Time Voyager
by Barock ProjecT
Symphonic Prog. Oriented towards 70s vintage prog and 80s/90s neo-prog. Sounds interesting, but what is its "nutritional value"?
Kate Bush released her debut album at 19. Why do I admire her musical power? Read on!
In 2021, right in the middle of the pandemic, Frank Smith and Philip Victor Bova released their debut album, "Tendrils." It's folk and rock of a more subdued kind.
Maps – Burned Or Lost
by Sills & Smith
In 2018, Sills & Smith released the album “Maps – Burned Or Lost” in Canada. Intelligent folk and rock.
In 1993, "Ever" was released by IQ as the first album on their own Label, Giant Electric Pea Lab. Finally, in 2025, "Ever" was pressed on vinyl. Neo-Prog
Songs Of Grace And Ruin by Kaery Ann
In 2023, the debut album of Italian singer Kaery Ann was released. Desert Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Folk Rock, Dream Pop, Doom.
Mike Oldfield's "QE2" was released in 1980. It features many guest musicians (including Phil Collins and Maggie Reilly). Technically superb. Is that enough for me?
2026. It took eight years for Phideaux to finally release a new album. Unmistakably still Phideaux.
“Derelicts” (2017) by Carbon Based Lifeforms summarizes their previous six albums, but is not a compilation. “Derelicts” encapsulates the evolution of the two Swedes. Ambient.
In 2024, Rosa delighted us with her atmospheric album Interior. For me, this is the album of the year 2024.
Under A Godless Veil
by Draconian
Wonderful doom/gothic from Sweden. Beauty and the Beast metal, atmospheric with a beautifully melancholic feel. Vinyl, 2020
Echoes In Time
by Sills & Smith
Sills & Smith's probably best album was released in 2015. A successful fusion of rock, country, blues, jazz and progressive elements.
Arriving Somewhere…
by Porcupine Tree
Porcupine Tree released their first DVD in 2006: the live album from the Deadwing tour. First-class CDs and a very well-made concert film on DVD. This is the CD + Blu-ray version from 2022.
In 2025, IQ finally released a new studio album. Can IQ impress again? Neo-Melodic Prog.
Breakfast In America
by Supertramp
Their most successful work, the album "Breakfast In America," was released in 1979. This is the original vinyl pressing from 1979, not a remaster.
Outside Or The Eastside
by Mike Zito
The brilliant blues guitarist with a new studio album in 2026. Why it doesn't quite meet my expectations.
Wish You Were Here
by Pink Floyd
After the masterpiece "Darkside Of The Moon," Pink Floyd struggled to create a worthy successor. Finally, in 1975, "Wish You Were Here" was released.
The studio album "The Road Of Bones" by the English Neo-Prog band IQ was released in 2014. It's not a concept album this time. It's Melodic Neo-Prog.
Darkher, founded in 2013 in Yorkshire, England, released their second EP in 2014. Female-fronted doom, gothic, dark melodic rock.
Up The Downstair
by Porcupine Tree
For me, the first "real" album from the then-Project Porcupine Tree was released in 1993. The band's development continued, and in 2021 "UTD" was reissued on CD.
This album was released digitally in 2021. New band members, same music, vintage hard rock. Now also available on vinyl (2026).
Porcupine Tree released the album "The Sky Moves Sideways" in 1995, which was re-released as a remaster in 2021. Psychedelic prog "reminiscent" of Pink Floyd.
Porcupine Tree released two EPs in 1992 and 1993, which were remastered and released together in 2022. Ultimately, Steven Wilson's foray into ambient music proved to be short-lived.
In 2024, Frank Smith and Philip Victor Bova released their second album, "Critical Misunderstandings On The Precipice." It's a blend of folk and rock, garnished with a touch of prog.
Birth Of Violence
by Chelsea Wolfe
2019 – Chelsea Wolfe presented her acoustically oriented album. It doesn't get more intense than this record.
The second album from the British dark rock band Antimatter. Still featuring Duncan Patterson on E-Bass (Anathema).
Alternative Matter
by Antimatter
To mark the band's twelfth anniversary, the compilation "Alternative Matter" was released. A successful one indeed.
After "Hand.Cannot.Erase," some songs were left unreleased, and we get them served up here in a tasty reissue 2016.
2022 – Porcupine Tree released a new album after 13 years. Technically perfect, a good album. Has PT evolved?
