Aégis
by Theatre Of Tragedy

In 1998 the band released their third studio album, Aégis, marking their transition from gothic metal to dark rock. It's an atmospheric and successful album.

In The Court Of The Crimson King
by King Crimson

In 1969, King Crimson released their debut album “In The Court Of The Crimson King,” heralding the beginning of progressive rock.

Musique
by Theatre Of Tragedy

Goth metal, dark rock, and then synth? Hardly any other ToT album has been more controversial. Some turned away, while new listeners came along.

Playing The Fool Live
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.

All Born Screaming
by St. Vincent

In 2024, multi-instrumentalist Annie Clark, aka St. Vincent, released her new album. It's a fantastic one.

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.

Oxygène
by Jean Michel Jarre

In 1976, the Frenchman made instrumental electronic music suitable for radio and the mainstream. Jarre impressively demonstrates here that the mainstream can also cut a good figure.

Rust Never Sleeps
by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

A remaster of this great album, which originally appeared in 1979, was released in 2017. And it's still worth listening to.

Home by
The Gathering

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

Storm
by Theatre Of Tragedy

In 2006, ToT released a new album. Without Liv Kristine, with new management and a new record label. The question: Still good?
