I really like the album Princess of the Allen Keys by Noisy Diners. It's a project of Italian progger Cristiano Roversi. It's pretty much in the retro-symphonic range, but doesn't sound dated. Excellent musicianship reins and there are male and female vocals. Nad Sylvan sings on several tracks and IMO he sounds better here than on his solo albums. Several tracks are on You Tube and here's one of them:
This is perfect for those, like me, who will always embrace the music of prog-Genesis or bands like IQ.

Been waiting for this one to come out in a physical form.Originally Posted by AncientChord
Me too...
Well, THAT was confusing!Especially with the last couple of tracks taking place in current times (I think!). But it had some good playing, and yes, it sounds retro but not dated. But the narration and vocals are all over the place. If it had been in Italian it would have been less confusing!
How about a three pack of new Norwegian greatness, anyone?
Caligonaut "Magnified As Giants"
Tusmorke "Nordisk Krim"
Kerrs Pink "Presence Of Life"
All three are HIGHLY recommended. By me. Enjoy.

I just got a Jordsjo notification of a new album to come as well.

And the new Needlepoint is great. And Jordsjo and Motorpsycho on the way!!! 2021 will be the Year Of Norway!!!
The Prog Corner
Also an elephant9 album released this year. It's good but not as great as previous ones IMHO.

Cool! Miniatures is one of my favorite records.

I got it from Laser's Edge. I didn't preorder, just ordered it when it appeared in new releases.
Not yet. I think I did get a shipping notification, though.
Not overly impressed by Caligonaut. Just OK in my book

I got the CD. I'm deeply impressed. Daily played for over two weeks. Huge grower. Favorite album in a 2 years.
Each to their own.
Hey, its from Norway so it has got to be totally brilliant!! Surely you are mistaken.
Haven't heared it myself yet though.
Same. All three were just okay, in my book, as you put it. I am looking forward to the new Jordsjo, however.

Perhaps it is just my musical tastes, but the year has gotten off to a slow start for me. In 2020, there were so many great releases that I could barely keep up. In 2021, I have only bought two albums so far:
Francois Thollot - Happy Lockdown
Elephant 9 - Arrival of the New Elders
This doesn't mean that a lot of great music hasn't been released in 2021, but just not in my wheelhouse.

Hey Neil,
Didn't know the other two were already released (maybe not available as physical product yet, though)
Will listen to Tusmorke tonight, though.

So far
Heliochrysum - Forbidden Structures
Nun Gun - Mondo Decay
Sumatran Black - A Taxonomy of Grief
Mogwai - As the Love Continues
Dag Rosenqvist - Vråen Centrum
Nun Gun might be of interest to some folks, maybe...an Algiers offshoot that has Ulver "Perdition City" vibes blended with maybe Massive Attack and 70's noir thriller soundtracks (one track also sounds like they sampled Frizzi's score to Zombi, if that's any reference).

If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

New Jordsjo on May 7th. Hooray.

Look; you lost me. Is it recognizable sympho or not? And isn't Algiers some term or place in Klingon exclusively?
