Albume 2009

From an interview with Steven Wilson http://www.popmatters.com/pm/feature/71943-an-eclectic-master-craftsman-an-interview-with-steven-wilson-4

What can we expect from the next Porcupine Tree album? I hear that it’s a continuous piece of music over 55 minutes.
That’s going to be one disc. We’ve also got some short pieces, which we may put on a second disc. I’m not sure, yet. We’re certainly going to record everything and we may do a double, or we may just put a single long track out as the whole album. It’s kind of a brave or a stupid thing to do. But, you know what? I think the climate is better now than ever to make those kind of gestures because singles, radio, video are more and more irrelevant as every month goes by. If bands are going to make ridiculous/ambitious/pretentious pomp—whatever you want to call it—we’re in an era when you can do that now again. It’s not just about radio and creating these pop songs anymore. That, in a way, is a return to the ’70s and I’m very happy about that.


Supposed to be released sometime later this year (I read September 1, 2009 somewhere).

Oh, yeah.

a aparut noul album KOTEBEL-Ouroboros.
o fi avand legatura cu un membru de pe al nostru forum?

Si astia? Cred ca li se pare ca suna cool si vor sa atraga atentia. N-am ascultat Kotebel, dar sunt sigur ca as prefera albumul "Uroboros" scos acum cateva luni de Dir en Grey.

A "aparut" si un nou OSI. L-am ascultat si e la fel de interesant ca precedentul (adica nu foarte), dar pe felia lui - introspectiv, melancolic, un aer un pic distant - functioneaza bine. La baterie, Harrison de la PT/Kc e o prezenta discreta, foarte fin (ca de obicei) si-i completeaza frumos pe Moore si Matheos. Apare si Akerfeldt pe undeva, dar nimic spectaculos.

O multime de post rocheri au scos album in 2009 pana acuma: Mono (same old recipe), Giant Squid, Bell Orchestre, Scraps of Tape, Crime in Choir, dar si o trupa noua si relativ draguta pe zona asta - Gathiens.

Trey Gunn si Pat Mastelotto au un proiect nou pe nume KTU, cu care au scos un album anul asta - instrumental desigur, un pic disonant, un pic poliritmic, dar nimic nemaiauzit - asta in loc de mult amanatul album Kc.

Noile Isis si Callisto se pare ca sunt superbe. De Mastodon iarasi se vorbeste numai de bine in general cu prilejul lui "Crack the Skye". In orice caz, pentru mine numarul unu ramane "Carboniferous" de la Zu - un album exceptional.

Musea & Colossus Ry
Proudly presents
Omero's
ILIAD
"Progressive Duels on Grand Piano"
The Finnish Progressive Music Association COLOSSUS is planning to release a follow up to the 3 CDs box-set ODYSSEY (Musea FGBG 4534). This new concept album will be based on Omero's epic poem the "ILIAD".
Here are some basic ideas of the project:
- The 24 "books" of the ILIAD will be assigned to 12 pianists. Each artist participating to the project will choose two "books" and make their music inspired by them.
- Maximum total length for both tracks 12 min.
- Only instrument allowed: Grand Piano
- A retro, vintage, early 70's feel is required (Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Tony Banks, Patrick Moraz, etc.)
- We are looking for: virtuoso, melody, passion, feelings, and coherence with the story.
- Each pianist participating will record their songs by themselves. The deadline for the project will be January 2010 by which time the recordings on CD-R (non-mastered) should be sent to COLOSSUS.

The books
• Book I: After nine years of the Trojan War, King Agamemnon seizes Briseis, Achilles's war-concubine, for having relinquished Chryseis; dishonoured, Achilles wrathfully withdraws; the gods argue the War's outcome.
• Book II: Testing Greek resolve, Agamemnon feigns a homeward order; Odysseus encourages the Greeks to pursue the fight; see the "Catalogue of Ships" and the "Catalogue of Trojans and Allies".
• Book III: In a truce, Paris and Menelaus meet in single combat for Helen, while she and King Priam watches from the city; Aphrodite rescues the over-matched Paris, yet Menelaus is the victor.
• Book IV: The Greek-favouring Athena provokes a Trojan truce-breaking and battle begins.
• Book V: In his aristeia (battle supremacy), Diomedes, aided by Athena, wounds Aphrodite and Ares.
• Book VI: Glaucus and Diomedes do not fight each other, and swap armour; at Troy, Hector bids farewell to his wife, Andromache, and their son.[7]
• Book VII: Hector battles Ajax; Paris offers restitution — but not Helen.
• Book VIII: Zeus orders divine withdrawal; Hera and Athena defy him; the war favours Troy.
• Book IX: The "Embassy to Achilles": Agamemnon sends Odysseus, Ajax, and Phoenix to Achilles for help, who spurns the offered honours and riches.
• Book X: The "Doloneia": Diomedes and Odysseus kill the Trojan Dolon, and effect a night raid against a Thracian camp.
• Book XI: Paris wounds Diomedes; Achilles has Patroclus enquire about the fight's progress; Nestor begs for the Myrmidons.
• Book XII: Led by Hector, the Trojans breach the Greek camp walls.
• Book XIII: Contravening Zeus's order, Poseidon rallies the Greeks.
• Book XIV: With the "Deception of Zeus", Hera helps Poseidon assist the Greeks to repel the Trojans; Hector is wounded.
• Book XV: Zeus stops Poseidon; Apollo rouses Hector set the Greek ships afire.
• Book XVI: Achilles orders Patroclus (dressed in Achilles's armour), to repel the Trojans; he kills Sarpedon; Hector kills Patroclus.
• Book XVII: Hector strips Patroclus of Achilles's armour; Menelaus and the Greeks recover Patroculus's corpse. (books XVI and XII constitute the "Patrocleia").
• Book XVIII: Achilles seeks to avenge Patroclus; Hepaestus forges a new "Shield of Achilles".
• Book XIX: Agamemnon and Achilles reconcile; he joins battle, despite his deadly fate.
• Book XX: The gods join the battle; Achilles drives all the Trojans before him.
• Book XXI: Achilles routs the Trojans, and battles the river Scamander; Ares leads him astray.
• Book XXII: Achilles kills Hector outside the walls of Troy, dragging the corpse to the Greek camp. [7]
• Book XXIII: Funereal games celebrate Patroclus; twelve Trojan youths are burned with the corpse.
• Book XXIV: King Priam secretly enters the Greek camp, begging Achilles for Hector's corpse, who consents; at the funeral pyre, Helen and Andromache comment upon the war.

Mda. Ascultat aşa:
OSI: Blood - nimic spectaculos.
Isis: Wavering Radiant - nu neapărat slab, dar dezamăgitor.
The Gathering: The West Pole. În mod surprinzător, nu s-a ales praful după plecarea lui Anneke. Îmi place Silje Wergeland, are o voce la fel de plăcută.
The Ocean: Fluxion (remixed, remastered 2009) - ăsta-i bun, chiar îmi sună a Meshuggah pe alocuri.
Mastodon: Crack the Skye - albumul anului, 'nuff said.

Mi-au placut ultimile albume OSI (Blood - mai bun decat Free dar totusi nu la fel de inspirat ca albumul de debut) si Queensryche (American Soldier).

Un album non-prog care mi-a placut - Kingdom Come - Magnified.

Jethro Tull 2009 lol, trebuia sa fie 2007, apoi 2008...

Si Crimson la fel, rusinica!

pentru niste legende ale muzici cum sunt Jethro Tull si King Crimson, nu e bine sa se grabeasca si sa scoata o muzica care nu este exact ce vor ei. mai bine sa mai amane 10 ani si sa vina cu ceva foarte bun. sau sa nu mai compuna nimic, decat sa fie ceva doar pentru bio.

This CD Box Set offers you the opportunity to revisit the Hackett live experience in three different decades. It includes many favourites from the early days, rarely heard live since, and a 40 page booklet crammed with unseen photos and insights from Hackett himself on the times and the tunes.
CDs 1 & 2 showcase the 70s with a complete 2 hour performance at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon.
CD3 is an outdoor concert recorded at Rome's Castel Sant' Angelo and Hackett describes this as "possibly the best this line up ever performed".
The 90s show sees Hackett back in London's Grand Theatre with a band featuring "the fearsome drumming of Hugo Degenhardt, the virtuoso bass of Doug Sinclair and the one-man orchestra of Julian Colbeck!" and is again a demonstration of six string power and virtuosity.

^ asta e album de 2009 ? ..ca eu l-am vandut acum vreo 4 ani

site-ul pare bine adus la zi, asa ca ma indoiesc ca le-a scapat sa scoata anuntul pentru o viitoare lansare, timp de 4-5 ani. si nu vad care ar fi rostul pastrarii intentionate unui anunt atat de vechi. sa vedem.

boxset-ul a aparut in 2000 (vezi in PA)

yeap ai dreptate. cu atat mai ciudat din partea site-ului oficial, induce in eroare.
