Genesis of Genius

Spock's Beard began in 1992 when brothers Neal (lead vocals) and Al Morse (guitar) teamed up with drummer Nick D'Virgilio. After self-financing their first album, bassist Dave Meros joined, and The Light was recorded in 1994. Consisting of four lengthy songs, this debut album was well received by progressive rock fans, but received little public acclaim…

HECENIA introduces the listener to an original, romantic and lyrical music built upon somptuous and sophisticated developments. Thierry BRANDET is a real keyboards virtuoso, a genius in the same vein as Keith EMERSON or Rick WAKEMAN, with a true and personal inspiration. Let's note that Jean-Paul TRUTET (Vocals) and his brother Daniel (Guitar) were once part of ELOHIM. "L‚gendes" (1989) revealed HECENIA as a master of new French Progressive rock music: made of GENESIS-like classicism and YES-like complexity, it also revealed a true personnality…

A riddle wrapped in an enigma dressed up in leather and studs, Germany's Mekong Delta perplexed the heavy metal world both by playing an unconventional brand of progressive thrash and by keeping the identities of the bandmembers secret for the first five years of a career starting in 1987…

In the history of Bach’s musical legacy, the St John Passion has always stood in the shadow of the St Matthew Passion. The repercussions of the first revival of the St Matthew after Bach’s death, which took place in Berlin under the direction of the twenty-year-old Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, decisively contributed to gaining it a unique position. But at the same time the great success of the St Matthew aroused a wider interest in Bach’s large-scale vocal works that initially benefited the St John Passion above all.

It’s truly music without barriers and one of the most breathtaking musical experiences in contemporary music. I don’t know what genius is but Kalmuk will do until a decent definition comes along. -Jazzwise.

2nd album from the truly impressive USA Prog Rock band founded by the talented multi-instrumentalist/composer/producer/engineer Shane Atkinson! EVERSHP are a league ahead of much of the new Prog bands we get to hear these days – with influences from the divide that crosses between GENESIS, YES, KANSAS and QUEEN, this band are something SPECIAL! The EVERSHIP sound just oozes quality - The keyboards are melodic and symphonic, yet edgy and dramatic at the same time; the guitars range from powerful to sensitive and the rhythm section – much in the same way as YES – runs the gamut of tight and driving to sensitive and atmospheric. The standard of musicianship is high; the compositions are classy with quality production, ranging through melodic, hook-laden songs with incredible anthemic choruses and gentle ballads, with plenty in the way of bombastic, complex arrangements with extended instrumental arrangements going on in-between.

Sublime, brilliant, beautiful progressive art rockers with a Canterbury vibe and masterful extended tracks. Elements of Caravan, Soft Machine and Fuchsia, recorded in a London and Dublin studio in 1973 for a planned LP that never happened. 15 minute tracks that allow the band and compositions to develop and expand in the best way, sheer unadulterated progressive genius. Marvelous Kid are named after a line from Kipling, and use the one L spelling. They gigged constantly with bands like The Groundhogs,Stackridge, Stonehouse, Gentle Giant, and included members from the legendary Grannie and also Patto. Anyone into Genesis, Soft Machine, Caravan, Camel, Fuchsia, 25 Views Of Worthing et al should check this out. It's utterly brilliant extended prog. Seelie Court will issue more of their recordings soon. It's a joy to listen to this 100% authentic prog rock, from original reels.
