I put together a list of all the new releases of January 2019 to make it easier for everyone to do reviews on all the new stuff. I made a New Year’s Resolution to try to make reviewing new releases a priority, and have found some really great discoveries while doing so. There are some that I didn’t get to, but I found out that there are several out there that didn’t get any other reviews than the ones that I posted. I want to put this list out on a monthly basis in order to hopefully help other members see what is new and provide more reviews on the new releases that get forgotten about and slip into oblivion. Anyway, here is the list of what was released last month. I am sure I have missed some, so feel free to add to the list, but make sure they are listed on this site first. If they are not, and you think they should be on Prog Archives, then go into the thread that is created for that purpose, namely “Suggest New Bands and Artists”. Robert Rich – “Tactile Ground” Progressive Electonic Released in mid January. Slug Comparison – “When You Were Living Here” Crossover Prog Released 1/16 Brave – “The Calm/The Storm” Progressive Metal Released 1/8 Vangelis – “Nocturne: The Piano Album” Prog Related Released 1/25 Lebowski – “Galactica” Crossover Prog Released 1/31 Mad Fellaz – “Mad Fellaz Mono – “No Where, Now Here” Post Rock/Math Rock Released 1/25 Soniq Theater – “ Big Red Panda – “Voyage” Psychedelic/Space Rock Released 1/3 Taliesin – “The Tally of Lies and Faceless Demos” Progressive Metal Released 1/9 Apocalypse – “35th Anniversary Concert” Symphonic Prog Released 1/7 PFM – “Celebration Live in Dream Theater – “Falling Into the Light” single Progressive Metal Released 1/10 Rozmainsky & Mikhaylov Project – “Adventures at the Babooinumfest 2017 Eclectic Prog Released 1/6 Peter Hammil – “X/Ten (Live)” Eclectic Prog Released 1/4 Focus – “Focus 11” Symphonic Prog 1/31 Protomythos – “Heavy Crowns” Crossover Prog Released 1/28 Born of Osiris – “The Simulation” Tech/Extreme Prog Metal Released 1/11 Roz Vitalis – “Great Expectations Live” Magnum – “Live at Symphony Hall” Prog Related 1/18 Buke and Gase – “Scholars” Crossover Prog 1/18 Paolo Siani & Friends – “The Leprechaun’s Pot of Gold” Rock Progressivo Italiano 1/25 Michael Zucker – “Strawberry Melt EP” Heavy Prog 1/21 Neal Morse Band – “The Great Adventure” Symphonic Prog 1/25 Santana – “In Search of Mona Lisa EP” Jazz/Rock Fusion 1/25 Magnesis – “ Helium Horse Fly – “Hollowed” Experimental/Post Metal 1/18 The End of the Ocean – “-aire” Post Rock/Math Rock 1/18 Samuel Cadima – “Outros Horizontes” Progressive Electronic 1/27 In Continuum – “Acceleration Theory” Crossover Prog 1/1 Ayermaniana – “El Reflejo” Psychedelic/Space Rock 1/7 Steve Hackett – “At the Edge of Light” Eclectic Prog 1/25 Lost Crowns - "Every Night Something Happens" - RIO/Avant Prog Celeste - "Il Resveglio del Principe" Rock Italiano Progressivo Released 1/24 Adventure - "New Horizon" Symphonic Prog Released 1/25 Evergrey - "The Atlantic" Progressive Metal Released 1/25 Metaphor - "The Pearl" Neo-Prog Released 1/4 Red Bazar - "Things as They Appear" Crossover Prog Released 1/26 Orchestre Celesti - "Retrospectives" Crossover Prog Released 1/26 Cody Carpenter - "Force of Nature" Jazz Rock Fusion Released 1/4 Wishbone Ash - "Live at Glasgow Apollo '77" Released 1/11
Humus - "Kush" Psychedelic/Space Rock Released 1/1 Echo Test - "Daughter of Ocean" Eclectic Prog Released 1/1 6LA8 - "Welcome to the Age of Flaws" Progressive Electronic Released 1/1 Sonora Sunrise - "The Route Through the Canyon" Released 1/16 Stephan Thelen - "Fractal Guitar" RIO/Avant Prog Released 1/18 Tracteur - "Tracteur" RIO/Avant Prog Released 1/14 Dimension Eleven - "The Transcendental Journey" Progressive Metal Released 1/2 Swifan Eolh & the Madra Choir - "The Key" Eclectic Prog Released 1/18 Kadinja - "Super 90' " - Tech/Extreme Prog Released 1/8 Gan Eden: Il Giardino delle Delizie - "...Canta Fabrizio de Andre" Released 1/19 Mangeur de Reves - "Histoires a l'Envers" Prog Folk Released 1/15 (digital only - CD will be released later Trip Hill - "Sponge Jam" Psychedelic/Space Rock Released 1/19 Trip Hill - "Yesterday Sun of Tomorrow" Psychedelic/Space Rock Released 1/19 Althea - "The Art of Trees" Heavy Prog Released 1/8 WYXZ - "YiY" RIO/Avant Prog Released 1/10 Emme Phyzema - "Dispelling Differences" RIO/Avant-prog Released 1/11 Anabasis - "Of Conviction" Progressive Metal Released 1/25 A Swarm of the Sun - "The Woods" Experimental/Post Metal Released 1/11 Phrozenlight - "Expansion Field" EP Progressive Electronic Released 1/27 Phrozenlight - "Moongirl" Progressive Electronic Released 1/4 Phrozenlight - "Snow" EP Progressive Electronic Released 1/20 Phrozenlight - "Space Sphere" Progressive Electronic Released 1/20 Babadag - "Sulinys" Progressive Folk Released 1/11 Accept - "Dream of Tree" 1/21
As you can see, this is quite a list. I tried to review everyone of them, but was unable to do them all, so I decided not to review live albums unless requested by the artist. There were a few others that I didn’t get to that I am hoping to. But, this is a daunting task and so your help is much appreciated. These artists rely on our reviews to help spread their music around. Just pick a few that you think you would be interested in or do as many as you want. Most of them are available for streaming on Bandcamp or YouTube and other places. You might find something you really like, like I did. Here are my top picks (in no particular order, remember I missed a few): 1) Mono – “No Where, Now Here” 2) Rozmainsky & Mikhaylov – “Adventures at the Babooniumfest 2017” 3) Buke and Gase – “Scholars” 4) Helium Horse Fly – “Hollowed” 5) Magnesis
– “ 6) Lost Crowns - "Every Night Something Happens" 7) Celeste - "Il Risveglio del Principe" 8) Evergrey - "The Atlantic"
Honorable Mentions: 1) Mad
Fellaz – “Mad Fellaz 2) Samuel Cadima – “Outros Horizontes” 3) Michael Zucker – “Strawberry Melt” Feel free to add comments or add any that I may have forgot and I will edit this list. Any suggestions will help as I plan on doing this every month, but feel free to review any time! TCat

Nice list, most of those entered by me, I usually listen to about 400-500 albums a year and grade them from 1 to 5 stars (No reviews, no time) up to date no album from this year I listened to got 5 stars, a bunch got 4 stars and the closest to 5 stars was the Neal Morse double album, I have a list of my 2016 5 stars (30) 2017 5 stars (59) (Best year in prog IMHO) 2018 (44)

Actually I did notice that you entered a lot of the new releases and that was extremely helpful. I really appreciated that most of the NRs were already added to the database thanks to your work! This way I could spend more time reviewing.

Both Helium Horse Fly and Electric Asturias (under Asturias) are already on the list. In fact HHF was a favorite of mine. I will add the others to the list. Thank you for the additions.

This album is incredible and I'd be very surprised if it isn't sitting at #1 on my list come December.

I have heard it and I reviewed it. It's pretty standard Santana with touches of R&B and jazz fusion, made up of 3 new tracks and 2 edited versions.

Great job, TCat! Also good job with all the new 2019 reviews. I don't keep up with new things as much as i should because there's so much old stuff lurking out there! This is a valuable resource indeed :)

Thanks Silly Puppy. When there are a lot of new releases like there have been in the last 2 - 3 weeks, I get behind and then start to wish I can review something more familiar, but I'm going to keep trying. I think I'm behind like 10 new releases now and it seems I will never catch up. So you'll see something reviewed from my personal collection once in a while.
