Pretty long listening session last night.
Mario Millo - Epic III
Beautiful progressive music by this great Australian guitarist. For fans of YES and Camel.
Banco - Di Terra
Possibly the best example of (progressive) rock with orchestra. It was composed from the ground up as an integrated piece, not just an orchestra playing along with a rock band. Musically it is in the 20th century school, not romantic or classical periods.
Alan Holdsworth - Metal Fatigue
No one is better than Mr. Holdsworth.
IQ - Nomzamo
Not their best, but the 3 good songs on it are REAL good.
The Fents - First Offense
Great fusion by this LA band. The played all over town in the 80's. Led by keyboardist Adam Holtzman (later to play with Miles Davis) and Guitarist Ted Hall, these guys could play. And they had a great musical sense of humor.
