Steve Hackett - Surrender of Silence out now!!!

Best known for his classic rock musicals Vampires Rock and Anything For Love, featuring the music of Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman, Steve Steinman’s first album of original music, "Take A Leap Of Faith" was released in August, 2021. Steve has come a long way since his appearance as Meat Loaf on ITV’s Stars In Their Eyes back in 1993. For the past 21 years he has toured the globe in his hit show, The Meat Loaf Story. This has led to him playing in some of the world’s most iconic venues, including Sun City South Africa and the London Pallidum. The hiatus in theatrical productions during the pandemic gave Steve an opportunity to put together his first album of original music. If you’re a fan of the work of the late, great Jim Steinman, then you’ll love Steve Steinman’s ‘Take A Leap Of Faith’. It brings to mind the classic sound of Meat Loaf at his very best, and with a voice to match. It’s an absolute belter of an album. Highly recommended!

FOREIGN – The symphony of the Wandering Jew is the work of singer/keyboard player Ivan Jacquin (Psychanoïa, Lifeseeker, Projekt One) ; the idea to create this master-piece appeared in his mind when he read in the past several books and chronicles about the myth of the Wandering Jew and inspired him three whole songs in a progressive and symphonic rock/metal mood. Foreign will be a trilogy...a real rock opera! https://foreignrockopera.bandcamp.com (btw, please vote for the correct band pictures)

The Ravens is an Alan Parsons Project virtual cover band, whose members are Alejandro Arias (Florencio Varela, Argentina) , Javier Marchante "ShanKara" (Cádiz, Spain) and Xavier Martinez (Barcelona, Spain). The band was formed after the APP cover competition organized by www.the-alan-parsons-project.com with the help of Giorgio Rizzarelli. All 3 components of the band ranked among the best classified videos (including the winner) and decided to continue recording more covers from what they consider some of the best music ever composed. The approach of the band is to stay as faithful and respectful as possible to the originals. Even considering that each of the members is thousands of kilometers away from each other, thanks to some of the latest internet technology, they are able to operate like a real band. As a gift, their double album "The Ravens - Works 2011 / 2019" is available for FREE download @ https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xtx8rcq4qeqqkhp/AAC-1Gk18NhggzmrtAq_8D7ja?dl=0

Aldi dallo Spazio is a music project born in 2015 that combines all together the different musical influences of 5 young musicians from Ravenna. The project aims to keep the spontaneous sound of rock music but wants to break free those barrier created by modern music genres. The sound that stands out takes off from the golden era of progressive rock (being all membersaficionados of bands like Yes, Genesis and PFM) but colored and redefined by old and new influences, skipping from Hendrix to ambient music, from Pink Floyd to Supertramp. From this idea was created QuasAr, a concept album entirely written, recorded and produced by the 5 Aldi members. https://jolly-roger-records.bandcamp.com/album/quasar

The Artists stand for open-mindedness and the curiosity for discovering new musical ideas. By using unconventional song structures comparable to filmmusic the band merges conventional rock elements with experimental, mind-challenging themes.

Oh fantastic taste, Nick :) I've followed you since you followed me (I'm sure there's a song about that...).

Hi Nick, I haven't disappeared completely and thought I should let you know about Albion as I can't see them in your library. They are a female fronted Polish neo-prog band and I think you will enjoy their albums. Their latest You'll Be Mine is a very strong 2018 release. I've also enjoyed Broken Hopes and Wabiąc cienie from their back catalogue which I am exploring.

Hi Nick, please give this one a try: https://strangeconversationsband.bandcamp.com/album/teaching-me-to-fish

Hi Nick, are you having trouble with scrobbling?. I either get lots of multiple scrobbles for the same track or tracks aren't scrobbled. The result is highly inaccurate scrobbling. I keep trying different Apps but they all do the same. If last.fm doesn't scrobble properly then why bother with it. I am seriously considering dumping my account and using my streaming site instead. So don't be surprised if my account disappears all of a sudden. It's been fun for the last 10 years but no more.

Hi Nick, "Evership" released a new album simply entitled "II". Pretty sure you'll hear this one... ;-)

Hi Nick! (Copying from Chris's wall! Sorry it's late and I feel lazy!) Just found two more new albums: "Black Strat Band - Absence" (from Greece) and "Oraton - Concentric Circles" from UK released last year. If I knew about Oraton, this album would have ended up in my top 20 if not top 10! Last week I also found another two from Sweden that are definitely worth a listen: "Octavarium - Out of Time" and "Kaleidoreal - A Life Wasted". Give them a try if you haven't. Cheers!
