Currently checking out Pictures by #HamaSaari.
I'd describe their music as dreamy, mellow #ProgRock, #Alcest'ey in places and some (late) #Anathema, too.
I found a few paperbacks in a repurposed phonebox on my way to a job, which wasn't that unusual. However, one of them had a contact address for Emerson Lake & Palmer in the back of it, which is a bit odd. #paperbacks#progrock#emersonlakeandpalmer
Les Penning & Robert Reed - The Christmas Collection (2025)
The album contains 23 tracks, together for the first time on a single album, including 4 brand new recordings. The opening track, a brand new reworking of the Greg Lake classic ‘I Believe In Father Christmas’ and features the amazing vocals of Peter Jones (Camel/Tiger Moth Tales/Cyan) and Angharad Brinn (Sanctuary/Cyan).
Today is my last day of vacation, back to work tomorrow. I'm going to spend some more time listening to Spidergawd. I spent months trying to remember who this band was (I remembered the album cover, but not who made the album). So glad I finally found them.
OK, a bit of a change in gear today; Pink Floyd's long-form Echoes (over 20 mins) is a really interesting testament to how progressive rock changed the way pop music was configured. This mesmerising, slow-burn piece is dreamy & atmospheric which slowly builds with vocals that are hardly central to the piece & includes a funky mid-section. Very much part of my mid-70's teenage years.
This week's #vinyl#record harvest from thrift and antiques. First, the homerun. Peter Seiler. I looked at the back and it listed a bunch of #synths from the #80s such as the #Yamaha#dx7 and #rx11#drummachine. Hadn't heard of the artist, but decided to buy it unheard. It was a whole $5 but hey... #electronica#music!
It is great, beats my expectations. Sounds excellent. Another #DeutscheAustrophone record. This copy is for US market, bilingual #German and English. Jacket printed in Canada.
Second album I found, this one I saw Arp #synths in the back, same label (Egg) as Heldon, also French. Quick search on phone said prog rock, but I was thinking Patrick Moraz (keyboardist, ex Yes). It was more like acoustic guitar prog rock on one side and full on guitar ambient on the other. Light synths, not what I was expecting. Might have to trade this one. Will need a second listen #progrock#vinylVinylRecords group#music cool cover at least to Alain Markusfeld's album
The Fediverse seems like a good place to find collabs, which are very much our thing!
We've seen our music in films, games, or at exhibitions. We have been remixed (gladly) and also we like to reimagine compositions of others, or work with guest soloists, #gamelan, or visual artists.
From 1976, includes some electric violins, so don't expect the Miami Vice soundtrack. Jan plays the Moog, Polymoog, Oberheim and Oberheim Voice #synths#moog#vinyl#lp
Oh yeah album playing on a Technics SL1200 turntable. Album sleeve straight on the dust cover, against the wall
Last night I watched a Finnish #film called (in English) After Us, the Flood.
It brings together climate change, tech bro hubris, toxic masculinity, generational trauma, class, time travel, and nerdiness about #progrock.
So folk sharing my corner of the fediverse might like it, I thought.
made a quick video that possibly shows the incredibly gay lumpy space rock simulator in action, that is if you can see it (i haven't had much success with moving pictures on here before) :neocat_laugh_sweat:
a very irregular lumpy space rock hangs in an emerald sky above a dark green and purple ridge. it is brightly patterned in swirls of white, light blue, pink, and hot pink. the hot pink swirl looks sort of like an exclamation mark!
So many notes - the one album by this #piano player. Hectic and adventurous. Recorded and released when he was 18, it is the only work by him. He was later tracked down after being reported as missing by his family in 2002.
“Katarzyna Kozyra, the Polish artist and filmmaker, met Szobel in Jerusalem while working on her project called "Looking for Jesus" (Polish: Szukając Jezusa), a film about people with a condition known as Jerusalem Syndrome. Szobel agreed to record the conversation, but you cannot see his face in Kozyra's movie. He was living like a homeless man, eating what he could find in the streets, but still being an artist”
I am a digital #artist working in #krita, making work with a somewhat subconcious process, featuring strange ethereal beings, demons, and wizards. I am inspired by #weird#SciFi and #fantasy art of the 1970s and 80s, perhaps not unrelated to my love of #ProgRock and #HeavyMetal and #psychedelic music
I boost art that I enjoy, and I hope you will too :))
Enjoying this collection of remastered tracks from Key 13, leans heavy on the prog rock with a few in a more ambient experimental direction.
Missing a couple of my favourites by him but a great entry point and also worth hearing the new versions for existing fans. https://key13.bandcamp.com/album/pretentious-incongruity
