A year ago (longer?) I caught a performance of Radiohead on a TV show called From the Basement.  Its an amazing performance (in HD and all) but, alas, my Tivo died and I lost the recording.  Well, a portion is available on their website From the Basement     From the Basement an incredible show if …

Steven Wilson and kscope have introduced me to a lot of music over the years.  So, why not a podcast?  This one is worth a listen as it’s accomplished via an introductory (and closing) interview with Steven.  Lots of interesting commentary including status of the Insurgentes movie.  Also, a couple of nice songs from North …

Ambient, progressive, post rock.  One can put a lot of labels on this Italian band.  I simply like it.  At times I hear Eno, Floyd, 801, and others.  But progress the time chart to 2010 and you have their latest album A Sense of Loss.  And despite the mellow nature of this music I suggest …

See The Incident, live in a town near you

Porcupine Tree will return to North America in April for the second leg of the Incident tour, concentrating on many cities that were not included on the first leg. Of course, I will make the 3 hour trek to Charlotte. It’s odd there is nothing on the west coast (sorry John) but perhaps that’s where …

Katatonia – Night is the New Day

Categories:

Re-Categorize, Uncategorized

by

I love Opeth and the trail they have blazed in metal.  So when I saw a quote from Mikael Akerfeldt stating something positive about the new Katatonia album (see quote at end of post) I ordered it up immediately.  The Opeth influence is strong but perhaps that’s because both bands are from Sweden.  I know …

Check out this Dutch Progressive Rock Page.  I was just in Haarlem, Holland and had the great fortune to see Pineapple Thief  open for Riverside at a club called the Patronaat (of course these aren’t Dutch bands.  they are from Poland and the UK respectively).  I promise a review in the near future but suffice …
