CELESTE (ITALY) Echi di un Future Passato
by rogue | May 7, 2024 | Latest News
Two words to start: flute and mellotron. If for whatever odd reason, these two instruments are not among your favourites, please stop reading promptly. Phew, now that we got that out of the way, Celeste will always be remembered for their luminous 1976 debut album...

CRISTIANO VARISCO (BRAZIL) Aline
by rogue | Apr 14, 2024 | Latest News
There is nothing more enjoyable for the Rogue than receiving review requests from artists around the world, who invariably deserve very much to be heard and, in most cases, applauded for their talent, often far removed from the ultra-packaged, hyper-polished fluff of...
ANDROID (HUNGARY) Wordless Scriptum
by rogue | Apr 11, 2024 | Latest News
I am totally proud of being a huge fan of this Hungarian band since their East of Eden debut in 2009 , not because we share the same language and culture but mainly because they have progressed over the years, not only constantly fine tuning their craft but also for...
RIVERSEND (USA) same
by rogue | Apr 8, 2024 | Latest News
What makes the perpetual search for a new source of musical pleasure such a thrill, is when you land on something with zero background, or any kind of advance notice. Such is my chance meeting on an innocuously dull day with Riversend, absently surfing the proggier...

Matt Smith’s World: Into The Light (2023)
by Kev Rowland | Apr 1, 2024 | Reviews
I must confess that I am sent a lot of music which can take time to get inside, whether it be avant-garde, technical death metal, jazz or prog, so sometimes the ears relax into a smile when they realise what is being played can be enjoyed the first time through...
Madre Vaca: Knights of the Round Table (2023)
by Kev Rowland | Apr 1, 2024 | Reviews
When I was young, I was fascinated by the stories of King Arthur, Galahad, Guinevere and others, and I am sure this is why I named my first GSD, Merlin. Then of course came Rick Wakeman and his astonishingly ambitious and incredible first two albums, and from then on,...

WHAT”S GOIN’ ON
- Carmen – The Albums 1973-1975 [3CD Boxset]by Basil Francis on May 6, 2024 at 5:00 pm
A few months ago, I reviewed Patterns on the Window, a set that I hoped would introduce me to dozens of little-known progressive artists from the 70s – after all, it had ‘progressive’ in the subtitle. But as wave after…
- The Blackheart Orchestra / Foxpalmerby Chris Simmons (Photographer) on May 5, 2024 at 5:00 pm
Arts Centre, Helmsley, North Yorkshire Friday, 19th April 2024 Tonight’s adventure involves the Friday traffic on the A19 from Newcastle to the picturesque market town of Hemsley in North Yorkshire. We arrived a little earlier than planned which gave us…
- Elephant9 – Mythical Riverby Mel Allen on May 4, 2024 at 5:00 pm
Norway’s Elephant9 return with a new album, guaranteed to pique your interest, and this is certainly the case for me having been on a writing hiatus due to the loss of my great friend and TPA editor Jez Rowden. So,…
- Various Artists – Reimagining The Court Of The Crimson Kingby Colin Smoult on May 3, 2024 at 5:00 pm
This release caught my attention primarily because of some of the musicians and singers featured on it, and Todd Rundgren being involved was certainly a huge personal bonus for me. It is, as the title implies, a ‘tribute’ project to…
- UK Pink Floyd Experienceby Phil Lively on May 2, 2024 at 5:00 pm
Central Theatre, Chatham Friday, 19th April 2024 I don’t often go and see tribute bands. It’s not that I’m some weird purist who disapproves of tribute acts, far from it! If the band that originally created the music is no…
- Cephid – Sparks In The Darknessby James R. Turner (Guest) on May 1, 2024 at 5:00 pm
Cephid will be a new name to us all here at TPA, however this debut album released in February this year is the culmination of years of solo work by talented keyboard player Moray Macdonald, who will be familiar to…
- Poly-Math / Big Lad / Kylie Monologueby Roger Trenwith on April 30, 2024 at 5:00 pm
Signature Brew, Blackhorse Road, London Saturday, 20th April 2024 For once in this Biblically wet year, a dry and even occasionally sunny day precedes another trip to the capital for me, where I meet up with my gig-going companion and…
- Ellesmere – Stranger Skiesby Graham Thomas on April 29, 2024 at 5:00 pm
Ellesmere is a project masterminded by Italian multi-instrumentalist Roberto Vitelli. You may have come across them, as their last album, Wyrd, caused a bit of a stir in prog circles at the end of 2020. Latest release Stranger Skies, in…
- Nektar – Journey To The Other Sideby Basil Francis on April 28, 2024 at 5:00 pm
After being unexpectedly floored by my first listen to Recycled, I seem to have precariously placed myself as the Nektar correspondent at TPA… at least for the time being. Jumping from the band’s heyday straight into the present was probably…
- Wheel – Charismatic Leadersby Phil Lively on April 27, 2024 at 5:00 pm
It was so refreshing to see an album offered for review to TPA with such a pithy name. There’s none of this multisyllabic name nonsense, like Distended Algorithm or Beelzebub’s Hoover, this is the least Proggy name I’ve seen in…
