Description/Reviews:

In this latest collection, the Regal Worm has created a monumental quintych. Two eighteen minute-plus guardians bookending a trio of short unruly children, to prevent them from escaping and setting fire to things.
Birthed once again in Pig View studio (a vintage equipment-crammed garret of wonder); aided by choicest heavy friends, the new album knits dark, playful lyricism with rhythmic, angular, multi-layered PROG sound buds. Indeed, a distillation of the highly detailed, anarchic and lysergic tingle of 'Use And Ornament', the critically acclaimed debut from last year.

Description/Reviews:

Blake Carpenter best known for his progressive rock band The Minstrel's Ghost and his work with progressive band Corvus Stone is at it again with a new side project entitled “Voice of the Enslaved.” This project is for all free thinkers, those who can read between the lines, those who can see through all the lies that we are told every day. From conspiracy theories to reality we are inundated with threats of the total loss of the freedoms we are entitled to at birth. We are manipulated and conned by the governments of the world and forced into slavery by the corporations that control them. These issues are not political issues they are about the struggle of the human race to be free from servitude, about the will and need to survive.The mainstream music industry all around the world is now producing stale, monotonous music and feeding it to you in commercials, television shows, movies and more. They are undoubtedly one of the co-conspirators in this dumbing down and brainwashing of the human mind that leads us all into slavery.

Mathias Danielsson (Gösta Berlings Saga) - Guitar
Ronny Eriksson (Magnolia) - Bass
Nicklas Barker (Anekdoten) - Guitar
Daniel Fridlund Brandt - Drums

Description/Reviews:

This is what space rock is all about folks. Music of this nature is supposed to take you on a journey, allowing the listener to close their eyes and let the sounds carry you off into another dimension, and Once There Was A Time When Time And Space Were One clearly does that, and then some.

... the album has that 'classic' sound from start to finish, tracks like the two part "Song of Innocence" taking you back to vintage era Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, and Ash Ra Tempel with the waves of slashing guitars, throbbing rhythms, and pulsating keyboard washes. ... "Into the Cosmic Halo" just soars, with guitar work that reminds of some of the best of Steve Hillage, while "Garden of Delights" builds and builds with intensity to s stunning climax, almost like a lost track from the Pink Floyd Ummagumma album.

"Signal to Noise” is a fine, modern, progressive work, which draws on Andy Jackson’s exemplary work as an engineer and producer.

Andy explains; "The album reflects on the sorting of what is important in life from the humdrum of everyday existence, and is in itself an analogy for the process of the creation of the album”.

Description/Reviews:

The freakish debut album by Schizoid Lloyd - a Dutch progressive metal unit whose incredible musical hodgepodge of interests shine through within moments of the 57-minute release – effortlessly hopping from Queen-fueled vocal harmonies to Mr. Bungle lounging to Leprous progression to short outbursts of lunar insanity and even a dash of singer-songwriter sensitivity and white boy rap (when required). Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart would be very, very proud.
