| For more information about this band go to www.Bachdenkel were an English rock group which came to life in and around the King's Heath area of Birmingham in the late 1960s, evolving out of a combo called "U No Who".They subsequently found themselves in Paris, long the refuge of revolutionary artists and artistic revolutionaries.Bachdenkel settled in France and over the next decade went on to produce 2 albums: the first of these, "Lemmings", is generally regarded as their best.Rolling Stone magazine once called Bachdenkel "...This page was last modified 21:50, 6 January 2008.See Copyrights for details.If you do not want to deal with the intricities of the noscript

Sete Cidades (01?Depois Do Fim is a classic South American prog gem!The arrangements are rich, complex and, most importantly,
inventive.The
musicians are also first rate, though the guitarist, drummer and bassist
most catch my attention.He
does quite well, and on a couple of tracks he shows he definitely has the
chops.Genesis wannabe, let me
extoll their virtues!Did you ever get an album, and upon the first listen
you were extremely impressed, but not quite blown away?However, as you
listened to it over the next few months, you realize that it's a classic,
one of the best you've ever heard.This is my impression of Bacamarte's
one and only album, Depois do Fim.Genesis, but the album comes across
with more of an Italian or Argentinian style.I'm sure I've heard Rick Wakeman do.Brazilian band, from the 80s, but with a definitely 70s sound.Almost no digital
keyboards were used, so this adds to the '70s (Italian) prog feel of the
whole record!Editor's Note: A few years ago, I did some web research on Bacamarte and found that
they were supposed to have released Sete Cidades in 1999, but I added the
sentence, "but I have been unable to find any evidence that this occurred".Hello, the Sete Cidades was released in a limited edition by Mario Neto, in
2001 or 2002 I'm not sure, the CD doesn't mention it.Bachdenkel was a British band that lived in France.Cyrillic alphabet) was the second of those.It's a pleasant enough album, but not
spectacular.Swinburne's
unique and warm vocals makes this album a great listening experience, a true Masterpiece
and highly recommended.Colin Hodgkinson), who played chords and treated his
bass like a guitar.The two first albums had prog overtones and definitely
had strong moments and original ideas.The group later faded completely
into blues and lost appeal.Hodgkinson played with Jan Hammer among others after Back Door broke up
in 1977.Blunt Object: Live in Tokyo (05, Live)
Suspicious Activity?Traffic meets Grand Funk Railroad with an emphasis on spiritual rhythm
and blues.It has recently been
reissued on CD and sports the great cover work by Roger Dean.Badirov is a drummer, but has written and arranged
all the songs on Greeting from Nostradamus.The recording quality is perfect, as are all of
Badirov's guest musicians, and this is an excellent release.My friend Vitaly Menshikov (of Uzbekistan's Progressor
web site) sent me the first pressing of this CD from Uzbekistan.Oriental, Arabian, South American, African, and French folk
music.King Crimson experimental
stylings of Le Chat Noir.Musea release and sure to please a wide
audience.At the cost of melodious words.The Tulsa Project (99, as Squid Pro Quo)
The Magic Empire Strikes Back...Nobody is that
good!"There is somebody
that good.Bagsby is uncategorizable, but he is a master at whatever he
decides to do.So I'll have to tell you about each
one in turn.But you may not want to listen to it very frequently.If you know what it is you're listening to, you can still hear the bird song.Tulsa redneck buying this album at a local store thinking this
was what I was getting, I would be really ticked off.Actually I let my prog influences really blatantly hang out on those discs."And not just Prog either."The Tulsa Sound" which (despite the goofy subtitles) is actually a serious prog
piece with Kurt Rongey (who also came from Tulsa).The bottom line is that if you can lay your hands on this CD, there's more than
enough cool prog and related music on it to satisfy any progger.Gong, for example, then you won't
have any trouble with this either.No, the music is nothing like Gong, just the
silliness).Times are tough and I need a jar for my pickle."Still, if anything, this CD probably
contains even more good progressive material than The Tulsa Project.Transphoria is easily the most progressive of the bunch.Tangerine Dream, I'm talking
about Ussachevsky, Stockhausen and Subotnik).This CD is beyond recommended, this is
an essential progressive album for anyone's collection.Happy Hour for a Pack of Screaming Monkeys: Can you guess that we're about
to get into Bagsby's humorous side again?This is an album of the music of Raymond Scott,
whose compositions have been used in over 120 cartoons since the 1930's.Bagsby added Hydrophony to this release as
a bonus track.Welcome Back My Friends to the Gun Show That
Never Ends.In spite of the snazzy title, I must say that this is the first
Bagsby CD I've heard that really doesn't do that much for me.It feels like a series
of musical brainstorming sessions that are completely unconnected.Bagsby's entire musical palette.NECAM" from Steve Hackett's Please Don't
Touch.Genesis' Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
album with the giant Tulsa "oil man" statue replacing Rael.Here we get to hear again how interesting Bagsby
can be when he's inspired ...The first and last cuts almost make this CD worth having.CD that someone would send to a horror movie producer
in hopes he'll hire them to do a soundtrack for his next movie.Or you could put
it on at Halloween to scare the kids off.Not Bagsby's best
effort by any stretch of the imagination.Finally, we come to what is by far Bagsby's most excruciating release,
Gang Green Country (this one credited to the Appalachia Bay City Rollers).I'm going to Hell for my beliefs, the
Devil will play this album for me for the rest of eternity.But in Hell, I'll probably have enough smoke anyway.In addition to the above, Bagsby can also be heard on Mellow's Canterbury tribute
CD.He also worked with Ron Jarzombek on the 2nd
Spastic Ink CD, Ink Complete.Kurt Rongey and
Bill Pohl on a piece based on Tolkein's work.Buy just about anything by him (at least anything
prior to Welcome Back ..."Tulsa" kick and
gets back to composing real music again.Bagsby's music is a nonstop sonic feast
constantly changing and surprising the listener.David achieves on this tape what Klaus Schulze is only
hinting at on his recent boxed set.Raga that could have only been played by a synthesized Ravi
Shankar.Then closing out the side is a Ralph Lundsten influenced piece
of cosmic jazz.Bagsby is amazing in the musical breadth of his
talent.Art Zoyd influenced music: "More Nightmares of Science" (7:30),
"Ephemeron 3" (6:12), "Ephemeron 4" (4:30), and "Automata" (8:50).The final piece is "Automata."Is there no aspect of
electronic or progressive music that stumps Bagsby?David has something for everyone.All you Hawkwind freaks probably remember Harvey as their keyboardist
from 1978 to 1991.The CD format is perfect for this music but here the
cassette features an additional 10 minutes of music.Rock Mass For Love (71), Memento (7?Prog, with psych touches on A Rock Mass....Progressive Ears, and you
will see it in slightly different forms on the CD Baby site and their
MySpace page among other places.As for the songs here, they are a slightly mixed lot in my opinion.All the songs here have moments
that really intrigued me, and most to the extent of me really liking them.When the band gets it right though, as they do in most of the songs, the music is really captivating.Fans of
krautrock and
fusion will perhaps
be the ones who will easiest be attracted to this release, but I suspect that this music may have a
much wider appeal as well.What does "odd" mean in the context
of progressive rock?Still, when I mentioned this to Rick Whitehurst, who plays
keys for the band, he promised, "The keyboards will make sense after a few listens".The songs sound like they're heavily improvised, against an obviously composed
underpinning.Guitar and drums form the rhythmic backbone over which piano and electric pianos
weave their "odd" melodies and Ann Bernath sings spacily.The Goddess Eris, as it turns out, is
one of my patron goddesses.Rick Whitehurst told me the
album is inspired by the recently discovered "dwarf" planet Eris.Got a little excited there.Let's get back on track here.Eris is a
pretty cool album and very interesting, particularly for a debut effort.In other words, they don't have much in
common with The Allan Holdsworth Band.This is the sound of one hand clapping ...All this you should imagine being phased
directly into your brain from a parallel dimension.This is very cool stuff.Balestracci claims "no programations" which I assume means everything is played rather than
sequenced.CD didn't reveal its charms to me.It took
a few listens before I started liking it, but now I think it's just amazing.Their album Ys is without a doubt one of the best progressive
albums to come out of the 70's Italian scene.Ys is a very beautifully dark sounding album.This album is very chaotic musically and but
not too hard to listen to IMO.The guitar and the drums sound
good.YS is a dark and intense jam that, in my opinion, blows away the
best King Crimson.Italian classic, their album YS.My exposure to Il Balletto di Bronzo includes a particularly boring live performance at
NEARFest
a few years back and the extraordinary 1972 recording YS.Although
this is going to sound really silly, this is an incredibly "cool" CD!Highly recommended on the
basis of its distinctiveness.This is an album where the most important instrument is the guitar and
the lyrics are reduced to the minimum.Banana is an Argentinian band whose sole release is a work of sometimes
very good, sometimes average progressive rock.Nektar, Focus, and Camel influences.Overall, this isn't a bad album, one many
of you would enjoy.Beware of some weaker moments, though.Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso (72)
Darwin!Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso and Darwin!Originally known as Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso they released two albums on
Manticore, Banco and As In A Last Supper.Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso,
Darwin!The latter is an English
version of their fourth Come In Un'Ultima Cena.Capolinea are rather poor, the latter including some
horrible horn parts.I've only listened to Darwin!Io Sono Nato Libero, and
both are outstanding.The only thing I've heard from them is their 1975 Banco.It's a
fairly decent piece of Italian progressive rock, certainly much more
energetic than their often too folksy labelmates PFM.Julio Iglesias would later
make famous, but other than that this is quite solid.Jazz influence to their sound.Their sound varies somewhat from album to album, but most feature excellent vocals
(in Italian) by Francesco "Mr.Capolinea which was their farewell live album, and sounds more
compromised.Banco remixed a few of their original albums
with English lyrics on ELP's Manticore label.Because of this, I recommend that you get the original Italian
albums, particularly Io Sono Nato Libero and Darwin!.These albums should delight any keyboard fan.Classical and Baroque periods as well as the 20th century
classical favored by Emerson.As indicated above, the lyrics are sung in
Italian.The vocalist is a powerful singer, not harsh to my ears,
dominating the sound when he does sing.Io Sono Nato Libero and Darwin!Their first three albums are supposed to be their best.It was enough to
mesmerize me into their sound.Two of the subsequent albums, Garofano
Rosso and ...Canto
Di Primavera which was nice, in line with their earlier works, yet not
quite on that level.Capolinea is supposed to really suck.It certainly
did for me.On the recommendation of a veteran progger, I ordered Io Sono Nato Libero.What hit
me initially is how strange this music sounds.The singer seems to want to turn the whole thing
into some tragic operetta, moaning and reciting his way through a much too pastoral landscape
of plinking tangerine dreamers.By the third listen I knew there was something
good going on here, and by the fifth, I was convinced Banco were one of the best
European progressive rock acts ever.Maybe someday I'll get to it for real.David Marshall
* Editor's comment: Strange how a guy from San Fransicso
calls an Italian band "foreign" while an English band isn't.Henry Cow
influenced, but with Maquizcoatl they moved to even remoter and steeper
slopes.Today they are another
Mexico's band which is not inclined to emulate Belgian Art Zero school, but
which managed to achieve astonishingly bleak atmosphere nevertheless.With tons
of unknown (to me) ethnic instruments, such as (here all in plural) teponaztlis,
huehuetles, sartales, etc.Sparse instrumentation in the begining of tracks often portends something
unpleasant, but in vain, because all of sudden, listener may find himself
amidst phantasmal chaos of bloodthirsty Mayan spectres.In
average instruments do not play intensely but unbelievable torrents
performed by acoustic, promptly spanish, guitar can be heard on "Inamic"."Zoquitepuztehuiani" even adds synthesizer and sequencer and
"Viaje Al Mictlan" synthesizer.Album fades out incredibly difficult,
and it is a real challenger.Booklet boasts with Mayan paintings and "icons",
painted with lurid colours (red predominates).These album are electronic music.Can I Play You Something?Original guitarist for 2 pretty good prog bands: Yes
and Flash.Icelandic keyboardist named Jakob Magnusson in the
early '80s.The other Peter Banks is a keyboard player.Original Yes guitarist who has to my knowledge
released three solo albums.Mabel Greer's Toyshop and Syn, bands
in which Peter participated before the formation of Yes.String Driven Thing, and
is generally recognized as his best.When I was 16 years old I saw a
concert of this talented band.LP Hora Nata with a photograph with very
strange costumes.It was recorded at the "Reward
Studio" in Belgium.EP on the Neutral label in the early '80s.First Love (75), Barbarella?Brazilian folky progressive band.Ok I guess, not worth that much
trouble.Concert For The People (82, Live)
Best of Vol.Alone we Fly (94, Compilation)
Another Arable Parable (??They are extremely popular in Germany and
to a lesser extent in Britain.The name of the label,
incidentally, is not derived from the name of the group.Prog rockers who incorporate the spirit of The Moody Blues and
bands such as Genesis into their material.Show evokes the spirit of their older material."Moonwater", is more like pure classical music than rock."For
No One" is another lush keyboard epic."Mill
Boys" and "Poor Boy Blues".Octoberon finds them at the height of
their popularity.It seems to be the apex of many of their acquired
tendencies over the years.John Lees' vocals and the overall tone of the piece remind me of
Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, but the sound reminds me more of
Atom Heart Mother.There's many more where that
came from, in fact, the band is still together!"Poor Man's Moody Blues."X11, and it is certainly similar to MB stuff from the early
80s.Bardens' first solo LP was The Answer It doesn't sound a thing like
Camel, and in fact isn't progressive at all, but rather excellent heavy
rock.Bardens early work don't impress me much.Francesco and Vanni
Bocuzzi.The Bocuzzis acquit themselves nicely on a variety of keyboards
although they stray into the schmaltz zone a bit too often for my tastes.For me, the main appeal of Baricentro's music
is the spectacular interplay of bassist Tonio Napoletano and drummer Piero
Mangini.Mangini is a truly excellent drummer whose approach is a devilish
blend of David Garibaldi's polyrythmic funk and Bill Bruford's precision
timekeeping.On Trusciant they are joined by percussionists Luis Agudo and Max
Rocci.Both records are
good, but not essential, unless you are a drummer.Italian band that plays in the fusion
style of the 70's.The music on Sconcerto is based on arrangements
of double keyboards, bass, drums and percussions.Several synthesizers are
featured, as well as electric piano (Rhodes) and Clavinet with its funky
touch.Note that brass are not used here, despite the very funky grooves the
music often takes.Deserves attention from fans of the style, especially
where the keyboard work is concerned.An excellent complement to your
Return to Forever discs.Their LP was very banal and bored.The best kept secret of 1994.Similar to Tortoise and Cul de
Sac, but more melodic.The vocals are very laid back, and the
instrumentation is as follows: piano, Hammond organ, bass, samples and
programming, trumpet, cello, viola, flute, vibes, drums, guitar (very
minimal), djembe and Melodica.King Crimson (such as "The
Sheltering Sky" and "Nuage").Bark Psychosis'
Hex is a '90s must buy.Brazilian artist who attempts to mix modern classical music
with popular music.There
is also a live version of the album, recorded in 1999, called A Saga de Clara
Crocodilo.Although the music is the same, it has new arrangements (with strings
included), and the names of the songs are changed, probably because of some kind of
recording rights.Sin Tiempo ni Espacio (??Syd was the original guitarist and mastermind behind Pink Floyd.Although most of the compositions were improvised, his unique
blend of modern classical, rock, and jazz sounds anything but random.Highly recommended to the adventurous.While this one defies
categorization, it can usually be located in the jazz section.From Italy, this six piece is fronted by two female vocalists.Build Your Own Planet: (??The beautifully
layered music is soothing and relaxing in a good way and never becomes bland.This sounds not
unlike Trevor Rabin's acoustic work with Yes
(Big Generator etc.Overall a worthwhile purchase for anyone
interested in the electronic rock scene.Basikova is the singing seductress of the Czechoslovakian prog band
Stromboli.Colin Bass Live At Polskie Radio 3 (99)
Colin Bass Live Vol.On his solo album An Outcast of the Islands (Kartini Music KART 2) he is backed not only by
Camel driver Andrew Latimer and the group's drummer at the
time, but also a host of Polish musicians from Abraxas and
Quidam, both bands with various amount of debt to the great humpbacked
beast.This is balanced by instrumental numbers like "Macassar" with its tempo and mood changes and a great melody
line developed alternatively by guitar and lead synth in the best Camel
style, or the soaring "No Way Back", full of great guitar melodies and nimble piano and
Hammond work.If you appreciate early Zappa, Henry Cow, the Fugs, or the
Bonzos, you really must check out this wonderful release!Whatever
happened to this guy?Regarding Voci:
Basso is a keyboardist whose music is typical of the
Italian symphonic rock tradition.Lots of keyboards and sounds effects for a
pair of records that complement one another.Not prog, or very little prog at best, but interesting.With Fisiognomica, Battiato started walking towards classical music, using
orchestra on some songs and composing a couple of operas.L'Imboscata and
Gommalacca are rockier than any of his previous works.The latest has a
shy return to prog and experimental, yet for a wide audience.This is the best progressive soloist in Italy and now is very popular.Good examples of use of weird, "folksy" instruments on only LP,
Suite.Blossom Toes in progressive mode.Art Rock band that featured guitarist extarordinaire Bill Nelson.Peter Hammill's solo
material.Bop Deluxe, Modern Music
or Sunburst Finish would probably be the best starting points.Futurama, and Sunburst Finish, which feature
plenty of excellent tunes and Nelson's trademark guitar pyrotechnics.I'd normally call progressive.IMHO pretty boring
overall, goes nowhere.Typical of early electronic music, definitely not prog, though of interest
for those who want to find the roots of synth music.Ragnarok Electronic Funk and In A Wild Sanctuary are all
Moog.For Gandharva, they try
interacting with other musicians, with mixed results.Lovely, atmospheric music with
lots of pipe organ, moog drones and Mulligan's pretty sax playing.I've heard only All Good Men.The few good songs aren't worth the effort it
takes to listen through the bad songs.In particular, the cuts "Another Part of Time", "And There Was Morning" and
"Salute to the Vanishing Bald Eagle" are excellent late proto.The Nonesuch Guide to Electronic Music was a strange release ...Moog
Synthesizer to aspiring musicians who had inadequate technical background to operate the
complex modular machines.In a Wild Sanctuary is said to be the first album ever to incorporate recordings of natural
and urban sounds into the compositions.He would eventually earn a doctorate in bioacoustics and create
a huge library of field recordings of animal habitats, which you can peruse on his web site
(link below).Bedford's writing is uncluttered, and he makes wonderful use of
all the varied instrumental textures available to him.The
Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a very different sort of release, with
Bedford handling all the instruments (keyboards, percussion, flutes,
violin, odd instruments) except guitar (Oldfield again).Again, Bedford plays all
instruments except guitar (Oldfield on two cuts, Andy Summers on one cut).Vocals, both choral and solo voices, are more prominent than on
Rime...Bedford makes extensive use of analog
synthesizers.Still, a very pleasant release which has some strikingly pleasant moments.Instructions for Angels is modern classical music, distinguished only by
its instrumentation which is mostly analog synthesizers, sometimes blended
with real orchestral instruments.Ursula Le Guin about some astronauts encountering
alien beings on the planet Rigel 9.The whole thing is presented almost
like a radio play, with the story told through the spoken dialogue running
through the album.The music is somewhat subservient, establishing and
enhancing the moods rather than leading.Quite enchanting an
album, really, though may be too thin musically to appeal to most prog
fans.LP and then disappeared
forever.Gordon Spiwak handles the drums, percussion and piano, and
Michael Garrison on electric guitar and bass.Get Your Dog Off Me (73)
Lifeline (??East of Eden, Cressida, Spring etc.Machine" and song lyrics like "People of the land, join together hand in
hand."Waters of Change and Pathfinder.Virginia Scott
to the band, and is probably their best.It sounds not unlike Cressida or
Jethro Tull, but unlike them, dripping Mellotron from every pore.The Jethro Tull
parallel holds here as well.Mellotron to the band, and adds Moog synth to boot.The bands first three albums
are readily available on CD, and each one is fairly different sounding than
the one preceeding it.Act One, the bands debut, is a hard rocking opus
that seems to pay homage to Deep Purple.Mach I or Mach II Deep
Purple.Tracks like "Raymonds Road" and "Poet and Peasant" contain guitar and
organ jams that are strikingly similar to what Blackmore and Lord were doing
at the time, while one of the CD's bonus tracks "Think" is more in the vien
of Iron Butterfly, with its dated, hippy style vocals and upfront organ.Overall Act One was a very strong release, but the band came up with
a new sound on Waters of Change.On Pathfinder, the band laid back on
the Mellotron and cranked up the volume again, similar to bands like
Cressida or Raw
Material.While there are some good songs here, such as "MacArthur's Park"
and "Madame Doubtfire", the album is not as compelling as the previous two
releases.Get Your Dog Off Me, reportedly returns to
the Mellotron heavy style of Waters of Change, but still remains
unreleased on CD.They run ahead of their
time: please note, Pictures ...Of course, Ars Longa Vita
Brevis (The Nice) appeared before, but
Act One is a masterpiece of prog without a doubt.Reissued on CD in 1997 by the German
Repertoire Records.Final Curtain contains last available tracks featuring three of the
members of the band from the earlier (read "great") years: Linnie
Patterson (voc), Gordon Sellar (bass, voc), Alan Park (keys).Some of
the tracks were recorded in 1980 and the remainder in the late 80's
when Linnie untimely died and Gordon took over on vocals.Tip: When you search for this band on the Net, enter both
"Beggar's Opera" and "Beggars Opera."Artificial Horizons was pressed and released by the Horizon label based in Sandy
Springs, Georgia.From what I can garner this is Mr.Behren's sole recorded work.Artificial Horizons on the whole seems like two complete works (side one and side
two) because the songs flow into each other in a manner that makes it difficult to
differentiate between individual songs, lending a wonderful sense of continuity to the
music.Thus Begnagrad can be perceived as RIO band of
the first generation.Accordion Tribe and has one solo album (see elsewhere).One can find it more accessible than
"usual" RIO stuff (H.Perhaps germanophonic listeners will know what I
am writing about).Thus poor peasantry ran
onto the castle (if their feudal lord let them in, else...Cut back to description of album: the
music on Tastare is HIM (highly intricate music) of illuminative nature.On the Konzert for a Broken Dance, originally entitled Begnagrad, things
changed a bit.RIO bands started and then slowly moved to more definite
(but still not that much definite) sound which Chris Cutler defined together
with H.Cow as a basic RIO sound, and actually all of them converged in it.Zero, Stormy Six, Begnagrad, etc."Cosa Nostra"), and again diverse
influences from jazz, rock, ethnic pop from various parts of late Yugoslavia
and beyond, hardcore, etc.The musicianship is widened with violin, and for this
occasion Mr.Pecnikar
besides clarinet ocarina and whistling.De Gleria (known from Nimal, too)
double and electric bass."Thelastnewone" ("Tazadnatanova") is
definitely predecessing Nimal in a way, showing similar fusion craziness and
tight playing.Well, I guess if you like (etc.You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol.Rise and Shine, is worthwhile.Listening to this man is
exhilarating.Good Italian fusion band that were on the Cramps label.Not on CD yet, but the LP is well
worth owing.Jerry Goodman of Mahavishnu
Orchestra and the Flock fame.Soph joined Taiqui Tomiie and Mitsutaka Kaki to reform the disbanded
Bellaphon.All instrumental band from Japan.Their music is as beautiful as it is
melodic.Some nice jams also mark this solid release.Japan's answer to Finch, They only had one album so far as I know
(Firefly), and it's not been released on CD yet.Supposedly the rarest Vertigo swirl album.I've seen this recommended to Triggering Myth fans, so perhaps Happy the
Man fans will enjoy?Gong reedman Dider
Malherbe.All of
Bensusan's records are sublime!This Japanese quintet features guitar, bass, saxes, keys and
drums.Excellent new music from
Japan.Gentle Giant, Djam
Karet...It wasn't the right time or place to give it a
fair listen.So, first impressions were
not so hot....National Health, and Earthworks but with more complexity than any
of those bands.The best moment on the album, in my opinion, is
about the last half of it.The sax solos for a while, all the while
building dynamically.The phrasing is brilliant here.Then towards the
end the blistering guitar solo takes off.Il Berlione is about as
textbook perfect as you can get in this area."Memories in the Rain") but in
certain places, it's just too much for me.Clearly a diversity of styles.Because of this, the music heard
on their first album is rather hard to put into words.Il Berlione moves across this
diversity of styles with rapid ease in a very fluid manner.Brain" (I'm sure something is lost in the translation but it sounds cool
as hell) yet he can be quiet and subdued when the music warrants.It is from him that most of the
King Crimson comparisons in this review are derived.Three of a Perfect Pair and would have vastly improved that
album.Idonuma's solos comes across as a fusionesque Phil Miller from National
Health.Japanese instruments, which when present give the song an extra
dimension, further enhancing the band's appeal.Il Berlione's very impressive first album but I do
hope it intrigues you enough to check it out.It will be well worth your
time.This Japanese group offers a very active instrumental music built around
the guitar, saxophone, keyboards, bass and drums.However, the distinct
characteristic of this music is its explosive energy and its very high
intensity.The tracks in Il Berlione are often based on rhythmic
patterns and commonly lead to guitar and sax improvisations that flirt
with dissonance.In
fact, the only rock elements present here could be the electricity and the
blistering guitar work.For In 453 Minutes
Infernal Cooking, these five Japanese guys are back with their guitar,
saxophone, keyboards, bass and drums.While the use of other instruments
has been reduced, the music retains its jazz influences where guitar and
sax improvisations are common.The band still shows a high level of energy
but the raging intensity now makes room for a bit more conventional
melodic work.Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, but later albums regular hard
rock.Dharana, with its sidelong
masterpiece.Most of the later stuff is quiet stuff that goes nowhere,
unless you're having trouble getting to sleep.This is not sentimental, vapid "new age"
noodling, and if you listen patiently, the music gently unfolds to yield
great rewards.He is from London, England and got
his start have being awarded some money after an accident.Jimi in skill, but something about is approach I find quite
lovable.Bevis Frond a
listen.This adds some diversity and a break from the
heaviness.To my knowledge, Amin Bhatia has recorded only one album, entitled The
Interstellar Suite.The album can best be described as symphonic
electronic progressive music.It has a very general sound to it, as the name
implies.It takes you through the various stages of space travel from the
perspective of some unknown, indeterminate Voyage Team.It starts off
with an overture, and then several various themes with varying degrees of
intensity and dramatics.It then finishes off with some diminutive of the
opening number.Lie down and turn off the lights during this
one.It doesn't seem to do this altogether well, but it is an absolutely
beautiful piece nonetheless.Other songs on the album are simply
