BENJAMIN CROFT
KEYBOARDIST AND COMPOSER I listened by chance a few days ago to a track from his second album and how it happens to me when I find it interesting, I went to find out everything about the artist and his path .... I learned a lot of information about Benjamin, a character that my intuition had interpreted well from the causal listening ... in the biography you will find all the news ... he mainly played jazz but later you discover that a jazz magazine JAZZWISE asks him to describe his preferences for the best 5 albums and here the surprise for me and for the magazine that expected 5 jazz albums is triggered and Benjamin declares instead: "Can't live without 1) Close To The Edge ..YES 2) Romantic Warrior ..RETURN TO FOREVER 3) Heavy Weather..WEATHER REPORT 4) UK ..UK 5) Hounds Of Love..KATE BUSH " From JAZZWISE MAGAZINE and also claims to hear and own many prog music albums in the photo some of his own "FAR AND DISTANT THINGS" is an excellent album very different from the first much more linked to Jazz, in this second album it explores new sounds, a cross between fusion and jazzrock played with great skill, helped in this realization by as many great artists .... In the album resist some tracks more attributable to jazz similar to those of the first album but given the good result of this new direction I am convinced that the next album will be even better and I do not shield that the surprises are over on the other hand the mix of preferences with YES and UK on the one hand and Joe Zawinul Jaco Pastorius Chick Korea Stanley Clarke on the other will surely influence the production of the next album… …. "The_Cashectomy" is the track I chose to include in my best of 2021 But as I said before, the whole album deserves attention.

Known for his extensive knowledge and experience in a multitude of music genres, he is mostly associated with jazz. At the age of 7, he began piano and trumpet lessons, later going on to study at Leeds College of Music. After graduating, he completed several contracts on international cruise lines and moved to the US. During this period, he toured the world twice, and worked with artists as diverse as Belinda Carlisle, Leslie Garrett, The Temptations and The Platters. Benjamin relocated to London in 2012, where he became a regular performer at Ronnie Scott’s, the Jazz Cafe, Dean St and The Pheasantry Pizza Express Jazz Clubs, The Vortex, among others, playing with the finest musicians on the scene. He has also performed in the West End Show ’ Straight From the Heart’, and on TV shows such as ‘The Voice’ and ‘Britain’s Got Talent’. In 2018, he recorded for Beautiful South founder Dave Hemingway’s latest project ’Sunbirds', and has been working as a session musician, composer and arranger on several projects over the years. In March 2019, Benjamin released his first album ‘10 Reasons To...’ on 33Jazz Records. 12 original compositions reflecting his unique style and sound ; an audacious crossover between genres that seduced the press, and the public. His second album, "Far and Distant Things", was recorded throughout 2020. An ambitious project featuring legendary musicians from the US and more. It will be released on Ubuntu Music on August, 6th 2021. "FAR AND DISTANT THINGS" by BENJAMIN CROFT About the album: March 2018. The production of my first album had recently concluded and I was keen to keep the momentum going and keep writing. I decided that this new project would have no compromises. I would try to improve and expand on all aspects of my previous album. I initially contacted a selection of my favourite musicians in the UK to play on the tracks; Andy Davies (trumpet), Gareth Lockrane (flute), Henry Thomas and Flo Moore (bass), Tristan Mailliot and Laurie Lowe (drums). Helen Vollam, principal trombone of the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Carter Arrington (guitar) were also added to the roster around this period. The writing process continued and I envisioned the UK musicians augmented by a US guest star, or two… In the fall of 2019, I sent out messages to several legendary artists and lifelong inspirations. To my surprise, all showed interest. I now had an all star line-up! Randy Brecker, Allen Vizzutti (trumpet), Frank Gambale, Barry Finnerty, Mike Miller (guitar), and Chad Wackerman (drums). Back in 2019, we had no idea what was just around the corner... The majority of the guest stars had tour schedules that lasted for the remainder of 2020. At the time, I was led to believe I only had a window of the first two weeks of January to record them. The compositions were recorded in London at Metropolis, Greystoke and The Church Studios. The studios were selected for their vast tracking space and unique selection of equipment. A huge arsenal of keyboards was used on this album. Among them, the Yamaha CS-80, Minimoog, Prophet 5 and Freddie Mercury's Fazioli grand piano! Eight of the compositions were tracked between January and early March. Then, disaster struck… March 24th 2020 was a day I will never forget… The 24th just happens to be my birthday. It also just happened to be the day I was scheduled to record my final three pieces. Sadly this was not meant to be. The UK entered national lockdown and everything was cancelled… My time off was used wisely to refine the compositions and by late summer, we were allowed back in the studio. Tracking was completed at RAK studios in London. At the start of this project, I only had one person in mind to mix the tracks; Stephen W Tayler. His work can be heard on many albums that inspired my compositions. The album was mixed at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios. Production eventually wrapped up in early 2021. Barry Grint, whose previous clients include the likes of David Bowie, Madonna and Prince, mastered the tracks at Air Studios. The unique artwork for the album is provided by Juno Award Winner Hugh Syme. His works are firmly planted in the public conscience. He has designed for Rush, Dream Theater, Whitesnake and many others. I am immensely proud of this album. A true portrait of my musical mind. My love of jazz, rock and classical are all captured. The eleven compositions on this album represent my childhood dreams and fantasies. Utopian and dystopian, heroes and villains, all depicted. Concepts I regarded as far and distant things… Out on August 6th 2021 on Ubuntu Music Last edited by nicola : 10-29-2021 at 05:49 PM.

Re: 2021 Work in Progress..ive
Isildurs Bane & Peter Hammill
This time the track I chose belongs to a fusion of a group Isildurs Bane and Peter Hammill 2 totally different ways of interpreting music but following their meeting they managed to create a very captivating and sometimes hypnotic sound from art pop and prog to neoclassical and avant-garde all held together by one of the most singular and influential voices of the prog music… Peter Hammill… always open to experimentation and returned to the high levels reached in the first Van Der Graff Generator albums…. "Pawn Hearts", "Still Life" and "Godbluff" albums After the first experience resulted in the realization of the excellent "in Amazonia" Isildurs Bane and Peter Hammill continue the collaboration by making an equally interesting album "IN DISEQUILIBRIUM" made in 2 suites, one of 3 tracks and the other of 4 tracks I took an excerpt from the album review from Isildurs Bane's facebook page and is edited by From Zachary Nathanson's review __________________________________________________ ______ This is another challenge from the ensemble. It is one of the most surreal, wackiest, and insane releases I’ve listened to. There’s this crossover between ambient music, Frank Zappa, elements of the Rock in Opposition movement that blends well with the insane textures of both Gentle Giant and Goblin. And to be allowed to have King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto to lend a helping hand with the ensemble, it shows that Isildurs Bane are more than just a band, but a family helping others to bring In Disequilibrium to life. The challenges inside the group’s labyrinth, just got even bigger! From the opening 3-part title-track, it is like a movie being brought to life. You can hear elements of ‘The Sleepwalkers’ thrown in along with the xylophones channeling the midsection of ‘Peaches En Regalia’ from the Hot Rats period. Mats Johansson is like a conductor giving his bandmates and Peter directions on where he wants them to go. He has given each of the members, a lot of machine gun ammunitions to create these rapid firing textures. I can hear both Hällkvist and Croné doing these chase segments for Hammill to catch up to those insane time signatures to create this alternate score for Robert Clampett’s Bugs Bunny short from 1943, Falling Hare. Then, Johansson and Katrine Amsler share this futuristic temperature rising for Hammill’s voice to come in at the right moment. It’s one of those crazy and wackiest sequences that visions the ensemble and Hammill transforming the second half into a chaotic groove! The third and final section of the title-track takes us into the heart of the jungle channeling Peter Gabriel’s score to Martin Scorsese’s controversial classic,The Last Temptation of Christ. It gives us a sign for revelations to come where we witness a renewal to start new chapter in our daily lives. But it isn’t just that, it’s a new beginning for them to press the rewind button and start all over. Peter lets listeners know that there’s light at the end of the tunnel. And the big bright lights on the arrangements gives the ensemble enough rope to reach towards the surface and seeing the sunlight again. The four-part suite ‘Gently (Step by Step) closes the album. It becomes a calm after the storm with its piano, synthesizers, and xylophone setting up the empty ghost town of the dystopian wasteland that people are finally getting out of. You can almost feel a pin drop as the ghost-like vocals fill the city with Eagles soaring through the sky moving away from the nightmarish landscapes into a field of dreams. You can hear aspects of Peter’s solo work from The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage thrown into the mix. The symphonic structures along with its mournful organ work, Luca Calabrese’s trumpet echoes the funeral arrangements while Liesbeth’s violin sends the last rite to the city that once was beautiful, now a pile of rubble. Once you get to the third section, it becomes this epic ambient voyage that carries bits and pieces of Popol Vuh’s Aguirre as the survivors are sailing into unknown lands. Peter then gives a sermon to the fallen heroes inside his church as the musicians help churchgoers bring joy and happiness in their lives. They also have to understand that while they’ll never forget what has happened, it will be a part of their history that we will the next generation in the years to come, not to make the same mistakes again and again. In Disequilibrium is another welcoming return for the collaboration of Isildurs Bane’s partnership with Peter Hammill. As I’ve mentioned earlier, it is beautiful, sinister, epic, and unexpected changes that will make your mind blown away. Yes it may not be everyone’s cup of coffee per se, but it is like a stick of dynamite ready to explode at any second. __________________________________________________ _____________ Hi friends 2021 Work in Progress..ive These are my best tracks of 2021 Track Title-Group or Artist-Album The Pilgrim Suite -Andrew Stone-The Pilgrim Discworld - Projector - Glass Kites -Glass Kites II The Trial of the King - Chromatic Aberration -The Trial of the King 4Th Dimension - ProAge-Wymiar Claustrophobia-Eyesberg-Claustrophobia Rainy Sunday-Maxxess-Reactivate Colorbox-Raven Sad-The Leaf And The Wing Bit By Bit-Syrinx Call-Mirrorneuron Power Trip Career Aspirations-Lucas Lee -Sindrome De Estocolmo The Darkness in the Light-Transatlantic-The Absolute Universe: Forevermore Soul_Of_Hundred_Lives-Inner Prospekt-Canvas Two Flare_2-Richard_Barbieri-Under a Spell Cosmic Krautrock-Stephan Thelen-Fractal Guitar 2 Rite_Of_Accession-Elephant9-Arrival Of The New Elders In Discipline And With Love-Kerrs Pink-Presence Of Life Marcha_De_Sonidos_Parte_2-Black Expression-Regreso A Casa Crossing-Cast-Vigesimus Alice_Krige_Parts_1_and_2-Heard Of Istinct-Unravel Altitude-Lifesigns-Altitude In_1985-Cosmograf-Rattrapante Sailing_To_Byzantium-Nad Sylvan-Spiritus Mundi Halo_Drive-Corrado Rustici -Interfulgent Tiresias-Noisy Diners-The Princess of the Allen Key Alice-The Mad Lab-Design of Experiments The Real History Of Tom Wheel, Pt. 1 (The Curse) -Fabricio Pipini(feat.Platinum)-Phantasicah (A Dreamer's Tale) Walk_Away-Bernardo Lanzetti-Horizontal Rain Broken Windows-Zygon-Earth And Sky The Ascent-The Emerald Down-To Touch The Sky Connecting_The_Dots-Confusion Field -Disconnection Complete Day_And_Age-Frost* -Day And Age Haunted_House-Joe_Bailey -Ghosts Winter-Resistor -The 5th Season Book Of Coming Forth By Day-Blacksmith Tales-The Dark Presence Iron John-The Samurai Of Prog -The Lady And The Lion And Other Grimm Tales Go Viral-Sylvan-One to Zero Room 101-Karmamoi-Room 101 Hidden Land-Daniel Eliseev Project -Lost Humanity Apollo-Big Big Train - Common Ground Dissolution-Smalltape -THE HUNGRY HEART Dark World-Metamorphosis-I'm Not A Hero White Ghosts-Alessandro Corvaglia-Out Of The Gate Beyond the Years-The Neal Morse Band -Innocence & Danger Shanghai_to_Samarkand-Steve Hackett -Surrender Of Silence The_Cashectomy-Benjamin Croft -Far And Distant Things Red-The Watch-The Art of Bleeding Added In Disequilibrium, part 3-Isildurs Bane & Peter Hammill-In Disequilibrium from http://www.progarchives.com/ .... here the youtube version of the track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhGsACQ4nvk GOOD LISTENING Last edited by nicola : 11-24-2021 at 09:15 AM.

MONARCH TRAIL
Third Album and Third Center for Monarch Trail and "Wither Down" not only continues the sequence of albums in a positive way but also raises the level of Track Quality to the point that it becomes difficult to choose one as the best ... in the previous 2 albums some less interesting track was here Ken Baird who continues to be the composer of all songs cancels the decrease in attention and creates an excellent album ... exceptional use of the piano in the opening song which then also gives the title of the album ... among those who have commented on the album more than someone has seen in the music of this album references to the first IQs…. and others a fusion of the styles of Genesis and Yes… .. I just want to thank the Monarch Trail for giving us some more excellent music.

Re: 2021 Work in Progress..ive
AMAROK
Amarok is back with a new album! Michał and Marta Wojtas are joined by their old friends – Kornel Popławski and Konrad Zieliński. The result of this collaboration is the album “Hero” – a spiritual sequel to the 2017 “Hunt”. Much like the aforementioned „Hunt”, the upcoming album presents a fusion of musical styles known and loved by fans and critics alike. Here the sounds of progressive rock folk and ambient mix together, complemented by a wonderful and subtle guitar virtuosity. The soundscape feels exotic, thanks to the use of uncommon instruments such as violin, theremin, wind gong, djembe, harmonium, flute, and rainsticks. The pieces have a strong lyrical layer, with their vocals referencing the ongoing digitalization of our life and the unsure position of a human in the future world. There are also beautiful instrumental fragments reminiscent of film scores similar in style to the depictions from the War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. Hero is a story of a protagonist, fighting for survival, going up against reality and themselves. It’s about everyone courageously facing the unknown. The lyrics based on this idea, also touch on the current pandemic and the state of the world. The upcoming album „Hero” is a collection of innovative, fresh, and spatial compositions with just as good lyrical parts, that inquires into our current questions about the future.

Re: 2021 Work in Progress..ive
DREAM THEATER
I live permanently in my ProgLand, I feel great and sometimes I like to make some visits to the border where I always find Dream Theater very happy or go to more distant lands such as electronic music or go to the territory of great jazzrock-fusion instrumentalists. ... today I chose to breathe the sound of this band that is classified as progressive metal but in many songs definitely metal but always very far from the metal of only noise of many groups ... The Dream Theater were born in 1985 from the meeting of JOHN PETRUCCI , JOHN MYUNG and MIKE PORTNOY who attended the same prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston Taking into account only the current components in 1991 he joins the group JAMES LABRIE who responds to an announcement from the DT who were looking for a singer and finds himself in a club with 200 other aspirants and wins the challenge that has consecrated him a decisive component of the group's success, very generous in performances live just to make comparisons with the due differences what Robert Plant and Ian Gillan were for Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple in 1999 he joined the group JORDAN RUDESS which certainly contributes to adding a more prog and less metal sound and this thanks to his admission of being influenced by artists such as Keith Emerson, Tony Banks, Rick Wakeman and Patrick Moraz and having among the his favorite bands Gentle Giant, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, Jimi Hendrix, Autechre, and Aphex Twin ... also very interested in any new devilry applicable to his keyboards in order to always generate new sounds. 2 Videos to learn more about the thousand facets of Jordan Rudess a guarantee why the sound of the DT does not turn towards only metal sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCimXv5LzcY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp9Ie9IvPTU in 2011 MIKE MANGINI last joined the band to replace Mike Portnoy's exit it's been 10 years now that the line-up hasn't changed and not only do I think it's the best ... but I also hope this remains returning to MIKE MANGINI I think JAMES LABRIE suggested his entry, who had him in his 3 albums only but apart from this possible recommendation, the biography of this drummer speaks of a child who at the age of 2 and a half was already having fun with a drums and at 9 he trained from 2 to 4 hours a day and then joined the DT with a 360 degree drum set, seeing him live in his percussion cage is a show. I am pleased to read many positive comments that recognize its value in the following video in which MIKE is training to face the World Tour and he does it with a reduced battery in the same configuration as the recording of the album but uses the base of the excellent ALIEN sent at a speed of 10% higher than the original this to find everything easier in live performances https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFx19PMxGTc And here we are finally at this umpteenth Dream Theater album with 2 excellent tracks inside, the first opens the album .. "Alien" and the last "A View from the Top of the World" both very suitable to open their next show on the world tour that are about to start in February 2022 ... both tracks have a long instrumental introduction with a strong impact that when it returns to the initial chorus opens the scene at the entrance of LaBrie ... we will see which song they choose to open the concert Taking a step back I like to insert the genesis of this album as told by the DT themselves From their Official Site __________________________________________________ ____________ Dream Theater – comprised of James LaBrie, John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung and Mike Mangini - was in the middle of a sold-out world tour in support of their last release Distance Over Time and the 20th anniversary of Scenes From A Memory when a Global Pandemic brought the world to a stop. The musicians found themselves at home with LaBrie in Canada and the rest of the group in the States. As fate would have it, they’d just finished construction on DTHQ (Dream Theater Headquarters) —a combination live recording studio, rehearsal space, control room, equipment storage, and creative hive. With LaBrie in Canada, he initially wrote with the band via ZOOM on a monitor in DTHQ. In March 2021, he flew down to New York, quarantined, and recorded his vocals face-to-face with Petrucci. The album ultimately threaded together lean and uncompromising hooks with tried-and-true technical proficiency. “We just love to play our instruments,” observes Petrucci. “That never goes away. I love to be creative, write, and exercise that part of my mind. We’ve been able to do this for a long time, and we don’t take it for granted. Whenever we get together, we know we can’t disappoint ourselves or our fans, so we manage to try even harder.” “We approach every album like it’s our first,” adds LaBrie. “It’s been such a great ride, but we’re not going to stop.” __________________________________________________ ____________ I have chosen for my best tracks of 2021 "A View from the Top of the World" a suite consisting of 3 parts i. The Crowning Glory ii. Rapture of the Deep iii. The Driving Force which takes place with many variations of rhythm for a duration of over 20 minutes…. The long tracks of the DT are the ones that I like the most and are those in which they manage to enhance the qualities of all the members of the group and where it is also easier to identify them as a progressive metal band.

SPHERICAL AGENDA
Spherical Agenda hails from Cincinnati, OH, and features some of the best prog players in the Midwest .... Bassist Matt Wiles, drummer Devon Leigh, keyboardist Ben Tweedt and guitarist Brandon Coleman create a sound that blends progressive rock, jazz and fusion. ARCANE WISDOM, the band's entire debut album, is an eclectic assortment of compositions with diverse musical influences. The album deals with jazz-rock in its various facets while always keeping the level of music high, an entire instrumental album ... demonstrating a richness that means that on the first album they did not do anything wrong and certainly a group not to be underestimated anything. and certainly that it could certainly give us other albums of the same level but also certainly superior to this one ... difficult to find the best song, I have identified 3 songs, I have a preference on "GUTS" but the doubt on other 2 "STEAK JAZZ" and "COLEMAN'S QUESTION" the other songs are also very respectable and without a doubt those who love jazzrock will have a new group to follow Hi friends 2021 Work in Progress..ive These are my best tracks of 2021 Track Title-Group or Artist-Album The Pilgrim Suite -Andrew Stone-The Pilgrim Discworld - Projector - Glass Kites -Glass Kites II The Trial of the King - Chromatic Aberration -The Trial of the King 4Th Dimension - ProAge-Wymiar Claustrophobia-Eyesberg-Claustrophobia Rainy Sunday-Maxxess-Reactivate Colorbox-Raven Sad-The Leaf And The Wing Bit By Bit-Syrinx Call-Mirrorneuron Power Trip Career Aspirations-Lucas Lee -Sindrome De Estocolmo The Darkness in the Light-Transatlantic-The Absolute Universe: Forevermore Soul_Of_Hundred_Lives-Inner Prospekt-Canvas Two Flare_2-Richard_Barbieri-Under a Spell Cosmic Krautrock-Stephan Thelen-Fractal Guitar 2 Rite_Of_Accession-Elephant9-Arrival Of The New Elders In Discipline And With Love-Kerrs Pink-Presence Of Life Marcha_De_Sonidos_Parte_2-Black Expression-Regreso A Casa Crossing-Cast-Vigesimus Alice_Krige_Parts_1_and_2-Heard Of Istinct-Unravel Altitude-Lifesigns-Altitude In_1985-Cosmograf-Rattrapante Sailing_To_Byzantium-Nad Sylvan-Spiritus Mundi Halo_Drive-Corrado Rustici -Interfulgent Tiresias-Noisy Diners-The Princess of the Allen Key Alice-The Mad Lab-Design of Experiments The Real History Of Tom Wheel, Pt. 1 (The Curse) -Fabricio Pipini(feat.Platinum)-Phantasicah (A Dreamer's Tale) Walk_Away-Bernardo Lanzetti-Horizontal Rain Broken Windows-Zygon-Earth And Sky The Ascent-The Emerald Down-To Touch The Sky Connecting_The_Dots-Confusion Field -Disconnection Complete Day_And_Age-Frost* -Day And Age Haunted_House-Joe_Bailey -Ghosts Winter-Resistor -The 5th Season Book Of Coming Forth By Day-Blacksmith Tales-The Dark Presence Iron John-The Samurai Of Prog -The Lady And The Lion And Other Grimm Tales Go Viral-Sylvan-One to Zero Room 101-Karmamoi-Room 101 Hidden Land-Daniel Eliseev Project -Lost Humanity Apollo-Big Big Train - Common Ground Dissolution-Smalltape -THE HUNGRY HEART Dark World-Metamorphosis-I'm Not A Hero White Ghosts-Alessandro Corvaglia-Out Of The Gate Beyond the Years-The Neal Morse Band -Innocence & Danger Shanghai_to_Samarkand-Steve Hackett -Surrender Of Silence The_Cashectomy-Benjamin Croft -Far And Distant Things Red-The Watch-The Art of Bleeding In Disequilibrium, part 3-Isildurs Bane & Peter Hammill-In Disequilibrium Megalopolitana-Monarch Trail -Wither Down Hero-Amarok-Hero A View From The Top Of The World-Dream Theater- A View From The Top Of The World Invisible Killer-Andrew Roussak- Crossing the Line Added Guts-Spherical Agenda-Arcane Wisdom Guts-Spherical Agenda https://sphericalagenda.bandcamp.com/track/guts-2 .... the doubt in the choice with: Coleman's Question-Spherical Agenda https://sphericalagenda.bandcamp.com...edo-reyes-jr-2 Steak Jazz-Spherical Agenda https://sphericalagenda.bandcamp.com...fredo-reyes-jr GOOD LISTENING .....and finally the video of the long live version of the excellent "Steak Jazz" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2SDmjA8WhI Last edited by nicola : 01-10-2022 at 07:17 PM.

Re: 2021 Work in Progress..ive
DRIFTING SUN
DRIFTING SUN - FORSAKEN INNOCENCE A Good Neo Prog Album featuring IQ bassist JOHN JOWITT The Track I chose is: Forsaken Innocence (Part 1) follows the Biography and a series of comments on the Group and the Album From Progarchives.com Drifting Sun biography Founded in Chesham, UK circa 1994 - Hiatus between 1999-2013 - Reformed in 2014 DRIFTING SUN were formed sometime during early-90's (originally named Drama), after French natives Pat Sanders (keyboards) and Manu Sibona (bass) left their homecountry and landed in the UK. There they met American singer Rafe Pomeroy and four pieces were recorded in a London-based studio, then sent to Musea for evaluation. The French label decided to sign the band on their branch-label Brennus and in 1996 the self-titled debut of the band sees the light with Karl Groom participating on one track. Drifting Sun decided to move on as an independent group, the line-up was expanded with the addition of Tobin Bryant and Bryant's friend, guitarist John Spearman, while Pomerey was replaced by another American vocalist, Chris Martini.By the end of the year 1998 the band had launched the sophomore effort "On the Rebound". What followed was a very long break, but recently Sanders gave his band another chance, gathering a new line-up with singer Peter Falconer, drummer Will Jones and bassist/guitarist Dan Storey. The third work of DRIFTING SUN "Trip the Life Fantastic" was released in early 2015, a digital album, available via several online digital stores. __________________________________________________ ___________ More adventurous and daring than anything Arena, IQ or Pendragon have done. Most like Magenta at its finest feisty moments. (Progarchives) One of the best albums of 2021 so far and in my opinion their best to date (Progarchives) Let's hope that this collaboration will continue, because the first outcome of it is simply wonderful! (Progarchives) Together with this current line-up, I am sure this will wind up at the very top of 2021's lists for most, if not all, prog aficionados out there. It is THAT good! (Progarchives) An excellent album for any prog lover to test out for themselves. (Progarchives) There are a number of very good Prog bands around at the moment but I have to say that Drifting Sun are making music that works on just about every level and of all I’ve heard this year ‘Forsaken Innocence’ is definitely the best of them. (music-news/UK) “Forsaken Innocence” is a merciless piece of art. (Progenrock/The Netherlands) If you don’t know Drifting Sun yet, it’s time to open the door to he magic with “Forsaken Innocence”, their latest masterpiece. (Rock at Night/USA) L'album de la consécration ultime, l'avenir nous le dira? Indispensable à mes yeux et à mes oreilles. (Profil Prog/Canada) When a new studio work by DRIFTING SUN is released, nothing more than a masterpiece can be expected... in response to the immense advance praise, DRIFTING SUN present a 70-minute mammoth work. (Saitenkult/Germany) This is a giant of an album. (Background/The Netherlands) Cet album est bien sûr destiné à tous les progueux comme à tous les amateurs de belle musique où mélodie et technique font bon ménage. (Music in Belgium/Belgium) Overall Drifting Sun has created a very nice neo-progressive album, with great instrumental parts and a vocalist showing his best side. (Prog Space/USA) This album is as zesty a piece of neo-prog as you are likely to find. It is a monumental statement for Drifting Sun. The Spirit of Progressive Rock/UK) Drifting Sun nous balance, sans en avoir l’air, un grand album, peut-être même le meilleur de leur discographie, avec une production soignée et un sens de la composition qui fait mouche à tous les coups. « Forsaken Innocence » hisse le groupe au niveau des formations clés du paysage progressif! (ProgCritique/France) A massive progressive tour-de-force. (musicarockprogresivo/Spain) The whole band is in awesome form and the performances have a character of their own, without however overshadowing the compositions. (Progrocks/Greece) This new album is truly the pinnacle of their work so far. It’s an engaging, captivating and sensational listen every time you press play and is deservedly up there fighting for the honours of album of the year. (Progradar/UK) The strongest “Drifting Sun‘ album to date. When it comes to dynamic-melodic prog, they are pretty much the measure of all things at the moment. (Empire/Germany) Without a doubt “Forsaken Innocence” is the best album in their oeuvre. And perhaps, time will tell, a neoprog icon. (ProgWereld/The Netherlands) Beautiful compositions, warm atmospheres and exquisite chamber rock touches help to compose an aesthetically perfect album. (rocking/Greece) Drifting Sun parmi les grands, cette fois, j’en fais le pari! (Prog Censor/France) It just made it on my top-10-album-of-the-year-2021-list (despite fierce competition). (DPRP/The Netherlands) Forsaken Innocence is without a doubt the best Drifting Sun has ever made and is bursting with beautiful songs with everything a lover of well-made, well-played and well-sung prog rock could wish for. (Eriks Progtracks/The Netherlands) Forsaken Innocence sort Drifting Sun de l'ornière 'néo' où il a été confiné jusqu'ici. Sa musique est désormais plus grandiose, plus travaillée et plus diverse.

Re: 2021 Work in Progress..ive
CLIVE NOLAN
"Song of the Wildlands" an album by Clive Nolan one of the most famous keyboard players ex Pendagron ex Arena and many other groups, he collaborated on some albums with Oliver Wakeman son of Rick Wakeman and perhaps this frequentation led him to write "Song of the Wildlands" a rock work that must be listened to from beginning to end just to understand the style is that of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" by Rick Wakeman .... the atmospheres of the story translated into music are very beautiful ... the sung parts. ... many artists have collaborated ... and the choirs formed by 200 people are also very beautiful. I will not extract a track from this album for my 2021 show precisely because it must be taken as a single track to be listened to all at once from start to finish and for this reason I recommend listening to this excellent album to those who like the genre.
