#NowPlaying - a ground zero for so much, but why so many cowrites for kevin ayers & so few lead vocals? is it like the neil-young's-voice-was-too-weird-for-the-springfield thing or just cuz ayers was the new guy? and how many steps between "we did it again" & oneida's "sheets of easter"? @Corry342@vinylrecords#canterbury#prog
Right, so in a surprise inversion of my recent #Prog posts about double albums that should have been single albums, here’s one that’s long enough for a double but somehow managed to fit on a single CD.
Clocking in at just over four minutes, “Clairvoyant” is a tight little slice of metal-leaning progressive rock. A powerful, rolling bassline, some solid drumming and just a touch of swirling atmospherics anchor the track, but it’s the guitar work that really shines here.

Terror Management Theory from TEMIC https://temic.bandcamp.com/album/terror-management-theory
Progressive Metal from Norway
With Eric Gilette and Diego Tejeida, who are not that much Norwegian, but well known in the prog scene..
#ProgTuesday time! Thanks to @DXMacGuffin
Today I'm thinking back to last year when Molybaron was opening act for Soen ... here comes Something Ominous:
https://55ytmqrt.bandcamp.com/album/55yt-mqrt I don't really post about music on here very much. But some of my old friends just released this album and it's really great. They've been working on it for years! These dudes are some of the most talented musicians anywhere. Consider checking it out. For fans of psychedelic prog rock, the Mars Volta, Pink Floyd, King Crimson etc.
Recordings from the "Live Beneath the Waves" concerts are starting to go up on Anthony Lucassen's channel. Gosh, I love how BIG he makes his casts. At least a dozen bands are represented on stage at any one time and it somehow all gels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAJ0zTMLClQ
