    A couple of albums ago. As with Arena, they opted to turn to releasing bland "prog metal" stuff that could be any number of bands, rather than the excellent, melodic prog of their first few albums.

    A dark/King Crimson-esque record with lots of psych/space elements.
    A really nice album

    Via Progstreaming, a German band I'd never hear about named Johnny Bob. Two albums: Carnival of the Brahma Sox and the newer Fjodor and the Watergiant. I was honestly tempted to skip listening to this because of the album titles alone but decided to give it a shot.

    I'm not sure if I should be polite or not but I'll try to do my best. A Genesis wannabe group with decent musicianship and lesser songwriting ability. Two singers. One sounds like a mixture of Bjork, Dolores O'Riordan and at times Niko at her most monotonous. The male singer is generic. I don't know what to really say except that outside of certain instrumental passages, some of which are clear pastiches of Genesis as well as a host of neo-prog bands, there is not much there that truly stands out. A lot of long tracks that go nowhere. Lyrics (in English) that are at best mediocre and at worse so cliched as to leave me cringing. Overall, it's an average listen if you only ever plan on listening once.

    This is easily one of the CDs I would have been coaxed into buying by some record dealer because they needed to get rid of their inventory. I would have listened once and put it on the shelf never to be touched again.

    Cellar Noise - Nautilus

    A hell of a lot better than the last thing I reviewed. I'm not sure what to call it as if it really matters - Neo? Sympho? Whatever. It's not retro at all - a modern sound. Italian band singing in English which is not my preference but the singing is good - certainly well above average. The songs are all personal and emotional - I don't hear any Bullfinch's Mythology used here. The first track jarred me even though I saw the "E" for explicit but from what I gathered it was in the persona of a vicious internet troll and might even be from a message the band received - not sure. Enjoyed all the songs in and of themselves but the track "Our Last Dance" stood out. The riff during the chorus reminded me quite a bit of first album Rush - that sound they had that reflected a Black Sabbath influence. A hard-rock earworm which gave that song a punch.

    A good listen that I'll come back to.

    WOOHOO ... hope they are returning to the instrumental approach
    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

    Excellent stuff. Craig's one of my favorite jazz keyboardists of the past 10 or so years.

    Gang,
    I've been listening to this one a lot in the last days: great album IMO!.

    Guy Segers is, AFAIK, co-owner of Carbon 7 Records and also, he was part of Univers Zero before joined Present.
    Next, an interview made by the remembered Vitaly Menshikov (VM) to Guy Segers (GS) back in 2004:

    http://www.progressor.net/interview/guy_segers.html

    "- VM: Along with Daniel Denis and Robert Trigaux, you stood at the cradle of Univers Zero, whose history began in May 1974. You were very young then and, yet, you were completely prepared to play a highly complicated music, which demanded not only the high performance professionalism, but also the knowledge of specific harmonic laws. Did you listen to any avant-garde classical composers at that time? Please elaborate on your musical background.

    - GS: Well, surprisingly none of us had made any school, so we didn't know anything about rules. But we where listening to many different things, and musicians such as Soft Machine, Captain Beefheart, Magma, Miles Davis, Stravinsky, Bartok, Tony Williams Lifetime, Manfred Mann's Chapter Three, etc did bring us a kind of direction on emotional and technical level."

    Regards,
    Tomás.
    Pura Vida!.

    Good writeup, but I believe Carbon 7 have been defunkt for at least a decade now. Which is a kinda shame, as they (apparently) went almost overlooked even though their roster featured artists of an extremely high standard; AKA Moon, Pierre Vervloesem, Louise Avenue, Hilliard Ensemble, Franck Balestracci, Hardscore (combo of Belgian Zappa-apostle Frank Nuyts) and the fantastic chamber-jazz of La Grande Formation - to name a few.

    Great label.
