There s no better way to start off a year for a progressive rock fan than with a new supergroup. Dave Kerzner, well known from Sound of Contact and his growing solo career, announced his new project In Continuum last year. Joining this new musical outfit are vocalist Gabriel Agudo (exBad Dreams) and Randy McStine (The Fringe, Lo-Fi Resistance), along with (fellow) Sound of Contact member Matt Dorsey on bass and the ubiquitous Marco Minnemann on drums as well as a handful of more than special guests. While leading the writing of the album, Kerzner shares composition duties throughout, even incorporating some music co-written with his former Sound of Contact bandmates that was meant for that group s second album that never happened.

"Acceleration Theory" is the debut progressive rock concept album of "In Continuum", a new band created by Dave Kerzner (Sound of Contact), featuring Kerzner on keys and vocals with fellow SOC bandmate Matt Dorsey on bass, Randy McStine (The Fringe, SOC) on guitar, Gabriel Agudo (Steve Rothery Band) on vocals and Marco Minnemann (Steven Wilson) on drums. The album also features special guests Steve Hackett (Genesis), Nick D'Virgilio (Big Big Train), John Wesley (Porcupine Tree), Fernando Perdomo (Dave Kerzner Band), Leticia Wolf (Dead Deads), Jon Davison (Yes), Steve Rothery (Marillion) and more!

Nowell, Nowel, Noel - on their new release, Sing thee Nowell, New York Polyphony sings of, and to, the birth of Christ in a typically sophisticated programme which fuses the ancient with the modern into a seamless whole. Seven centuries of Christmas passes before the listener with new works composed for these performers by Michael McGlynn, Andrew Smith and John Scott alongside traditional medieval and Renaissance carols and motets by Clemens 'non Papa', Philippe Verdelot and Tomás Luis de Victoria.
