My friend Martin (Alucard) who is doing stellar work here in PA has added the fantastic band http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=3294 - One Shot from France, and so I thought it's a great opportunity to mention them here (though I am sure it won't get as many replies as when Blind Guardian was added, even though they are a wonderful band).
I give you the PA Martin wrote:
One Shot was created in 1999 by keyboarder Emmanuel Borghi and guitarist James McGaw, both Ex-Magma musicians. The original duo was completed by bassist Philippe Bussonnet and drummer Daniel Jeand'heur for their first self-titled record, released in 1999.Originally only a demo tape, the record presents classic jazz-rock with strong influences by the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Their second record "Vendredi 13" was recorded live on April 13,2001 in the "Cave A Musique" in Mācon (France) and contains long instrumental compositions closer to Magma with a touch of King Crimson. In an interview the band members described their music as 'rock-jazz-progressive' with a special accent on the rock sound. In 2007 the band released their third record "Ewaz Vader" comprised of four long compositions with a harder edge, occasionally approaching metal. :::Martin Horst::: They appeared in the last Nearfest Friday pre-show. I personally highly recommend getting http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=16985 - Ewaz Vader from 2006.

Sounds cool, thanks! I love how you can hear everything. Did you notice, while the drumming is good, it's not so insanely loud that it crushes everything. I love that. So much good French stuff. Did you hear Eclat's last album? mmmm. ------------- |

I'll give it a try. I have not listened to Magma yet so hopefully One Shot pushes me to try some Magma. |

Ewaz Vader is excellent!
The opening track is simply amazing. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |
