Never heard of this band before but they have a great name; Caravaggio was a brilliant baroque painter who had bipolar disorder. Here's a link to his most famous painting, The Calling of Saint...

I just saw this on Magma's web site:

It wouldn't be economically feasible for me to go to this show (and Vegas is a million...
With most albums in which one side is an epic track and the other side consists of a bunch of shorter tracks, I almost always stick with the epic side.
I've only had time to listen to Heaven & Beyond twice but thus far I concur with the consensus that it's their weakest album.
I only vaguely recall their NEARFest set but I saw Knight Area at the...
I saw Steve Hackett on Friday night in Reading, PA. Absolutely phenomenal show, with the exception of the idiots around me who were on their phones the entire time. I saw Hackett twice before at...
I'm kind of annoyed at how they've handled the announcements on on-sale dates related related to this tour. The Rochester show is apparently part of a jazz festival, I didn't find out about it until...
Thanks for the info. I think The Machine Stops is the best Hawkwind album since 1992's Electric Tepee so I'm psyched to see if Brock and company can continue the positive momentum.
I'm a relatively young progressive music fan (40) and I still discover great stuff from the 70's quite frequently. I pretty much exhausted the symphonic stuff a while ago but now I'm getting into...
I once saw a Jethro Tull bootleg called A Slice of Flutecake.
Just ordered my copy and threw in an Art Bears CD I don't have yet.
I'm working on a novel about an astronaut in an alien mental institution and I've been listening to Art Zoyd as an inspiration...
Got the DVD on Saturday and haven't had a chance to watch the concert yet (because I didn't want to drive my girlfriend nuts), but I watched Disc 2 with Christian Vander being interviewed by a guy...
I rarely post on PE but the dissolution of physical music products is an important issue that progressive fans need to consider.
I'm a college teacher and a psychotherapist who works with college...
A perfect way to describe The Astonishing. I saw the show in April and kind of wish I skipped it because I was bored out of my mind. I decided to go to the show despite not liking the CDs because I...
Saw Knight Area there a few years ago and I loved the Sellersville Theater. Wish I could make the Brand X show but it's too long of a drive for me in the dead of winter.
I live in a rural area that's far from most concerts so I missed the Anderson-Ponty shows, unfortunately, and hadn't seen Jon perform in many years. I had to drive 3.5 hours to see the ARW show on...
I'm surprised nobody has discussed/reviewed last night's Keswick show in Philly yet. I was there with my girlfriend to celebrate my 40th birthday, and here are some thoughts about the show:
-I...
Here's my 2 cents as I saw Dream Theater on the Astonishing tour back in April.
I used to be a die hard Dream Theater fan and I've seen them in concert close to 50 times, but to me they started...
Posts like this are a major reason why I rarely participate on PE anymore.
I have this Led Zeppelin box set and the worst thing about it is the awful, incredibly pretentious article by Kurt Loder in the booklet.
I went to all but the first two NEARFests and I only live about 90 minutes from Gettysburg. Since it's close I usually go to ROSFest for one day just to hit the vendor room and see one or two bands...
I like Musique Noise, although they're not one of my favorites. Pretty amazing album for 1988.
I went to all but the first two and had a ticket for the aborted New Trolls/Umphrey's McGee year. So many great memories. My favorites were 2003 and 2007 but I greatly enjoyed every one. It was an...
Agitation Free is one of my favorite bands of all time. I agree with what others said though in that I strongly prefer their live material, especially At the Cliffs of the River Rhine and Last....
I'm bummed about One Shot splitting up as they were one of my favorite contemporary bands - I'll have to pick up Elephant Tok.
I have Fanfare du Chaos on CD and it's excellent.
I like how people are separating studio and live recordings so I'll do the same.
Studio:
1. Kohntarkosz
1a. MDK (I liked MDK a little more for the longest time, but now that I'm a little older...
The "excluding festivals" caveat makes most of mine not apply since most of the official releases I've been to have been NEARFest or ROSFest.
Thus, the only show in its entirety that I can think...
Mike, I know the guy from Mantis Music (Allen Myers, www.mantismusic.us) and he was there as well. I used to live near Record Connection in Ephrata, PA - it's a great place to get progressive music...
Remedy Lane is Pain of Salvation's best album, IMHO, and with the exception of a few tracks on Be and Scarsick I haven't really liked anything they've done since. Pain of Salvation jumped the shark...
