IQ is supposed to play the album "Ever" entirely. Personally, this is my less favorite IQ album with Peter Nicholls on vocals... This album is 50 minutes long. I hope the other songs they will play will be among my favorites... I will see the show here in Quebec City on October 3rd...

In fact, ( Gaetan ), Mystery was always classified as a prog rock band, it's easy to say that now they are a great Neo-Prog band. if I heard this for the first time, not knowing who it was, I'd think that another great Neo-Prog band was discovered. The only album I don't have is "Mystery"...

Hey :roll: Seems like that literally means "type error" I'm not sure what you mean. It's just a typo. In French we can say "erreur typographique" or "faute de frappe" but the most common way to say it is "faute de frappe". Anyway, I think it was just a funny ...

Long time ago I posted the translation of my reviews for the band Redemption until the album "This Mortal Coil". I have updated my document with the translation of the last 2 studio albums ("The Art Of Loss" and "Long Night's Journey Into Day"). My reviews are like link...

If we translate word by word: "erreur typographique" which is ok to say but I have never said that this way in my life... Most common way to say it would be "faute de frappe".

Thanks for the info.

I need a little English lesson here... At the end of the last song (the title track) the lyrics say: Keep on dreaming Keep of dreaming I understand the meaning of "Keep on dreaming" but I'm not sure about "Keep of dreaming"... I know sometimes song lyrics can be tricky... Maybe t...

Just watched this video for the first time! Cool video! Yesterday I listened to the album for the first time! I now read the lyrics on my 55" TV. Unfortunately, I haven't found the lyrics of this album online so I was reading the lyrics in the CD booklet with a flashlight! It's a bit dark in my...

The Barstool Philosophers - Sparrows (2009) Fantastic debut from this Dutch band, then they just disappeared for years. They did have a second release with a variety of vocalists but I just couldn't bring myself to get it after the original vocalist, Leon Brouwer, left the band. Maybe someone's hea...

LORD BANE - Age of Elegance One album only, but what a disc ... this was a demo from a young American band, that somehow made it overseas and found its way onto the desk of Nordic Metal, a tiny Danish record label.

I added the band to my website in the neo-prog section.
To me, "A Tower Of Silence" is truly their best album. It's like Sylvan's "Posthumous Silence".
"The Second Hand" comes second. I don't care much about the other 2 studio albums (1st and 3rd).

GaetanL

I don't believe we have ever brought up Anubis -- there are actually 2 Anubis bands ... the one you speak of out of Australia, and another metal band that I can't remember the origin. The Neo-Prog Anubis, is as you said .... a Pink Floyd vibe, although I don't ever remember thinking Haken when I li...

I hear some Pink Floyd "The Wall" and some Haken "Aquarius"...

I'm currently playing the album "A Tower Of Silence" (2011)...
It sounds really good... not sure how to describe this... This is not exactly classic neo-prog...

For me the best is to buy CDs and rip them in flac. At least go flac all the way and convert the flac files to the format you want and the bitrate you want when needed. If you change your mind about the format or the bitrate, simply repeat the process, no problem, your source is perfect (flac files)...

The only thing I use streaming for (Spotify) is to check out new bands or releases, then if I like it I prefer to own it. Yeah, as you said, it's better to own it. Spotify so far is a financial pit. They have never made a profit so far... This situation cannot last forever. I don't know the future ...

Am I missing something or Fates Warning is only a double CD release (no DVD)?

Based on Uncle Claus' suggestion that I go back and check out the previous two Paul Manzi discs, I played "The Unquiet Sky" and "The Seventh Degree" back to back-- after playing "Double Vision" ........ "Double Vision" blows those two others away ...... hands...

I still refer to the email you sent me long time ago about your favorites neo-prog albums... Shadowland - "Through the Looking Glass" is in the list...

Now the 3rd album (Mad As A Hatter) is playing and this is really good too!

Sorry to hear about your injury. No problem for the delay for the box of goodies. Get well my friend.

I bought the their 3 CDs used and the concert DVD... As I'm writing this and reading your post, "Through the Looking Glass" is currently playing... I have a feeling that this might be my favorite Shadowland album as well... Just be before I was playing their first album "Ring Of Roses...

GaetanL

This is interesting... First album in 1992... Clive Nolan on vocals before forming Arena... Karl Groom on guitar before forming Threshold... To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about Clive voice in this band... I think this is because what I heard before was mainly backing vocals with Arena for exam...

GaetanL

To me, "The Seventh Degree Of Separation" with Paul Manzi on vocals is truly excellent! Ok it doesn't have an epic / prog song, but it doesn't matter because now we have it with the last disc!

GaetanL

Great news! I backed and chose the signed Blu-ray... If everything goes fine, It will be also a pleasure for me to promote it on my website for free after watching it!

GaetanL

Ok, I've just watched this... This is a must have concert on Blu-ray...
My only complain is this: Cutting in half great songs for playing about 1 hour of not great songs (mostly recent stuff)...

GaetanL

Now, about the album...
I love it! An essential Arena disc!
Of course the epic song could not be better than "Moviedrome" but this is still a great one!

Obviously Michel St-Père is a quite busy man! It seems that he is always recording something. Can you recommend me the album I should start with?
