Salzburg Festival with a difference! What a wild ride! Dante's 'Divine Comedy', set to music by the crazy BLANK MANUSKRIPT from said metropolis. Label/Distribution: Blank Manuscript/Just For Kicks BLANK MANUSKRIPT - Celestial Spheres (4:27) Somewhere between Genesis and the Pink Floyd of the mid-seventies.Ħ. Drums and bass drive insistently, the mellotron almost rolls over. JOHNNY BOB start cautiously on 'Peter Pan Awakes', but quickly pick up speed. Murky sound, murky rhythms, murky vocals. Label/Distribution: Kombüse/Broken Silence The group was inspired by Jim Jarmusch's vampire movie 'Only Lovers Left Alive' for the snappy title track On their third album 'Tales To Be Told' the Swedish band LYKANTROPI once again serves atmospheric retro rock with female vocals and flute, whereby progressive time changes also creep in. Also for the dance with the damsel is provided A lot of guitar, perfect for the campfire at the medieval market. Like modern 'Songs From The Wood'! LUNATIC SOUL aka Mariusz Duda has reinvented himself: instead of electronics rustic folkprog charm and slightly metallic pagan touches (like on 'The Passage'). Musically you get atmospheric to anthemic prog, not too far away from Marillion, quite catchy like on 'Amelia' The theme of the MARATHON album is communication with what may be 'out there' in space. It was about time that Marillion's keyboardist finally came out solo. How deep the old waters really were and that they harbor life unknown to this day is proven by their fifth opus. No one captures the vibes of that time as creatively and unerringly without seeming stale as these Norwegians.

WOBBLER continue to wave the colorful flag of 70s prog.
