I've only got the Vangelis album as yet. The only one I'm excited about getting is In Continuum - Acceleration Theory which is Dave Kerzner's latest project and features both Marco Minnemann and Nick D'Virgilio on drums.
I'm not sure if it's got a proper European release as yet though. I would rather not pay the £18 odd pounds + £5.23 delivery if I purchase from Amazon US.

I was unable to find Stephan Thelen in the archives as a solo artist.  They must be entered in the archives to be included on the list.  You can request the artist addition in the appropriate thread.  Thanks!


I did this already.  No one has taken any actions.

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.


Cool, just read it. Every time I think Carlos may revisit Santana III-Caravanserai-Welcome territory, he seems to only drive by it like a car splashing gutter water on a bystander. I'll still check it out.

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 III”  Eclectic Prog  Released 1/26

Mono – “No Where, Now Here”  Post Rock/Math Rock  Released 1/25

Soniq Theater – “Brandenburg” Crossover Prog  Released 1/1

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 Nottingham 1976”  Rock Progressivo Italiano  Released 1/25

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

Asturias – “Electric Asturias: Trinity”  Neo-Prog  Released 1/30

ESP – “Three EP”  Crossover Prog   Released 1/19

Roz Vitalis – “Great Expectations Live”   RIO/Avant Prog  Released 1/1

Dalton – “Eden”   Rock Progressive Italiano   1/11

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

Bremen – “Enter Silence”   Psychedelic/Space Rock   1/18

Neal Morse Band – “The Great Adventure”  Symphonic Prog  1/25

Santana – “In Search of Mona Lisa EP”  Jazz/Rock Fusion  1/25

Magnesis – “Alice au Pays des Delires”  Neo Prog  1/23

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
 

 

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 – “Alice au Pays des Delires” (1st disc)

6)   Lost Crowns - "Every Night Something Happens"

 

Honorable Mentions:

1)     Mad Fellaz – “Mad Fellaz III”

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!

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.

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

I couldn't find a listing for Lost Crowns on PA.  I will check it out though. 

They've just been cleared for addition by the Avant team, they'll be up soon. Smile

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!  Clap  This way I could spend more time reviewing.

Thanks for that.  I have used that blog also and have caught a few new releases that way too.
