The first album in 1976 and an instant classic. I'm reviewing the black vinyl gatefold from 1987, remastered by A. Parsons.

In 2024, Louise Patricia Crane released her second solo album as a limited vinyl/CD-DVD. Music good, is the box too?

by Genesis
This great album by Genesis was released in 1973. Here remastered in 2018, pressed on 180g black vinyl.

by Gentle Giant
In 1977, Gentle Giant The Fool played live. They were undoubtedly a great band. And I just can't get into them.
In 2025, IQ finally released a new studio album. Can IQ impress again? Neo-melodic prog.
“Subterranea Live At De Boerderij October 22 2011” was released in 2023. A worthy 3-LP set, top shelf in terms of sound and design. Blue, red, orange vinyl.
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.

Misplaced Childhood
by Marillion
1985 – Prog-Rock as Neo/Melodic Prog-Rock. Commercially successful and good too? Black Vinyl.
Take an old CD, remaster it. Then another CD with 5 songs that every Marillion fan has in their collection anyway. Musically, of course, without a doubt.
Script for A Jesters Tear
by Marillion
In 1983, Marillion released their groundbreaking neo-prog debut. Initially derided as the "second best Genesis", Marillion blossomed considerably. Script for a Jesters Tear belongs in every prog collection.
