    Ah, it's a narrative film that received a VOD release back in 2012. It's still available via iTunes and Amazon Instant. It can also be ordered from the Nightscape series website. Note that the...

    I caught the Portland show on Nov. 3 and was impressed by the performance and sound mix, particularly the latter, as it was a fairly small venue (it seats about 1,500). I was lucky enough to have a...

    This is the sort of post that invites self-promotion ;) If the primary criterion is the "combination of hard rock muscle and prog smarts," I'd volunteer Project Nightscape as a group that can carry...

    I received my (regular edition) copy yesterday and have played it a half-dozen times. The album eschews standard song structure even more than previous Marillion releases, which makes it difficult to...

    I got into the band a bit before you did--with Number of the Beast--but Powerslave remains my fave Maiden effort, in part, because of the "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner." I always saw them as a...

    I've given the album several spins now and, as others have indicated, it's charms become more evident with every play. The compositions aren't especially daring, but they're chock-a-block with...

    This song certainly resonates with me much more than the previous two 'preview tracks.' There's some impressive band interplay here starting at about 3:33. I can't help feeling the track could have...

    Ack! Sounds surprisingly half-finished. The opening hints at a build that never occurs. I'd rate this considerably lower than "I'm Amazing," which, sadly, wasn't especially impressive but at least...

    If you're a fan of Pet Sounds (like me), then I recommend the 33 1/2 book on the making of the record, which, while not especially impressive in terms of style or structure, tells an impressive...
  17. Pitchfork's Top 200 Songs of the 1970s--How does prog fare?

    Pitchfork magazine, probably the most respected source of cross-genre music criticism, if not reporting, just posted its editors' picks for the top-200 songs of the 1970s. Prog is called out as a...

    This kind of fragmented structure is always a danger with prog. It's a real challenge to craft a song that's both structurally sound and at once, surprising. That's why many prog artists indulge in a...

    I pre-ordered the 3CD/BD edition, in part, on the strength of the Relayer remix, which was exceptional in its spatial imaging.

    This is my favorite post-OK Computer release from the band... I agree with the starter post review that the band seemed to rediscover melody with this record.

    Good to know about your radio program! I'm in the Portland area and will make a point of listening in the near-future.

    At least the band seems aware of this quirk and tries to compensate with layered harmonies to give the songs some added melodic force. This is especially evident on "Old Hearts Fall," where some...

    I dig this track and am excited to hear the rest of the album. Pineapple Thief produce the sort of melodic prog I tend to enjoy most--prog that's both technically impressive and emotionally-involving.
