Simon Says Sweden
Simon Says debuted with Ceinwen in 1995. They since have released three albums: Paradise Square (2002), Tardigrade (2008)
and Siren Songs (2011).
Their music is rooted in the mid 70:s blend of classical, jazz, folk and rock, but with a modern edge, weighing heavily on an array of keyboards, odd time signatures and multiple melodies.
Contractual obligations allow only two releases on this site.

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis.

Surprisingly good. As may be expected from 2 members of a Pink Floyd tribute band, "Rain" invites comparisons to PF's concept albums and Roger Waters' solo work. Recommended listening for anybody who was disappointed by Endless River!

Land of Green and Gold (Hi Res 24/48)
by Karfagen
supported by 6 fans who also own “Pilgrim's Progress”
Ukrainian musician/composer/producer Antony Kalugin is amazingly prolific. Amongs all his other projects this was already the 13th Karfagen album (released in early 2022). Of course, a new one is ready to see the light of day in early 2023 ;-) This album is (as all his stuff) clearly 70s oriented, "golden-era prog", extremely rich in melodies and arrangement ideas. Some jazzy, folky, classical influences included and very well sounding, too :-) Almost disappeared in the deep wishlist 8-o

Titan Agronomist Project Volume 2 - A Juggernaut that Cannot Be Stopped
by Randy M. Salo
Marauding symphonic metal that pairs stampeding riffs with castle-size organ and tremendous blasts of brass.

Dwellers of the Deep
by Wobbler
supported by 6 fans who also own “Pilgrim's Progress”
This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass.
