I've got "The Dematerialized Passenger", I think it was pretty good.  Might have to check this one out at some point.

Thanks are due to Marty, who didn't like the album very much but whose brilliant description of it made me curious. Cheers Marty!

Combat Astronomy RIO/Avant-Prog

Review by Marty McFly
Collaborator Crossover, Prog Metal and E&O Teams

3 stars I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from something called like that. Some kind of Dark Space Prog. And from the first seconds of quite monotonous (but haunting nevertheless) song Astralized, we know what this will be about.

After all, Space is dark place, isn't it ?

Monotonous, hypnotic riff remains in these songs. What is the most interesting for Avant lovers, well, probably nerve scratching saxophone which really shines in some songs (needed spicing of them). Title suite Earth Divided by Zero starts like very Hard Rock riff with some keyboards joining later. It creates haunting combination (and saxophone kicks in soon afterwards), because number of instruments used on this album grants either big weird chaos, or new horizons of music (it's up to you and your likings).

Oriental like rhythms are available when noisy music calms down (so you can hear them) and this all sounds very interesting, only that I cannot find it as enjoyable as I would like. Because this album takes strong personality (or special persona with special tastes) to like it.

3(-), maybe in future.

This is the continuation of the #1 thread where I wrote

It seems to me that there is a certain encouraging amount of interest for new music and albums of 2010 on PA, but people don't follow recommendations unless they come with "all inclusive". I have decided to start a series of recommendation threads for 2010 albums, in which I promote albums that can be fully streamed for FREE on the internet, thus making the sampling as easy and accessible as possible for those interested. There's no excuse for not checking these releases out now!


I am continuing the series with the album Earth Divided By Zero by the avant-prog band Combat Astronomy. I know that demanding avantgarde music has less fans than other more mainstream oriented genres, but I think that such an overlooking of this album is a crime. It only has two ratings! Shocked

The album can be heard in full on bandcamp, HERE. Psychedelic industrial avant-jazz rock... hell yeah!
