^ I've heard a couple of tracks. Good stuff, but, sadly for me who doesn't own a turntable, it's a vinyl only release (I think), so I won't be purchasing.
Also, it features Motorpsycho bassist and vocalist Bent Sæther too, if I'm not mistaken.

Has anyone checked out the new band Spidergawd? It features prominent Motorpsycho drummer Kenneth Kapstad who at the moment seems to be featured on all experimental albums coming out of Norway.
It's on it's way to me as we speak, but I haven't heard anything from it as of yet other than it being psychedelic (which was the clincher for me).  Just found this tune: The psychedelic rock thing wasn't a joke on their behalf  Edited by Guldbamsen - January 28 2015 at 05:25 |

As far as prog goes, I haven't heard too many 2014 albums.
IQ - The Road of Bones Phish - Fuego Those are two albums that I find to be really good.

I just listened to this - musical magic! Thanks for the tip. I see you have Combat Astronomy on your list - don't know if you were aware that another project with Martin Archer, Orchestra of the Upper Atmosphere, also had their second album out this year? Very good indeed (better than the first album, for my money).

I really dig them too
Long John Sailor prog lives!!!
I'd say they have received a fair bit of reviews compared to 95% of the other 2014 releases though. |

Wow have any of you heard Twilight Cinema by Major Parkinson? Album released 2014. Wow listening to them first time today, a suggestion by a friend (Olav) and it's brilliant!!!!!!!!!! Wow wow wow! ha! We need more reviews for them because they are really good and certainly more exposure would be great not only for them but equally for our listening experience!
 bounce, bounce, bounce, happy bounce! I like them a lot, first listen and I can tell already wow!

Sorry Jim but with some people you truly get to new and unknown heights of obscurity. Most prog would be considered obscure by any mainstream music fan, but when folks like yourself and Phil chime in (i guess I am a little like that myself) there's just no telling where we wind up on the map! |

From Steve's thread, these are some of my favorite new discoveries of the year.
Complete with brief description and some samples. I tend to search for the smaller and under-the-radar type performers, which is why you'll find few if any big names on my list. But I think there's some good stuff here. Hope you find something you like.  Over the Earth - catchy as hell crossover band Nomads of Hope - experimental folk, fans of Vashti Bunyan, Pererin, Samla Mammas Manna check it out Nucleus Torn - Swiss woodlands folk metal Mushroom Giant - muscular instrumental rock Earth - desert psych for wild misadventures Tacita Intesa - new RPI with impressive debut Secret Tales - fantasy, folk, heavy, female vocals, good D and D soundtrack Lowercase Noises - discovered them prior to this year but this is likely my album of the year pick Seris - tight metal with unique female vocals Mursic - theatrical symph metal with pop sensibilities S91 - Italian symph metal with female vocals Igayon - Israeli symph outfit with a friendly, intimate sound Dying Sun - brutal extreme metal squall, not for the weak of heart Kevin Geier - talented multi instrumentalist Superfluous Motor - cool instrumental fusion concept album Voice of Eye - rediscovered the trippy, experimental tribal ambient masterpiece called "Vespers" |

I chose my top ten based on what I was really addicted to this year. Some of the other favs could eventually slip in to the top ten if I had more time with them.

Swans - To Be Kind 6. Wolves in the Throne Room - Celestite 7. SORNE - House of Death: Book 1 8. Ishraqiyun - Perichoresis 9. Knifeworld - The Unravelling 10.

Sure he has - we're already on page two  I'm waiting for as long as I can with my list - mostly because I can't make up my mind. The bugger keeps changing on me! |
