Prog Reviews 3

TSMS
by Porcupine Tree

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.

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.

Voyage 34
by Porcupine Tree

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. 

We Lost The Skyline
by Porcupine Tree

Digipack Live CD, 2008. Porcuppine Tree reduced to electric and acoustic guitar. Different and that's why it works really well.

Queen II
by Queen

In 2015 a half-speed remaster of Queen's excellent second album, "Queen II," from 1974 was released. It covers a range of genres, from glam and rock to art and prog.

Intourist
by Refestramus

2024 – Prog-Rock from Chicago. “Newcomer” Old-School Prog – successful and unique? CD.

Beyond Man And Time
by RPWL

This progressive rock album was released in 2012. For me, it's the best thing RPWL has ever produced. A real powerhouse on vinyl too.

Space Metal
by Star One

In 2002, “Space Metal” was released, the first album by the super project/band Star One led by mastermind Arjen Lucassens. 

Relations
by The Foundation

Melodic neo-prog from the Netherlands. If you like Pendragon, Arena, or The Mission, you'll find what you're looking for.

Black Light District
by The Gathering

The EP Black Light District was released in 2001 to mark the launch of the Psychedelic Records label. Small but mighty? CD.

Home by
The Gathering

2006 not only brought a new album, “Home,” but also a turning point.

Sleepy Buildings
by The Gathering

An Acoustic Evening. Live 2004. For me this is the best live album by The Gathering from the Anneke van Giersbergen era.

Nightwatch
by The Grand Sheep

The second studio album Nightwatch was released in November 2024. Prog/Art Rock from Aschaffenburg.

It Leads to This
by The Pineapple Thief

On February 9th, 2024, delicate prog from the “Ananas Dieben” was released. Vinyl Black.

Your Wilderness
by The Pineapple Thief

2016. Melodic development by the Thiefs, melodic rock with a progressive twist. Is that good? CD.

The Wall
by Roger Waters

A 3-LP version of the Roger Waters concert movie "The Wall" was also released in 2015. Can vinyl work with so much bombast from the live show?

4 1/2
by Steven Wilson

After "Hand.Cannot.Erase," some songs were left unreleased, and we get them served up here in a tasty reissue 2016.

Grace For Drowning
by Steven Wilson

Steven Wilson 2011. Lots of Porcupine Tree, King Crimson and Blackfield in an interesting mix of prog, pop and jazz elements.

TH5 OV5RV95W
by Steven Wilson

The master of progressive rock melodies has once again created a masterpiece. A spacey one. Black Vinyl.

Close T The Edge
by Yes

In 1972, the groundbreaking progressive rock album "Close To The Edge" was released. A milestone not only for Yes. Here as 2012 reissue on 180g black vinyl.
