    Alrock news

    Found this news item in the Altrock shop:

    Some of our most known artists are coming back and new exciting entries will be added to our roster.
    Here we go…the next releases are:
    Tornano alcuni tra i nomi più noti e riconosciuti di AltrOck / Fading assieme a nuove realtà che impreziosiranno il nostro roster.
    Allacciate le cinture… ecco le nostre prossime uscite:Alco Frisbass
    Breznev fun club “Il misantropo felice”
    Ciccada – “The finest of miracles”
    Homunculus Res – New album
    La Coscienza di Zeno – “La notte anche di giorno”
    Not a Good Sign – New album
    Simon Steensland – “A Farewell to Brains”
    The Blue Ship “Executioner’s lover”
    Yugen – New album


    I will certainly pick up the new Yugen, Not a good sign, Homunculus Res, Simon Steensland and Ciccada. The Blue Ship album is already available in the shop and looks very promising indeed.

    I blame Wynton, what was the question?

    I'm not very big on the Breznev F.C. (although they are intriguing), other than that I'm looking forward to all of these. Yugen on a particular note.

    The last Breznev FC release did very little for me either, I'd have to hear it first, it looks like most Altrock releases go up on progstreaming so I'll check it out there.

    This time around I'll wait for samples in the case of Yugen - "Iridule" was so highly praised everywhere that I bought it blind, and, although it's got many elements that I usually look for in the music I like, on the whole I never warmed up to it.

    On the other hand, new Homunculus Res is an autobuy, and I'm pretty sure I'll end up getting the new Ciccada album as well.

    Hmm.. so I am the only one having "Breznev Fun Club" on the top of my list.

    Alco Frisbass - I have a weak spot for French Prog and liked the xamples, so i might get it
    Ciccada – One Ciccada album is enough for me...
    Homunculus Res – liked the first so will check it out
    La Coscienza di Zeno – loved the first but I find the second to be rather boring, so I'm waiting for a stream
    Not a Good Sign – Not actually the style I look for by italian bands...
    Simon Steensland – He somehow escaped me till now so I might start here
    The Blue Ship - listened to it on bandcamp, good stuff...
    Yugen – Need to check, loved the first the next ones not so much

    Yugen, Simon Steensland, Homunculus Res, will all be purchased, and I'll be interested to hear the Ciccada album.
    Please don't ask questions, just use google.

    Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.

    About Ciccada: although I am more into avant-prog I really liked their last album. It is one of my favourite retro albums of recent years so I am curious what they will come up with next. At the same time I fear it will be hard to improve on. We will see.

    Count me in as a recent fan of this spectacular band, but boy they are difficult to find in hardcopy format. Any sources on your side of the pond?
