  1. The Shape Of Fluidity
    by Dool
  2. Echoes from within Dragon Island Suite 24bit-48khz
    by Karfagen
    Dragon Island Suite Part 2 Dragon Island Suite Part 2
    I enjoy the cinematic quality of Antony & company’s music. It complements the fantastical nature of these songs very well. Part 2 is my favourite of this suite. The knob accordion adds a great whimsical (nostalgic/rural?) feel to the entire suite, reminding me of pastoral moments in Link’s adventures in Hyrule. Overall, I give this a 7.5/10, though Part 2, for me, is about an 8.5/10. Thank you, Karfagen!
  3. Messenger's Quest
    by Triton Project
    Beyond The Mazes Beyond The Mazes
    Besides comparisons Bert made, I think Triton Project have elements of Southern Empire & Symphony X in them too. A very satisfying, keen edge on the debut swing of their progressive metal blade here. Masterfully done! The album’s tale concept is to be highly commended. There’s a lot of brilliant facets to this diamond. A journey, indeed! 8+/10.
  4. Life is a Killer
    by Finally George
    Way home Way home
  5. Shifting Sands - Extended (2023)
    by Fearful Symmetry
  6. Exotic Creatures and a Stolen Dream LP Edition
    by Sunchild
  7. Observer
    by Stereochrome
    Observer Observer
    The review comparing Stereochrome’s music hereon to Tool’s music is what first compelled me to give this album a listen, and I agree. There is indeed a good amount of chugging Tool-esque rhythms throughout. The progressive element in these songs is also commendable. For my taste, though, I find the high-hats, at times, too heavy in the mix. Overall, though, there’s lots to like here. A solid effort. 6.5/10.
  8. Snowflakes 11
    by Various Artists
    Farthest Shore Farthest Shore
    An excellent collection of mostly reflective, introspective neo-folk. Love it! A very consistent flow of soothing song for the soul. This treasure trove contains many gems & offers a plethora of new artists to explore—each worthy of more renown. Picking a favourite song has never been so hard before—so many vie for the honour. I’ll need to devote time to listen to other albums in the Snowflakes series. This album is captivating, stirring, & the sweetest of escapes.
    🙏 8.5+/10. 🙏
  9. Opium
    by Secret Sky
    Alchemy Alchemy
    A very good progressive new age/world album with definite Middle-eastern & Celtic leanings. The songs—especially the last four (for me)—are quite enchanting. The vivid imagery they conjure up in my mind transport me to a natural world yet rich with magic and purer depth of soul. I envy Nickie H. Kelly for having seen them live with L. McKennitt. If you love Secret Sky, be sure to check out Blackmore’s Night.
    7.5/10.
  10. Altered States
    by Rick Miller
    The Trap The Trap
    A very good album to lose track of time to. I usually prefer music that is a little more adventurous, but this is spot on for when my mind needs a mellow outing. Dreamy, insightful, and a tad mystical. The title track is quite interesting & would be my favourite if not for my love of captivating flute instrumentals. This album sounds very much the younger sibling of ‘Old Souls’. 7.5/10.
  11. Eclipses (2023)
    by entropía
    Dysania Dysania
    Delightfully pleasant, this album. A many-coursed feast of nostalgic, progressive, & psychedelic flavours. Although only 5 songs long, the album has much to offer, many servings, in fact, for the music is ever evolving, smoothly flitting to & fro reflective moments to more animate ones. Contrast betwixt them is well-utilized. Overall, I’d say the blended flavours here hint at ingredients mined from current Scandinavian prog with a focus on a 70’s sound. Well-done, entropía! 7.5+/10.
  12. Holocene
    by The Ocean
  13. Source (Album 2023)
    by Limited gatefold CD & for a limited time comes with Live album on CD
    Golden (Extended Version) Golden (Extended Version)
    Such a mesmerizing swirl of free-spirited, groovy tunes! Love the combination of silken, breathy vocals with the intuitively soulful, psychedelic music. Very good flow to this album. It took me a few listens to really get into the vibe here, but now I feel I truly get what the band was tapped into & is expressing—revelation & euphoric celebration. This album is simultaneously fun, meaningful, & chill. Dance, Soul, dance…without inhibition…
    Thanks, Hanover Flyover!
    8+/10.
  14. Old Kings Fall
    by Hircine
    The Nameless Ruins The Nameless Ruins
    Very pleasant fantasy-oriented ambient music. Definitely quite enchanting. Makes me want to immerse myself in a ‘Zelda’ adventure. I’d call this forest synth, as well. Well-done, Hircine! I love the mystical aura you create! This is excellent backdrop music for my writing endeavours. Looking forward to more releases in the same vein from you.
    8+/10.
  15. Telepathic Minds
    by Overhead
    The Pilot's Not Fit To Fly The Pilot's Not Fit To Fly
    As boldly declared, this album is indeed Overhead’s magnum opus. The album’s title is very appropriate. It’s readily apparent the minds of Overhead have great musical empathy with each other. I’d go so far as to say they’re an entity unto themselves & have a hive-mind. This is definitely going to vie for my top prog-rock AOTY. This is a very catchy, captivating, & constantly-evolving scroll of rich, diverse expression—soulfully inspired! So smooth!
    ❤️ the album, Overhead! Thx!
    9/10.
  16. Brainstorm
    by Anxtron
    5 O'clock Tea 5 O'clock Tea
    Some good instrumental prog rock here. Entertaining and thoughtfully crafted. 7/10.
  17. Prog Magazine 138
    by Mascot Label Group
    The Awareness The Awareness
    Been a fan of Ayreon since first hearing ‘01011001’. The dramatic, progressive, tale-spinning nature of Ayreon’s music quite appeals to me, although I cater more towards fantastical tales rather than futuristic. Nonetheless, there’s no denying Arjen Lucassen’s great compositional talents. I had to choose ‘The Awareness’ as my fave song because I absolutely adore the semi-acoustic version called ‘Dreamtime’ on ‘The Final Experiment-Special Edition’ album. Thank you,Ayreon!
    7.5+/10.
  18. Blues In Britain Magazine Compilation
    by Mascot Label Group
    Throw That Stone Throw That Stone
    A worthy compilation album to have. Mascot has a fine stable of recognized, talented artists, Joe Bonamassa being my fave of them. I especially enjoy the flow of the album’s first half. Great songs by JB, Walter Trout, Robin Trower, the Cold Stares, Beth Hart, & KWS. Thanks, company & Mascot!
    7.5/10.
  19. The Empty Space Between A Seamount And Shock-Headed Julia
    by THE BLACK CAT'S EYE
    Kill The Sun And The Moon And The Stars Kill The Sun And The Moon And The Stars
    Good psychedelic rock album, but not great like its likely influences. Still, I found the title track quite fascinating during an especially appreciative, receptive state of mind. It compelled me to purchase the album ere its release. Good variety of songs. 7/10.
  20. She's the Bomb / Atomic Blues
    by We Came From Space
    Bought this song mainly because of the long, epic jam that constitutes more than half its total, which I presume is the ‘Atomic Blues’ segment. Then again, perhaps this is a 2-song combo. IDK. Anyway, it’s very reminiscent of something the Neal Morse Band would play, and no wonder—Bill Hubauer from NMB is one of those who came from space. Very good musicianship & a worthy song for the ever-growing collection. 7+/10.
