning early 2010 to late 2011. Starting off as a re-connection between them after a break following their first Centric Jones album (Foreign Tea), the album sessions evolved into the band gaining deeper insights into their composition, recording, production, and rehearsal methods - the result is an album that flows like the Northern Lights across the...

Symphonic keyboards, progressive guitars, driving bass and adventurous drums provide the backbone of this debut release by Gekko Projekt. The album opens with “Particle Dance”, an energetic instrumental that contains all the elements of classic Yes. “Black Hole” sounds like it could be a hit single for the band without betraying the progressive nature of the album. Echoes of Weather Report and jazz-rock are evident in the following two instrumentals, “Cognitive Dissonance” and “London...

"The way things end" is an hour plus, 15 track adventure, mixing progressive rock, metal, pop music and a bit of jazz. A string quartet from the Conservatoire National de Musique et de Danse de Lyon performs on it along with a classical flute, percussion and some other exotic instruments, such as the dilruba. The result is, as recently noted by an English reviewer, "a work of harmonious contrasts, (...) a jazzy liveliness but with a melancholy gothic underbelly; delicate subtlety and driving power...

Voice in the Light is the debut release from the powerhouse Symphonic Prog-metal band Amaran’s Plight. The clever and inventive writing skills of Gary Wehrkamp and DC Cooper are evident with the many memorable melodies, riffs and chops as well as mind numbing instrumentals and solos. The impressive rhythm section of Nick D’Virgilio and Kurt Barabas complete the circle with rock solid drumming and bass work. The band worked hard in 2006 to create a Progressive album of epic proportion. The conceptual...

Inspired by overwhelming feedback from their five song Christmas EP released in 2000, Ten point Ten rewarded their fans in 2003 with 12 25 (referring to the date of Christmas), a brilliantly executed full length Christmas CD containing a mix of original and classic Christmas material in a style that is inspired by groups such as Kansas, Yes, and Genesis. At times epic in its scope, and at times transcendent in it’s beautiful simplicity, this album embraces the Christmas message with artistry that defies...

Unwritten Pages’ Noah is an album born out of a passion for progressive, driving music, concept albums and 80’s science-fiction film. It combines the broad musical taste of its creator Frederic Epe and the stylistic and unique musical backgrounds of each project member, reaching from rock and metal to Latin influences and more classical/score-oriented arrangements. The album features soaring guitars, fat organs and bone-breaking drums, as well as a healthy dose of retro. But most of all, it never...
