I found this to be brilliant and a wonderful recreation of Pink Floyd’s 1970 masterpiece, The Atom Heart Mother Suite from the album Atom Heart Mother. Pink Tones, a Spanish Floyd tribute has truly done this justice and also by performing it in an amphitheatre in Spain. Crystal clear and spectacularly filmed. I watched…

Australian Prog Band, Myriad – Quietude Album Review
This 2013 release came in to my lap today and I found a four song album/Ep of Australian Prog Rock, a first for me. Most Prog bands I have encountered outside of Europe, the UK and North America have been either South American (Bauer) or South African (Albinobeach) so this was an absolute treat…

Seven Second Circle- A Short Review
I have listened to it quite a number of times and it’s definitely the New Prog sound and deserves its right in the annals of the Halls of Prog Rock. From: The deep, poignant and psychological facets in the lyrics. The accentuating drums, solid, driving yet speaking out in spots where you want a…
