Intense improvised session from Alex Machacek (guitars), Jeff Sipe (drums), and Matthew Garrison (bass). Easily the best thing Alex has done since Featuring Ourselves. There is more than enough fireworks from each musician to go around. There is a s...

Remastered edition of the second album from this Belgian progressive rock band. Originally released in 1976, Machiavel balanced the drama and musicality of Genesis with the poppier sensibilities of bands like Supertramp and Kayak. Mix 12 string and M...

One of the greatest keyboard oriented prog albums of all time finally getting an official reissue. Many of you know Duncan Mackay from his work with Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, and some of you may be familiar with his solo album called Score. Chime...

Mad Crayon started out years ago as a bit of a Marillion clone. They were actually pretty good at it but my how times have changed. Preda is a successful amalgam of old school prog and fusion but served up with contemporary production. Vocals are in...

Powerful and moody band that for some reason gets lumped in with the gothic metal crowd - I guess because they have a female singer. Real modern, in your face production conveys lots of angst and anger. Cool stuff.

The band's second album is the better of the two - it features Lucio Fabbri and is more progressive sounding. This edition features 3 bonus tracks and arrives in a mini-lp sleeve.

From italianprog.com: "This band from Bergamo was formed aroun..

Maeve of Connacht was an odd project. The band consists of members of the defunct Italian bands Black Jester and Asgard - now living in Germany. The band is fronted by Hubi Meisel. The music touches on progressive and power metal with touches of fol...

Debut release is a derivation of classic prog rock fused with metal. Long heavy tracks.

Tunes are a bit shorter this time out but there is still that solid mix of heavy progressive rock.

Fifth album from the Gardner brothers finds them streamlining the approach just a tad - the tunes slightly shorter (no 34 minute epics here) but the music retains their hard edged neoprog sound. Bombastic stuff that will appeal to old fans of Yes and ...

The Laser’s Edge is proud to announce the signing of the British progressive rock band Magenta for the exclusive North American release of their fourth studio album, titled Metamorphosis.

Without abandoning the sense of melody and dynamics th.

New edition of the band's second album features a remix by Rob Reed and remastered sound courtesy of Bob Katz (who called me to proclaim this "reference recording material"). There is a bonus DVD (NTSC - region 0) which features a 5.1 remix and video ...

First legit reissue of this freakbeat classic originally released on the budget Saga label in 1968. Magic Mixture were not untypical of the time - swirling organ backing outbursts of fuzzed guitar and harmonized vocals. Like most Saga releases the al...

Fifth album from this (apparently) popular power metal band from Romania. The band is fronted by Ana Mladinovici, who has a very nice voice albeit with a slight accent. She doesn't have the range of Tarja - her voice is more along the lines of Sabine...

"Magician came to life in 2000 in Porto Alegre, Brazil, when Cristiano Schmitt (guitar), Elizandro Max (bass) and Zé Bocchi (drums) who used to play in a project called Anya, joined Dan Rubin (Vocals) and Renato Osorio (guitar), that had left the Ris...

Magma seems to be on a bit of a roll these days. It wasn't that long ago that they gave us KA and now we have the long rumored Emehntehtt Re. Supposedly an old work from the 70s that was never recorded but bit and pieces have cropped up over the year...

Christian Vander has been opening up the tape vaults releasing some prime (and some not so prime) Magma material. Mekanik Kommandoh is the previously unreleased original version of Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh which was rejected by their record label.

Tasty 2 CD live set is perhaps the best way to enter into the Kobian realm. Long available as a 2LP set this is an expanded version of their legendary concerts in Paris, January 1975. Didier Lockwood's violin work is mesmerizing. Of all the Magma al...

With Jannick Top back in the fold offering up his monstrous bass playing, Udu Wudu is classic Magma. For the most part this is the end of the prime period.
