I went to see Lifesigns last week at Future Yard in Birkenhead! They were brilliant, musically tight and didn’t put a note wrong throughout the whole set! Check this band out if you haven’t heard of them. Melodic prog rock at its best!

Listening to Shells, the new album by Everon. Second time and I think it’s a good album.

I liked The Overview Effect from Jet Black Sea enough to buy it. I thought it would be good to listen to the previous album, Absorption Lines.

And now this album from 2018. The Overview Effect by Jet Black Sea. Very ambient electronic vibe with elements of Tangerine Dream and Pink Floyd.

This arrived in the post today. Friend Of All Creatures, the new album from Pattern-Seeking Animals. Great album without a band note on it!

And now this. Some might argue that Seal isn’t progressive but just listen to his voice, the production and song craft!

I’m new to Mogwai! This is a great album with some real depth and energy to it!

Steven Wilson tonight. Hand. Cannot. Erase! It must be a mood thing with his solo work. Re-listening after initially dismissing it and I quite like this album!

Yet more music from Bandcamp! Big Big Train have been around for a long time and I’m a late comer to the band. Folklore is a great album!
