Gentle Knife – “The Clock Unwound”
I always find it refreshing listening to a band that aims to sound different on every track, and I usually applaud artists willing to take this risk even if the results don’t always pan out. Gentle Knife takes this varied … Continue reading
IT – “We’re All In This Together”
IT are a UK prog band that remind me a LOT of fellow neo-proggers Pallas, Galahad, Arena and, to a lesser extent, IQ. If you had told me this was a new Pallas album, honestly I would have believed you. … Continue reading

Circuline – “Return”
Not many people probably know where Red Hook, NY is located but I’ve driven through that town many times on my way to and from my home in the Capital District region of Upstate NY. The interesting thing about Circuline, … Continue reading
M!ndgames – “Paradox of Choice”
M!ndgames are a prog band from Belgium that could have easily been on the Magna Carta record label back in their golden days in the 90s. Their style reminds me a bit of Cairo mixed with IQ and other British … Continue reading
