Понедельник, Август 27th, 2007 
Tomas BODIN's regular job is to play the keyboards for THE FLOWER KINGS but as usual some of these musicians and especially if they are a member of The FLOWER KINGS have too many ideas and one musical life doesn't satisfy them any longer. They need to have a solo project. And seemingly Tomas BODIN also has a lot of good ideas left over. And of course, how could it be any different other FLOWER KINGS members are featured on his albums, regarding the first and last release you can even say that ALL members are featured in some way, it's very typical for the FLOWER KINGS family I guess.
But the music on his solo albums is quite different, it's a mix between Jazzrock/Fusion and Retro Prog, all instrumental (exept "I AM"). And of course the whole sound is keyboard dominated. His albums are very experimental, at least Tomas is trying several keyboard sounds such as various types of organs or synthesizers. He released four albums this far and the highlight for sure is "Pinup Guru" because it's most unequal to other FLOWER KINGS releases, maybe because Roine STOLT is not featured on this one.
So if you like the FLOWER KINGS or heard of Jonas Reingold's solo project KARMAKANIC and liked it, this is a good thing to spend some money. You will get some different stuff but it still remains reminiscent of the FLOWER KINGS not only because their members supported these projects.

The Tangent - Discography (inc. lives and dvd)
Четверг, Август 23rd, 2007 
The Tangent began as a project to record some compositions of the band's primary writer, Andy Tillison, with several members of The Flower Kings (Roine Stolt, Zoltan Csorz, and Jonas Reingold) and some of Andy's friends (Sam Baine, Guy Manning). During that first recording, many of the musicians never met in person. After some critical acclaim, another album was recorded. This was followed by successful live performances, during which the project--which was only intended as a single-album collaboration--became a band.
Roine Stolt and Zoltan Csorz have since left the band and been replaced by Jaime Salazar and Krister Jonsson. The Tangent is now a seven-member band spread across three countries. It continues to use technology to allow its members to collaborate despite their geographic separation and continuing commitments to other bands. The band draws more on the jazzy Canterbury style than most modern progressive rock bands.

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Discography
Четверг, Август 16th, 2007 
This Frisco-based very unique band using some home-made instruments known from avantgarde music is existing since 1999 and became quite famous on the westcoast for their impressive dadaistic live shows.
Although being almost unclassifiable their style could be roughly described as a Metal/RIO hybrid. The music can be very heavy at times but as well very atmospheric with plenty of different layers of all sorts of instruments also classical ones like violin and piano. Sometimes it reminds to SEPULTURA, sometimes to ISILDURS BANE or late KING CRIMSON. All musicians are very artistic on their instruments, the male voice is quite growling but still pleasant and Carlas voice is very reminiscent of BJVRK.
People who like both Metal and RIO/Avant-garde music will love it immediately. If you mind some Metal or high-pitched female vocs check it out first. Any adventurious listeners should give it a spin at least.
