Speaking of talented guitar licks, I'm developing a fondness for Alyona Vargasova and fingerstyle guitar in general.

Doesn't hurt that she's easy on the eyes, too, like my characters. ;-)

She's amazing. . . . .

Don't Fall For Me - Sammi Elston

I first saw Sammi at a small local acts showcase concert in Shrewsbury, UK three years ago, lovely girl, with a sweet, interesting voice, and a talented songwriter in her own right.

Chocolat sound track.
That 'minor swing' is super !! And a good interpretation of "Caravan".

Nothing but the Truth

Pineapple Thief

I'm sorry, as much as I love Neal Morse, Nothing but the Truth should have won live album of the year in the prog report reader's choice.

John Miles: music

This one is from a Proms evening 2001. It still sends a shiver up the spine.

Tangerine Dream - Phaedra (1973)

Another prog curiosity I dug out of hubby's somewhat eclectic collection. Big reliance on 70's first gen synthesized BGM and pitchy synth oscillators going in and out of tune, and tape-driven echo machines, a strange and dated but kinda sorta addictive listen. Will has perfect pitch, and the constant pitch changes drove him mad, but I toughed it out, because it's really quite a compelling, interesting album once I got into it, even given the crudeness and obvious instability of the electronics by today's standards. Definitely a product of its time, but not one I would have bought.

Dance With The Dead - Sledge
https://youtu.be/770qoLmHSFA

Can't wait for the new album. Curiously, they seem to veer further and further from "pure" synthwave. This is almost a pure metal track. Cool nonetheless.

@Lori: Tangerine Dream, eh? If you'd like some electronica without the shaky pitch, give Jean-Michel Jarrė's Oxygene a spin. One of my "lost island" records and a huge influence on my own music.

I have that problem too.

It's rare that vocals are 100% on-pitch. Ditto with violins.

And - off-pitch notes are like nails on a chalkboard...

Sazaki Orite Hikari Afure

Project Nayuta

really impressive new prog rock out of Japan - really good musicianship with tight duo female vocalists. Enjoying the rhythm section a lot.

 

[TadOverdon]

In kind of a mood.
The Godfather - remastered soundtrack

 

[litfan10]

Project Nayuta's first album which is completely in Japanese so I have no idea what it is called.

Okay, I really need Blind_Justice or Haulover to listen to the third song on their first album. The style sounds so, so, so very familiar but I can't put my finger on it. I know when someone says it I will be like "THAT'S IT!"
The singers remind me of Nightwish's Tarja.

Black Expression

New instrumental prog from Buenos Aires

Dimmu Borgir : Forces Of The Northern Night

Pretty cool - black metal with strong orchestral backing

I found it on YouTube The 3rd track is "Crystal Dragon" -or クリスタルドラゴン

I couldn't bring any similarities to mind

It has to be amazing when even Dani - who is not a prog-head at all - gives it a glowing recommendation.

Thanks to you and Haulover, btw, we have added both Magic Pie and Karfagen to our collection.

On my plate tonight: A Scandroid playlist
