j'ai écouté, et malgré la presence de Masvidal et Reinart, c'est tout doux, de la pop rock très accessible, c'est pas mal quand même, et ça joue bien effectivement

j'ai commencé a ecouter Paradox Hotel, c'est un sacré pavé, le titre deux fait 21 minutes déjà, va falloir du temps pour bien le saisir ce disque, mais je le sens bien, ce que j'ecoute me plait pour le moment

Il doit être dans la lignée de Stardust We Are etc. normalement, j'ai sacrément hâte de l'entendre !

oui je commence le CD deux là et c'est fluide, mélodique, très accessible, ça fait du bien de les retrouver comme ça

Yep, ça fait plaisir de lire ça noise, je me l'écoute incessamment...





Sinon, vu sur comme d'hab :

Très bonne nouvelle ça !!

J'ai écouté le THE FLOWER KINGS ce matin en allant bosser... Si vous avez envie d'écouter du bon Prog inspiré et pêchu jetez-vous plutôt avec force sur le dernier THE TANGENT, du grand art !

C'est sûr que pour écouter Flower Kings dans l'espoir d'entendre un truc pêchu, faut quand même en tenir une sacrée couche

Pêchu n'est peut-être pas le terme approprié. Mais comme couillu l'est encore moins, je resterais sur pêchu !

Sinon, oui, THE FLOWER KINGS sait aussi être pêchu, ou au moins bien remuer, mais faut creuser dans le passé.

Vu à comme d'hab :

"DAVID GILMOUR : Tne environmentally conscious David Gilmour has assured that his recent solo album On An Islan will be the first ever CarbonNeutral® CD to be released by Columbia Records.
On An Island is the first Columbia Records release to be manufactured under environmentally responsible CarbonNeutral® guidelines. CarbonNeutral® is an ecological initiative designed to combat global warming through the restoration of the natural balance of carbon dioxide in the environment. Future Forests, the founding agency behind CarbonNeutral®, measures and reduces excessive carbon dioxide in the environment, compensating exactly for the amount of CO 2 produced through unavoidable emissions - i.e., driving, flying, manufacture, electrical production - through forestry sponsorship and 'technology switch' projects. The idea behind a CarbonNeutral® CD is that the amount of carbon dioxide produced in the manufacture of the CD is neutralized through reforestation - trees 'breath' carbon dioxide and 'exhale' oxygen - or the implementation of energy saving technologies.

For more information on CarbonNeutral® projects, please visit www.futureforests.com."

je crois qu'il y a un sujet sur le Gilmour juste en dessous l'ancetre si tu regarde bien

Mouerf, j'sens qu'il va falloir que je me paye une nouvelle paire d'yeux, ou que je lise plus sans zapper !

EDIT : Je l'ai écouté. Pour être gentil on va dire que c'est quelque peu dormitif...

At the same place... :

"WHITE: Alan White's (Yes) new band with Geoff Downes (Asia, The Buggles, Yes) is simply called White. Their self-titled debut will be released by Renaissance Entertainment on April 18th.
The album is described as "A blend of traditional progressive rock with modern elements that will appeal to all age groups. Of course, traditional Yes fans will love the music and are a primary target. The album cover is designed by Roger Dean, artist of Yes, Asia and Uriah Heep fame."
The tracklisting of the album is as follows:

1. New Day
2. Beyond The Sea Of Lies
3. Give Up Giving Up
4. Crazy Believer
5. Fate
6. Dreamaway
7. Once And For All
8. Mighty Love
9. Loyal
10. Waterhole

Since bursting onto the world stage with John Lennon in the Plastic Ono Band at the "Give Peace a Chance" tour in Toronto, Alan White has developed a reputation as a musical innovator, both in his role as Yes drummer, and as a collaborator with the likes of George Harrison and Joe Cocker. As an important contributing songwriter, Alan has helped take Yes to great heights with radio hits such as Owner of a Lonely Heart, Changes, Love Will Find a Way, The Rhythm of Love, Wondrous Stories, Tempus Fugit, Leave It, The Calling, and In the Presence Of.

His latest musical project is the group White, a brand-new vehicle for cutting-edge, progressive modern music performed with a world-class band. Kevin Currie provides soulful, touching lyrics delivered with the gravitas of Peter Gabriel and Don Henley; Steve Boyce holds down the bottom end with a dance-inducing groove and soaring vocal support; Karl Haug truly is a master guitarist, equally comfortable on delicate acoustic, driving electric and searing electric laptop slide; Geoff Downes, founding member of the Buggles & Asia (as well as time in Yes ), ties the resulting soundscape together with punchy Hammond organ work, exhilarating orchestrations, and scorching solos. Steeped in sonic variety, White evokes an emotional response from its audience certain to build a strong word-of-mouth buzz."



Très belle pochette, si la musique suit, j'adhère !





"SAGA: Some news of two new albums and confirmation of Saga tour dates:

On 24th April 2006, Saga will release Trust in Europe as a Special Edition CD+DVD. The Special Edition (initial pressing in a lavish digipack) will also include a bonus DVD with a making of the album! The Album will be released through InsideOut. This follows their single release of It's Your Life which was released earlier this month. It features three tracks: It's Your Life (radio edit), Trust (radio edit) and That's As Far As I'll Go.
Nearly 30 years after their self titled debut album, Canadian melodic/prog rock legends, Saga are back to offer their amazing new studio album, Trust. Trust once again delivers that trademark Saga sound; progressive rock chops combined with memorable, radio-friendly melodies. Trust was recorded in SAGA's home country of Canada, which proved to be as inspiring to the recording process as England was for their hugely successful classic album, ‘Worlds Apart’. Trust is a feast for all fans of classic, melodic and progressive rock and is sure to please the die-hard SAGA fan base. The fantastic cover artwork was done by the multiple award-winning Hungarian artist, Balázs Pápay.

2. Time To Play
3. My Friend
4. You Were Right

Il est vraiment bon l'album de Saga.
Rien de bien nouveau, depuis Full Circle c'est un peu toujours la même chose.
Mais là, y'a peut-être plus d'ambition que Network ou Marathon, c'est peut-être même un peu plus... prog

Ben c'est pas une mauvaise nouvelle ça... Je me l'écoute cette semaine !

il est bien ce FK, je l'ai acheté, je regrette pas, c'est sans doute leur meilleur depuis, ouh la, longtemps, rien que pour Monsters and Men, ça vaut l'ecoute, tu a retenté j'espere?

Non, carrément pas ! J'ai été hyper déçu, faudra que je retente en effet, ce n'était peut-être pas 'le moment'...

Par contre le SAGA yessssssssssssss ! Un des albums de Prog de l'année, sans aucun doute !

Ravi qu'il t'ait plu, ça me rassure même, je raconte pas que des conneries sur le prog
Je le trouve de mieux en mieux à chaque écoute, 5 ans que j'attendais un album de ce calibre (depuis House of cards).

Je l'ai écouté toute la semaine dernière quasiment, je ferais un post dessus incessament, il est en effet meilleur à chaque écoute. Puis ça tombe impec' ! Tu m'as l'air de bien connaître SAGA et moi je connais peu. Tu pourrais me citer 4 ou 5 albums à ton avis incontournable, please ?
