Welcome Musa! Enjoy your stay here. :)

Progressive rock musician Andrew Roussak was born in 1968 in the Russian town of Ufa. In 2011, after playing in numerous bands and getting quite a lot of experience as a studio musician, he moved to Germany where he has settled down. So far he has released four solo albums and two as member of...

Welcome to MIMF, Wilmatedwards. Enjoy the forum!

Luciferian Towers (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, 2017) Luciferian Towers is the sixth studio album by Canadian post-rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor. It follows quickly (for their standards) after the less impressive Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress of 2015, and marks a welcome return to...

Resistance (IQ, 2019) Resistance is the twelfth studio album by the British neo-progressive rock band IQ. It is a double CD with a playing time of 108 minutes (the average song length is about 10 minutes). More importantly, it is another top notch neo-prog album, largely in the style of its...

The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories) (Steven Wilson, 2013) The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories) is the third solo album by British musician Steven Wilson. It is generally seen as his homage to the progressive rock greats of the seventies, from King Crimson to...

Disconnected (Airbag, 2016) Disconnected is the fourth studio album of Norwegian progressive rock band Airbag. No further developments, this is pretty much in the same style as their first three albums, with Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree as main influences. But the songs are great (perhaps...

It's been about 10 years between the post I made a few hours ago and the post before that, so maybe I should re-introduce myself, even though I've been a member here since 2006. I'm Dutch, retired from an industrial R&D management position in 2012, and now running an art gallery in the main...

Copy/paste from my blog: Book reviews are not a topic for this blog, but rock music is - so here we go. This is a work of love if I ever saw one. Rusty Southwick, a classic rock and music lover from Oregon (USA), has compiled a list of 17,800 important songs by 4,156 artists, covering six...

Three years after their very worthwhile debut album No secrets, German prog metal band Dorian Opera have returned with a masterpiece. Crusade 1212 is a fascinating concept album with a tragic opera-like storyline, inspired by the historical Children's crusade. The original four members are still...

The recently released Blue Intermezzzo is the second album of Andrew Roussak - I have reviewed his debut (No Trespassing) before here. One of my few complaints about that debut was the bewildering mix of styles - well, for his second, he has opted for a solo piano record which indeed makes for a...

QUOTE from the artist: Nazatron is the musical vehicle of Genaaron Diamente. Genaaron grew up in a small town in Victoria, Australia and started playing guitar as soon as he was big enough to hold one. A steady diet of beatles records, 90s metal, school jazz bands and guitar lessons quickly...

The popular photography site Photo Tuts Plus had a feature on abstracted architecture in photography. Amongst the 80 examples picked, one is mine: What amazed me even more was that for the first of the five tips (Find the Fantasy), they used another shot of mine as the prime illustration...

Fortunately, I had backed up my important files (especially my pictures), but I still found out I made two errors - the hard way. So let me share it: [1] If you rip a lot of your CD's to the computer for easy compilation or MP3 player use - make a back-up of those files. That may sound absurd...

Inspired by Brahms, currently playing on my CD player. Mine: 1. Brahms - Deutsches Requiem 2. Mozart - Requiem 3. Faure - Requiem 4. Britten - War requiem 5. Verdi - Requiem Yours?

A few speculations....

As some of you know I have been running a blog on art (visual arts, photography, music, architecture) since over 2 years. This year I really suffered from blogging blues and the blog was nearly dead. So I decided to purge the whole content and start afresh. Result: a wave of inspiration and 90...

The band: Dorian Opera is the original name chosen by four German musicians for their band who have just released their debut album No secrets mid 2008. I have reviewed a solo album by their keyboard player Andrew Roussak (No trespassing) before. For more information on this band (and music...
