Laser's Edge

A.T.M. are basically a duo of dual keyboards & guitar + guests on drums & more. With rich, quickly moving keyboard passages & interesting themes. Highly recommended, if you are at all interested in symphonic-styled progressive.

The sixth release by this always-dependable band consisting of keyboardists Rick Eddy and Tim Drumheller plus guest musicians, most of whom appear on this on every song, giving this a completely 'band' sound, as opposed to a 'two-man band' sound. This ...

Very excellent Swedish retro-progressive hard rock band that makes all the right moves with all the right sounds. A tremendously fun release.

Fourth and best-so-far album by this really great progressive, technical metal, math-rock instrumental quintet. Using guitars, multi-keyboards, bass and drums, their sound is somewhere between Behold...The Arctopus, The Fucking Champs, Gordian Knot...

Fourth and perhaps the best yet by this great, young, instrumental, math-metal-progressive outfit. This is by far their 'proggiest' sounding, but in a way that keeps the interesting parts of their previous albums while adding a new dimension. I saw...

Crazy price on a great, creative and crazy album. This is 70% off the regular price!!

"The landscape of progressive rock continues to evolve. As the dinosaur bands fade away a new breed of thought provoking artistry has emerged. Bands like Porcupine Tree, Tool, Riverside, and Anathema are not about complexity or grandiose arrangements....

Really great, really interesting and utterly unique Swedish metal-and-far-beyond group who combine Louis Jordan jump-jive with female vocals ala the Andrew Sisters and male vocals ala Sleepytime Gorilla Museum plus metal guitars. Yowzah - what a crazy...

Freak Kitchen is a amazing cross between technical metal and humor. The players are excellent and versatile; I wasn't able to make it happen as part of our Hollmer DVD release, but leader/guitarist Mattias Eklundh performed with Mats/Morgan Band and...

In 1999, former Cynic bassist Sean Malone stunned the metal and progressive rock world with the debut release of his Gorian Knot project. Three years in the making, the follow up album Emergent pushes the envelope even further. Perhaps heavier and even...

"Not content to simply stick to a musical formula, Knight Area will surprise their fanbase with Nine Paths. While remaining firmly faithful to the symphonic rock tradition, the band has gone one step further and added a harder edge to their sound....

"Realm Of Shadows is the third album from the Dutch masters of symphonic rock. Knight Area creates harder edged progressive rock in the vein of Arena, Marillion, and Dream Theater. This latest effort is a conceptual work about a metaphysical journey...

Do you remember where you were the first time you heard The Snow Goose"? "Subterranea"? "Selling England By The Pound"? You will never forget the first time you hear Knight Area's "The Sun Also Rises"! This conceptual work was conceived over a period o...

A Liquid Landscape from The Netherlands is a bit of a departure for The Laser's Edge. Their slice of post-progressive music has a contemporary edge that finds them sitting alongside bands like Dredg, Anathema, and Porcupine Tree. The band has been a...

"Without abandoning the sense of melody and dynamics that remain the Magenta trademark, Metamorphosis sees the band taking a darker, more intense path with powerful, sometimes disturbing subject matter. "I think this album is going to surprise a lot of..

Fifth great album - I think it's obvious that this is the best one yet - from this French crazy/wild/humourous power trio. Of course they can play fast and furious with great ease, but the thing that makes Morglbl special and not just another great set...

Morglbl were previously known as Ze Mörglbl Trio and under that name released two very excellent albums that fused hard fusion with an even heavier edge, but also with a zany, Frank Zappa-influenced humor. After touring all over the place, the band...

"Their music comes close to fitting the description of heavy metal jazz since it is quite rock-ish and filled with explosive group improvisations based loosely around themes. There is certainly no lack of fire in these performances. Listeners who think...

Riverside burst out of the Polish progressive rock scene with their very good, modern prog album "Out of Myself" a decade ago. While the band has continued to work hard and has reached ever greater acclaim, in many ways, the atmospheric/spacey/heavy...

A modern Polish progressive band who are comparable to Porcupine Tree and who will be performing at NEARfest 2005. "Riverside is a way of expressing reflections, dreams and fantasies through music. It is an idea for exposing emotions, for an escape fro...

A very little known, but very high quality fusion album from 1978 from the one-time guitarist of Boston's 'beloved-but-never-quite-famous ' artsy rock outfit Orchestra Luna. This is totally different and will especially appeal to guitar head fusion fans..

This is an unbelievable bargain on one of the four titles released during the lifetime of this seminal and perennially popular Danish jazz/rock bands. If you dig Weather Report, etc, you have to own this, especially at this remarkable price!

Excellent new release, which I found to be a significant improvement on their first. While it's obviously symphonic progressive rock, it's also very modern and aggressive sounding & doesn't sound dated. A quintet consisting of vocals, guitars, piano/sy...

Quite excellent Norwegian technical metal band. Now, metal is not normally my thing, but when you hear it being done in such an over the top manner, with really great ideas & musicianship such as here, well, I think it transcends the genre. Recommended...
