Almost a year and a half after the first one, I bring you a redesigned, brand new flowchart to one of my favorite bands – Anathema! Had to update it to include their latest record, but started from scratch since giving the band only one starting point didn’t feel like the right choice, so changed it to three. Plus, now I used a more, uh, professional tool rather than MS Paint so it looks nicer. And finally, included a little bio about them.
Hope you find it useful! Continue reading
It took a bit more of time than expected, but here it is! As a big fan of Anathema, I felt this great band needed a flowchart to their awesome music, especially considering all the many stylistic changes they’ve gone through the years. Continue reading
The Hsu-nami have a unique sound, because, besides some proggy guitar work and drumming, they include an Erhu – a traditional Chinese instrument. How does it sound? Imagine the Kung Fu Panda soundtrack, but with a prog take. And equally epic.
It baffles me how unknow they are, given they’ve played in festivals, and even one of their songs was featured in the Beijing Olympics! But they seem to be working on their next album now, which I hope it’s out before year’s end. In the meantime, check the following tune – one of their finest compositions.

As weird a mix it might sound, the duo iamthemorning turn their talent for making passionate, heartfelt chamber music, with their love for prog – they’ve even covered Opeth songs.
Subtle strings, pianos, and ocassional guitars flow with Marjana’s angelical voice. Currently my favorite band from Russia – even great artists like Danny Cavanagh and Gavin Harrison have praised them.
The following song is the opener to their sophomore album, one of my favorite records of last year. The prog, and even some rock, is strong on this one.
Enjoy.

I found this guy on Jamendo some years ago, and fell in love with his stuff, and been following closely since then. Although I really enjoy most of Ruined Machine‘s albums and projects, I think Pressure & Obsession is his best output yet. Continue reading
Take Porcupine Tree, Marillion, Pink Floyd, add some electronic elements, and you may start to grasp the unique sound that this 4-piece accomplished on The Dark Third – an album about the third of our lives we spend sleeping. Continue reading
