New release time! I am so sorry I skipped last week as some interesting stuff was released.
I do have to mention the big surprise for me last week which I keep playing. A brand new quartet from New Zealand Grumblewood with their first album "Stories of Strangers." Think early Tull especially from the "Songs from the Woods" period, and you have an good approximation. This is definitely not to say this band is a Tull clone as they are very much their own band. Love them.
Okay on to this week's new music:
The big release was Maruisz Duda from Riverside with the seventh album under his solo project Lunatic Soul "Through the Woods." This is by far the best of Lunatic Soul. Great atmospheric album. Much more traditional than electronic. A very beautiful album. Get the deluxe version - the three additional songs double the length of the album and are gorgeous.
From Argentina comes Rodrigo San Martin with "Arcana (Act 1.) It is an interesting album fairly strong prog with odd additions of horns and stringed instruments that are interjected into the prog rather than be used as their own sound. He likes some dissonance and atonal passages making it a slight challenge to sit back and just listen.
Denmark's Pyramaze released "Epitaph." Good solid heavy prog. In a comparison that will probably make Blind_Justice cringe, its like Symphony X does 80s hair band. The chops are there but the music is pretty basic which is not a bad thing.
I haven't heard the next four...yet:
UK's Mandala with "The Echoes of Your Mind" listed as psychedelic prog folk
Two multinational projects with a bunch of musicians with The Guildmaster and "The Knight and Ghost" and Samurai of Prog with their new release "Beyond the Wardrobe."
Finally from Canada is an instrumental prog album by Intervals called "Circadian."
Happy music listening

Crosby Stills Nash & Young — Deja-Vu. Before that a Bob Dylan mix.

Kristoffer Gildenlöw : Homebound
Nothing like his brother's band.
Daniel G. (Pain Of Salvation) is a certified musical genius IMO, an in person, something of a nutcase. (Purely personal opinion based on several conversations.)
But Kristoffer G.'s album is excellent in its own way.

Lord of the Lost - Swan Symphonies III. Doing some technical work and instrumental-classical is just right for that; voices get distracting.

A Dire Straits playlist
I'm trying to understand their appeal. Sure, their music is nice to listen to, but probably too subtle for my Death Metal-destroyed earholes. Knopfler isn't what I'd call a particularly versatile singer. Needs more research.

Best appreciated on a worn-out mix tape made by one's sweetheart.
(Yeah, a lot of the time Knopfler isn't even singing, just talking along with the music. But one of my first crushes put me onto Dire Straits, so they have sentimental value, even though I haven't listened to them in years.)
