Ephemeral Skies - A hidden prog metal gem | Album Review
When I rebooted LiveProg, I got in touch with Jonatan Berg, a Swedish guitarplayer and, as it turned out, multi-instrumentalist. He was working on a prog metal project under the name Ephemeral Skies. Over time he shared several songs with me and I was very much impressed. On May 24th, he released his EP, Inside These Walls, on streaming platforms.

Armed Cloud - Nimbus | Album Review
Переглядів 20516 годин тому
On May 25th Dutch prog metal band Armed Cloud presented their fourth studio album, Nimbus. Ipicked up on it and that the venue was close to my home, so I decided to go. Best.Decision.Ever. I was blown away by the power of this band, but also the amazing songs they played. I went home with a shirt and a CD and became a fan right away! Nimbus is a kick ass prog metal album, heavy, crunchy and mel...

Dreamcarnation: A Dutch neoprog supergroup | Album Review

Back in 2000, musicians from different Dutch neoprog bands got together and recorded a great album: Dreamcarnation. This album has been out of print for many years, but thanks to Julian Driessen, Martin Hendrix and Freia Music, there is now a re-release of this album.

My thoughts on To Follow Polaris by The Tangent (for one)
Переглядів 205Місяць тому
The 13th album by The Tangent, To Follow Polaris, is in every sense of the word a remarkable album! It is an album that will make you hit 'play' quite often and has an epic centre track, that will blow you off your socks! Trust me, what I say about this album in my review, will not do full justice, for that you will really need to listen to the album, but I will try... www.thetangent.org/ andyt...
Thoughts on Time Shift Accident's debut album - Chronosthesia (Instrumental prog/fusion)
Переглядів 842 місяці тому
An interesting title, for both the band and the album, a very good prog-fusion album, that is out for a few years. But with me being back in the progworld and looking both to new music as well as music I missed out, I really felt I needed to talk about this album.

Lovely album latest from their ! ❤. Previously all albums Armed Cloud too from debut album great. Liked style and music the band. Great review and promotions best music as always ! ❤😊
Thanks to Paul my most favourite album "Are you sitting comfortably?" saw the light of the day! ;-) Am very grateful for the two albums he did with IQ!
Great to see this Marcel! Thank you for reviewing ’Inside These Walls’! Take care, Cheers!
Thanks for your awesome review Marcel🤩🤩
Thanks for an awesome album 😉
Stellar review for a fantastic new album. I hear many similarities to Sylvan, yet the album is still his own with a distinctive style. Instant favorites include: Reach Out Life is Too Short My Eye are Wide Open For a While Running Out of Time And I agree, "For a while' definitely has a Marillion vibe and I thought the same when I heard it about "No one can", especially the way it begins.
Thank you! Nice choice of favourites! Definitely excellent songs.
Thx for the review! Listening to the album now :). I saw Mark Bogert live firs at Reekers' and Damian Wilson's progproms show... he's a great guitarist!
And a great songwriter!
I like these rankings also...don't ask me why, but I do. 🙂 After Marillion and IQ in 1983, Pendragon was my third progressive rock band I got into in 1985. The same as you, Pendragon is a top 5 band for me. My ranking is different. The Jewel is my favorite album by far. This has to do with the nostalgia factor that this is the first album I ever bought of the band. So has everyone his own personal considerations ranking albums. Hope you will keep the progressive rock spirit and keep posting video's. It is nice to have you back on the platform. Maybe at some time you could do a video together with you wife. I have the idea she also has opinions on the genre. 🙂 It is just some thought. I can imagine she doesn't want to be involved in the UA-cam stuff.
Well, it was fun to do. I might do this more! I don't think my wife will join me...she does not like to be on social media.
I'll try it.
Enjoy!
Thankz for this great review, Marcel!
You're welcome, Martin!
Checking it out tommorow
I will give a second chance to this project because of your review. First time I stopped at the second title.
Good to hear. I really hope you'll like it!
Great to get all the back story on Cyan and excited about all that’s to come… wonderful to hear Robert talking about his passion; inspiring and touching. And, oh yeah, I love the 5.1 mixes, they’re amazing and take the music to another level 🙏🔆
Love the 5.1 miexes as well! And yes, it was great to chat with Robert. I would have loved to talk much longer!
Thank you - after attending the Boerderij-show, it was a pleasure watching the interview. Good to hear there are enough plans. (And I never realized that also Magenta is a color)
You're welcome! I hope you enjoyed the show at De Boerderij. Yes, a lot to look forward to.
Thnx for the interview. Love Reed's releases, they're all have a different approach but are all high quality music. Nice to hear this down to earth Welshman speak about all the projects. Rob Reed breaths music.
It was a pleasure to chat with Robert and I would have loved to go into more of his projects, but we had limited time. But yes, he is very passionate about his music!
Great review of Fantastic album. Andy always deals with the real world. Big thumbs up.
Thanks! Yes, one of the tings I love about The Tangent, next to the brilliant music!
Was the album "Abrir la Herida" (2007) released without a booklet?
I don't know, unfortunately...
Subterra's music is incredible. It’s very cool that you have Subterra CDs, but do they have booklets? Thanks to you, I now have several rare photos of this group. Max Sanchez has always been very artistic. It’s a pity that it’s not him who sings in “Seti” and “Taurus”.
Unfortunately I don't have the cd's anymore, so I'm not sure about the booklets. But the music is definitely very good!
Love the Firefly t shirt!
Thanks!
Many thanks for taking the time to make this video. It's more than rewarding to see it and it's blush inducing ha ha. So glad it found its mark with you. Your work in bringing music to people is valued and crucial. Have you done the Fierce & The Dead album somewhere? i'd like to see that one
You're welcome, Andie. I'm happy I could do the review, it was so great to listen to the music. And I'm happy that I am re-discovering The Tangent! As for The Fierce & The Dead, that might be s band I have yet to discover.
Great album!!!!
I am curious how the other bandmembers feel about this move by Andy. "Agreed" might be a big word. The first song sounds okay.
We are working on our next album together Marcel and all is well! The band are my bestest friends ever. Thankyou!
Thanks, Andie, for answering the question.
The 13th album by The Tangent is here To Follow Polaris. What are your thoughts about the album?
Thank you for your kind words about our album! Magoria is indeed pronounced in English 😉 Hope to see you at one of our shows! June 15th in P3 Purmerend or maybe November 9th in de Boerderij Zoetermeer? 🤘
You're welcome :-) It is a fantastic album. I would very much love to see the show, so I will put November 9th in my calender!
Big fan since the Sentinel. Love everything up to dreams of men…… to sure with the messenger, a grower maybe….
The Messenger is definitely a grower. I agree with you on the older Alan Reed albums: great stuff!
Great album debut this band. Will be great be continuation of second also next in discography. Thanx.
Absolutely! The band is slowly working on a new album. I hope to get the band in an upcoming livestream in the future!
Will be great dear friend. And awesome of course hearing about planned new second release records of this incredible band Time Shift Accident. Super and great and happy 🙂🤘❤️🎶 Thank You recommening best music in melodic prog rock, neo prog, prog metal existing bands and albums release this unicate music on this days !!!
Inhalo and Within Temptation acoustic great. And rest of course too Subsignal latest and everything. Thank You.
Thanks Marek! Yeah, I'm quite hapy with these great albums!
I really enjoy your insightful videos!
Thanks, Ron!
Only had 1 listen and I'm impressed, the song Mask is a classic already.
I totally agree!
Great review. Thanks. Super album by the way !!!
Absolutely!
Very special to see the album not being reviewed on paper but in a video. Thank you for the review and for your support. By the way, I didn't know your channel, so you have another subscriber.
You're welcome, Aad! And thank you 🙏
An album that comes to mind and I would recommend is Dreams in the Witch House: A Lovecraftian Rock Opera. It’s from 2013 and I don’t think I heard about it from this channel.
I'm not familiar with it, I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip!
All this albums is still awesome ... Agree with You friend :)
Thank you!
Great second album. It's super! ! Thanks mate
You're welcome 🤗
Marcel...I loved how all these albums are optional, but you say how much you love them! I agree with Milliontown by Frost* and Marillion Season's End. The others I need to research!
Enjoy the research, hope you'll find some great music!
For Pendragon I would choose Pure and for IQ Road of Bones. What about The Visitor from Arena ? Too many great albums to make a choice…
Pure and Not of this World share first place as my fav Pendragon album 😉 As for IQ, unfortunately I Don't have Road of Bones...yet. With limiting to 10 albums, I had to make choices...so no Arena...I could have added ten more 😉
@@Liveprog one day I could make a review of my very best albums too, the ones I use to listen regularly. But you’re right, there’re too many for a single review. Try Road of Bones, in my opinion, it’s the very best IQ album.
Totally optional!!!! Totally awesome!!!!
Thanks, Scot!
That is a great list, the only one I would add is Satellite A Street Between Sunrise and Sunset
That is definitely a great album, would have fitted perfectly.
Me too nice see You return. Great band !
Virgil Donati is the main composer of the Planet X
Great to see you again. I didn't know the band, I going to have a look. Thanks !
Thanks! Yeah, For All We Know is a great band! You'll enjoy their music!
Just when I needed top make sure how to pronounce Gert Emmens and Ruud Heij names to record my on-line radio show tonight with selections from three of their amazing albums. Thanks for sharing your explorations and greetings from an long-time electronic music fan.
Welcome back, Marcel. X
Thanks, Cliff!
