| 2008-05-09 07:44:00 |
Symphonic Prog-Italy
"Con una caratteristica formazione con due tastieristi e senza chitarra, la Corte dei Miracoli, da Savona, realizzò solo un album per la piccola Grog, con l'aiuto del chitarrista dei New Trolls Vittorio De Scalzi (che era anche coinvolto nella gestione della casa discografica). Il gruppo era stato formato intorno al 1973 dagli ex componenti dei Tramps, tra cui il tastierista

Psychedelic/Space Rock-Germany
"For their third album, the band decided to go for a more "jam band" approach. I of course, don't mean the DAVE MATTHEWS BAND or PHISH (or for the era this album came out, the GRATEFUL DEAD) approach, but taking the guitar/Hammond organ approach that the band explored on "Inside" and more concentrate on lengthy jams. Examples obviously goes to songs like "The Light

Symphonic Prog-New Zealand
"Airlord was formed in Wellington in 1976, played the pubs and flew to Australia the following year, recorded an excellent albeit ignored album, "Clockwork Revenge", and disbanded in 1978. The group failed to secure a large New Zealand audience, largely because they performed original material. Airlord had to escape to Australia to earn a decent living, and although

Progressive Rock-United Kingdom
"Well this is an excellent album. Tarkus is of course the main feast here. This side of the album is excellent and is one of their greatest works. Tarkus shows the development as a group they will later display in "Brain Salad Surgery", Karn Evil 9 the example of greatness here.

Pop Rock-United Kingdom
"Elton’s first album has been called naive and under produced, and that the only half-decent song on it is ‘Skyline Pigeon’. I disagree with this thinking. The opening track ‘Empty Sky’ offers the listener a wonderful example of the partnership between Bernie and Elton. The lyrics show the genesis of Bernie’s awareness of emotional situations and his interest in isolation

Proto-Prog-United Kingdom
"Their first-ever album, Please Please Me is raw and rough and still very rock & roll. Having already scored two hits when this appeared, Lennon and McCartney were only just beginning to flex their writing muscles and so relied heavily on the cover material to see them through. Their insecurity about their own abilities seems curious in hindsight since they'd pulled the

"Perhaps the most unusual of all Supertramp albums and you can see why it threw so many people. It has a rough edge to it, was totally different to the excellent debut but I will defend that in parts it has some great tracks which showed an inkling of better things to come.' Rosie Has Everything Planned' is a typical Hodgson song full of melancholy. ' Travelled'

"Well, in my very own opinion I LIKE IT TOO MUCH!, In every pieces you can find the classic Rick Wakeman style!, and then well all the songs I like, especially Birdman of Alcatraz makes me cry, and Merlin the Magician, and I think it’s the best piano/keyboards album that I ever heard.

Neo Progressive-Poland
"I was interested in this band just because I was born in Poland and wanted to know more about its progressive scene. I was truly amazed while listening to their music. This is neo prog at its highest level. Guitars sound very similar to Rothery's ones, and it's to me a very good point as it provides an intense emotion to the music. However, vocals are not as good as Fish's

Symphonic Prog-France
"Sadly, the rating system doesn't admit the possibility to add another half star. SKRYVANIA was a very young band from France that, in the late seventies, produced their only homonymous album. These boys, evidently, admired the big prog monsters GENESIS and YES, and this fact was expressed in their music. "Skryvania" has the classic symphonic rock sound with energetic,

Symphonic Prog-France
"Pulsar's second album, 'The Strands of the Future', is one of the definite and undisputable masterpieces of French prog, and together with their next recording 'Halloween', incarnates the band's peak in terms of inspired writing and skillful performing. Their style keeps on being somewhat inspired in 73-75 era Pink Floyd, but there are also obvious references to Tangerine

Eclectic Prog-USA
"YEZDA URFA were another great symphonic-prog band from the late-70s American prog scene. Their two main sources of inspiration seemed to be YES and GENTLE GIANT, but they pushed those two influences to the extreme (If you think the Jon ANDERSON's lyrics were esoteric, you got to hear the lyrics on this album). Not to mention that the music here bursts with energy and invention.

Progressive Rock-United Kingdom
"This is perhaps the best pure piano album Rick has ever released. It is soft and melodic, but intense and fast as well. Therefore it is quite varied and never boring. It reminds me of the great Rick compositions; tracks like for instance "Caesarea" from "Wakeman with Wakeman". This album has a more "grandiose" feel than most of Rick's pure piano albums.review by

Unfortunately it’s very short with just about half an hour, but at least none of the nine songs is a real failure.

The harmonic solutions are fiery and never pretentious, a sort of "baroque" ambitious project inside their typical romantic apparatus. In my opinion this music should have to be entirely performed in a theatre, in front of a silent crowd!
