There have been lots of questions lately about the future of #Seaprog and #Cascadence. After much consideration and discussion, we've come up with a plan. In short, no 2026 festival, but a series of smaller events. For details, see: seaprogfest.org/2025/12/09/w...

New #review today: "#RudyAdrian is a master of cinematic sounds, and every new release takes the listener along on a journey into a previously unknown world, one of landscapes, mountains, forests, and snow-covered bluffs that fall right into the ocean. No doubt that […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "#LImperoDelleOmbre, or Empire of Shadows in English, is an Italian #DoomMetal band that labels their music as cemetery rock. They formed in 1995 but did not release their first album until 2004. Oscuritá is their fourth studio album, as well as […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "#DerekShulman has a unique vantage point for talking about music, having been a member of #SimonDupree and the Big Sound and #GentleGiant, then an executive at various record labels. He has definitely seen it from both sides — creative and business […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "The sounds #Kronstad23 presents are potent and powerful, sometimes gentle and other times revved up, always seeming a bit like freewheeling, well-rehearsed improvisations." #ExposeOnline #psychedelicrock#exposeonline#kronstad23#reviewtp://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/kronstad-23-sommermorket-3.html

New #review today: "f you’ve been following along, #AshleyReaks has gone from the experimental and confrontational #ArtRock of Compassion Fatigue (1-8) through various steps towards somewhat more conventional compositions on Winter Crawls and The Body Blow of Grief […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "It’s been a while since the last #RevolutionarySnakeEnsemble album, Live Snakes from 2014, but #KenField and company are back with Serpentine, which was also recorded live (mostly). But with music like this, live is probably the way to go." […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "We’ve been reviewing the work of the #ClaudioScolari Project for some time now, since the 2019 album Upside Down, and all the while this has been a quartet of Claudio Scolari, Daniele Cavalca, trumpeter Simone Scolari, and bassist Michele Cavalca […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "There is no shortage of amazing bassists in the world these days, and when you make your list that includes #MohiniDey, #AntoineFafard, #UdoPannekeet, #MichaelPipoquinha, and the rest, make sure that #BarendTromp is included. Odd Time Concepts may […] [Original post on mas.to]

#Seaprog alumni #Zhongyu have a new album out. Here's a review.

New #review today: "Time really flies; it seems like just a few years ago that #Zhongyu released their debut album "Zhongyu" Is Chinese For "Finally" on #MoonjuneRecords, but in truth it’s been a full nine years. During that time the band has shrunk from a quintet to […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "Six years after releasing their debut album, the Italian heavy #ProgMetal band #LaJanara released their second full length album, Le Donne Magiche, in May 2025. Over the years La Janara has matured their sound, distancing themselves from the dark […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "#DaveBainbridge has done an excellent job of defining a musical aesthetic over the years, carving out a niche where lush symphonic #ProgressiveRock meets romantic Celtic mysticism, and the result is often albums of epic proportions. On the Edge (of […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "#EblenMacari's Un Producto de los Sesentas was originally released in 1981, and it’s a thoroughly engaging album which richly deserves this reissue on #AzafránMedia. Macari’s guitar work is the star here, sometimes in lovely solo pieces, but also […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "As far as I’m aware, Curandero is #SteveRoach’s first collaboration with #Soriah, and the six tracks herein move into the deep ritualistic and tribal territory where Roach has been many times before, though this time it goes far beyond previous […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "Nirmata, the Sanskrit word for architect or creator, is the title of the latest #Sendelica album. As both #PeteBingham and #ColinConsterdine have had a rough year healthwise, Colin dealing with liver cancer and Pete dealing with issues from an […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "Friday, September 3rd, 2010 at The Night of the Prog V festival in Germany, #Galahad gave this outstanding performance of six of their best pieces. It would be the last time that bassist Neil Pepper, who at the time had been diagnosed with cancer […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "#Cadlag presents a very different kind of drone, which could be characterized as #IndustrialNoise. There are certainly long tones, but they are heavily distorted, very loud, and very intense. Most of the time. There are moments of relative calm to […] [Original post on mas.to]

This is not a click-bait headline. In fact, the phrase "utterly insane" is an understatement. Another underlying factor that's only touched upon tangentially is the lobbying power of the corporations who are profiting off of the current system. Our current mess is a direct consequence of skewed […]

New #review today: "After the release of The English EP, a lovely little gem of jangly #PowerPop, #MegaDodoRecords has a full LP of music by #TheJacks (at least that’s what they’re calling it — at 18 minutes, it’s really another EP)." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "With a title like EH Gorilla Ltd Atomic Engineering and Mobile Library, you might expect #AlanJenkins' latest album to be #PsychedelicRock or silly, or some combination of the two. There is certainly an air of psychedelia about the music, but […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "When he steps away from the hard-hitting boogie rock of #Datura4, guitarist #DomMariani shows other sides of his musical taste. There was surf rock on Hi Seas, and on Apple of Life it’s #PowerPop. If you love catchy melodies backed by rocking […] [Original post on mas.to]

I've seen multiple studies showing that economies do better in democratic countries than in autocracies. So why would business leaders support politicians with autocratic ambitions? I'm putting it down to greed, because in an autocracy the economy as a whole may lag, but those who are in with […]

New #review today: "#MagicPie is now up to their sixth album, and once again, it’s a tasty set of music that’s infused with a lot of the sounds of classic 70s rock that doesn’t sound nostalgic. Of course, nostalgia is in the eye of the beholder, but there are enough […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "When we last caught up with Norwegian composer and guitarist #ErikWøllo earlier this year, he had just released his panoramic epic Where the River Widens, something unexpected and quite beautiful. His latest, Aeris Suite, is a completely different […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "The #BlackCatsEye is a German band with a different take on #SpaceRock than I’ve heard lately. Rather than basing their music on riffs, they take more after #ManuelGöttsching, with almost #motorik rhythms and a sense of drama that draws from […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "A couple years before the turn of the century, #JonJenkins’ Flow was released. We reviewed that original version back in our printed issue #17, but that was way back then. Now, some 27 years after its original release, it has found new life in a […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "A Strange Loop is a collection of pieces written by #TimHarrison, who has been working in soundtracks and sound design for television for a while, and the music certainly sounds like it would work as a soundtrack for film. As the title implies […] [Original post on mas.to]

New review today: "From the launch of his solo career in ‘68, to his time with #CannedHeat, #JohnMayall, and The #RollingStones, #HarveyMandel has always been an innovator, bringing new techniques and stylings to the world of #BluesRock based electric guitar. In March […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "An album by #Buñuel, as far as I can tell, is a deep dive into intense and noisy rock. There’s also a lot of screaming involved. Now, screaming is not something that generally appeals to me, especially not in large doses, but in this case it seems […] [Original post on mas.to]

New #review today: "#CarolOfHarvest was a band that played what might be called #AcidFolk. Their only LP came out in ‘78 on a local label with only 200 copies. Much of what one hears on the album could easily pass for a sound produced a decade earlier, with acoustic […] [Original post on mas.to]

New review today: "#NealRosner was the bassist in #McLuhan, and after Anomaly, he went on to medical school and a career outside of music. Lately, after retiring from that, he’s returned to music, and the reissue of his 1999 solo album Love Isn’t the Answer is part of […] [Original post on mas.to]

"Unlike legacy media, most influencer-driven online media is free to the consumer, supported through ads, sponsorships, and revenue-sharing models. Traditional media, by contrast, often sits behind paywalls. Findings from Pew Research Center indicate that just 17 percent of Americans paid for […]

New #review today: "#StarayaDerevnya, or #СтараяДеревня as they were on their earliest recordings, is the name of a British and Israeli aggregation of musicians that numbers anywhere between five and seven... Frankly, this is probably one of the strangest albums I’ve […] [Original post on mas.to]
