Back in 2007 I did a Prog Rock mix that is still one of my favorite low light mixes. You can find the original post & download here... PROG ROCK '07. I've always wanted to do another prog mix. While on a pro rock binge I came across "For Absent Friends" by Genesis and that gave me the idea of doing a mellow prog mix. In the original mix I tried to stay away from prog rock mainstays like Genesis [...]
Vance is the resident puppet at The Best Show on WFMU with Tom Scharpling . Vance is pretty mellow. Vance loves prog rock. Vance has a Twitter account . A few weeks ago there was a caller named 'Chris from Little Rock' who said something along the lines of "make your presence felt" . Now I don't know if Vance is actually made of felt, but this statement jumped out at me as the best tag line for Vance and inspired me to make the following artwork (click the image for full-size).

Somehow the kids dig prog rock. I'm not quiete sure how you get to Captain Beefheart from what it is today as a truly misunderstood and wide genre of music. Prog rock used to be a dirty hippie word until the math geeks slowly adopted copious notes and the notion that it's ok to mix your metal with your jazz. Mostly though it's just a "Other" category. Now it's cool. Not sure how the leap happended but it did. Somewhere in the basement stax is the vinyl for Songs for the Terrestrially Challenged (1995) LP [...]
Lucy Swann Trio When a vocalist/keyboard player, beatboxer and double bass player make up a band, it's fair to assume that they will perk people's curiousities. With no first impressions except, "This chick is cute," Lucy Swann breaks out into acapella beats (using her trusty loop pedals), rhythms of mystical electronica with her own soulful croon and screech. Bringing in the hard, gritty beats was beatboxer Droolian (Julian Sommerfelt), while Christian Skjønhaug broke out a sensual and melodic bassline. Lucy Swann of Lucy Swann Trio [...]
Spesso mi ritrovo invitato ad aperitivi o cene in cui un insospettabile nonché improvvisato pseudo-musicista si mette a tessere le lodi di gruppi molto tecnici ( e non me ne vogliano i loro fan, due volte su tre l'esempio sono i Dream Theater ) che hanno, a suo parere, una marcia più degli altri e che vengono ascoltati solamente dalla 'gente che veramente se ne intende di musica'. Lo stesso losco personaggio è pronto a considerare 'pattume superato' qualsiasi altra band non faccia improbabili tempi, tipo i cinquantasette diciassettesimi, o non costelli qualsiasi suo brano di almeno [...]
A neppure un anno dall'esordio su Bar La Muerte i Very Short Shorts tornano sul luogo del misfatto e danno alle stampe questo secondo lavoro, "Minimal Boom", per l'etichetta Riff Records. Sempre guidato dal pianista Stefano Manca (che scrive e produce tutto l'album) il trio italo-francese aggiusta la propria mira con un lavoro più diretto ed essenziale come già suggerisce il titolo (anche nel ridotto minutaggio), abbandona le colonne sonore da poliziesco in favore di un concept più ampio che abbraccia suggestioni intime e sentimenti universali: ne sono ottima testimonianza l'iniziale, ariosa e insieme serrata, [...]
The old days. No internet meant that exposure to music was based on being able to afford it, then sharing illegal taped copies with your pals, followed by CD's then minidisc. Result = choice of music was more stringent. You thought more about your purchases and more often than not they belonged to a certain genre. The Albums would be played over and over again. Now. Internet saturation means that not only do you not have to pay for albums any more but you can legally listen to them as artists are [...]
I presupposti perché il nuovo album dei Justice fosse un (mezzo) capolavoro c'erano tutti. Quattro anni di attesa, ultimi mesi di incessanti rumors e boatos, indiscrezioni sulla nuova direzione musicale intrapresa dal duo francese e poi, a sorpresa, un mese fa i Justice stessi fanno uscire in rete un medley dei brani del disco che spiazza completamente i fan e porta testate specializzate in electro ed affini a stroncare perentoriamente il disco, sulla base di non so quali impressioni ricavate da tre minuti di porzioni di brano mixate a mo' di scherzo di Carnevale.

Tanlines-Novo Álbum: 'Mixed Emotions'
Os Tanlines, duo norte-americano que se posiciona algures entre os progressivos Battles e algumas bandas mais moderadas que se passeiam calmamente pelo indie-pop, encontrando-se em algo que definem como electro-tropical enquanto criadores de remisturas. Consolidaram-se como banda há pouco tempo e lançaram um EP, 'Settings', que não passou despercebido por algumas esferas musicais espalhadas
