[Scott Bails]

The new Frost should be out only next summer. There have been several delays, I was hoping for this year but not so long ago Jem Godfrey said that the plan now is to release the next album in 2014. At first it was only one album, some songs were already posted (they were amazing), but now they are planning to make new Frost records in 2014, 2015 and 2016 - so the next three years there should be a new album. I don't know if some of the posted songs will be on the 2014 record, when the record will exactly be released and if they really will make those three albums because as I understand it, Jem is also busy with other things, so it takes some time to release new music.

Three albums in three years? Where do I sign up?

[battema]

From just a bit outside the prog umbrella:

Tim Hecker, Oneohtrix Point Never, and Ryiuchi Sakamoto / Taylor Deupree all have releases in Sept/Oct.
There is also the Crisis box from Mike Oldfield, which should be fun.

Oh yeah: the new Kayo Dot album Hubardo is supposed to land in September. Looks like the digital half will be on time, not so sure about the physical media preorders.

You saved me the effort of tracking these down to post here
Pretty much looking to buy most of these.

Aranis, Present & Univers Zero are all working on new material though I have no idea when they may appear.

Also of interest to me on Wayside's "Coming Soon" list with no definitive dates:-


3 MICE: CEDRIC VUILLE/DAVE WILLEY/ELAINE DI FALCO (2nd album)
AQUASERGE-4th album and it's a killer!
CAMEMBERT-Negative Toe
CASSIBER (box set with a live DVD as well as unreleased material on CD along with the four albums we already know and love)
HAPPY FAMILY (after over 15 years away, Happy Family return and sound like they've never been gone! You'll be amazed how great they sound!)
INNER EAR BRIGADE (their 2nd release on AltrOck)
SONAR-Static Motion (another incredible, tension-filled, avant/math-rock wonder)
TATVAMSI-Parts of the Entirety (debut release by this all-instrumental, guitar/sax/bass/drums jazz/new music band with stylistic ties to groups like Gutbucket, etc. A really excellent debut!)

[selmer]

Three albums in three years? Where do I sign up?

I think a lot of people would like to know where to sign up so that it really happens I think that it is guaranteed that there will be a DVD in the very near future (the work is almost completed) and at least one studio album. Jem said that there will be three. It would be great. I just hope that they have enough energy and inspiration to release three in three years.

Sweet...didn't know Present was working on new stuff.

Glass Hammer should have an album out before the end of the year again, but we won't announce it until it's further along.

Will you guys have a different singer on this one since Jon is busy with Yes?

[trurl]

Jon's already recorded one song. Carl will sing a lot of the album but we'll have at least two vocalists from our past doing cameos, if not more.

[Progatron]

I didn't know that Emerson will be on the next Ayreon release. That's a bonus.

Wakeman too, it was announced today.

[Canvas]

Canvas just released a new album called "Long Way To Mars". 10 tracks, clocking in at just under 50 minutes in length, our best album yet by far....

Who is Carl? Have I missed something?
Those cameos - those are excellent news. Extended cameos are also welcome.

[selmer]

Wakeman too, it was announced today.

My interest grows in this. I didn't like the last few Ayreon albums. I think that starting with second album they were good - the second half of the 90's and the first half of 2000's. There was some kind of a middle stint which I liked. Also Arjens last solo album was alright.

[trurl]

Who is Carl? Have I missed something?

Carl Groves of Salem Hill, who was on Culture Of Ascent

[KELLY WELSH]

Carl Groves of Salem Hill, who was on Culture Of Ascent

Salem Hill made some decent stuff awhile back. What happened to them? Robbery of Murder was really good.Didn't Groves appear on a Neal Morse album too?

Will Jon record anymore songs with GH?

[polmico]

New Aquaserge? Hurray!

[trurl]

Will Jon record anymore songs with GH?

Probably not for this album.

[JIF]

Probably not for this album.

While I am sad about that, I just hopes that means he's working really hard with Yes on a new studio project.

Yes moves at the pace of paint drying... we shall see...

Carl Groves of Salem Hill, who was on Culture Of Ascent

I see. Haven't heard that album for a while. It was my first Glass Hammer record. Liked it so much that I got the debut very soon afterwards.
I think it's great that this next album will also have other participants. The idea to bring in some of the people that you worked with is awesome, I wish more bands did this.

[selmer]

Salem Hill made some decent stuff awhile back. What happened to them? Robbery of Murder was really good.Didn't Groves appear on a Neal Morse album too?

I think they haven't released anything for a while. I think that they have some excellent songs but I find some of the albums a bit uneven and the production sometimes is too soft and dry for my liking. But some songs are really good.

[trurl]

Liked it so much that I got the debut very soon afterwards.

Oops- sorry about that *lol*

[Peanut Buddha]

Oops- sorry about that *lol*

Don't beat yourself up too much.
Culture Of Ascent is "exceeding magnifical".

[selmer]

Oops- sorry about that *lol*

Maybe you misunderstood me.
What I meant was - Culture was my first GH record and I really liked it. Afterwards I decided to check out the rest of the discography because after Culture I was interested in what else you guys have done.
I did not mean it in a way that I did not like Culture and therefore returned to something which I like. It was not meant that way.
My favourites still are Perelandra, On To Evermore and Chronometree.
