Quidam + Ghiribizzi

Quidam – 15th anniversary

In February this year it has been 15 years since Quidam formed. According to this anniversary we are planning to release re-editions of three first albums. They will look like replica of analog album ( each will contain a cardboard, unfolded cover). But what is the most important to each CD there will be added a second one. In case of “Sny Aniołów” it s obvious that there will be two language versions (polish and english), but as far as first album “Quidam” and “Baja Prog” are concerned, we hope you will be nicely surprised:-)

Special remastered version of the anniversary first album will contain an additional CD “Rzeka Wspomnień” (River of Memories). We searched our archives and managed to find a few interesting recordings which have never been released, but were asked for. We believe that it is a good opportunity to remind them although the less quality of some of them. Thanks to our efforts and kindness of friends of Quidam, the CD will also consist of recordings of other bands in which some of us had an opportunity to participate. We hope that you will joyfully participate in this historical journey, and this release will become an important supplement of Quidam discography. Here you will find two cover songs recorded in club “Pod Przewiązką” in Cracow: “White Rider” and “Horizons”, you will also find the only track of Deep River recorded in studio,”Szukając szczęścia”. Track “Rzeka Wspomnień” didn’t find its place on “Pod Niebem Czas” and this was the last song recorded with Emila. Furthermore, recordings of Ogrodnicy, Talath Dirnen, Belgrad and some pleasant “images”: videoclips and live performances of Sanktuarium, from our first concert abroad on “Day of Dreams” in Holland.

Equally interesting is the new edition of “Baja Prog” – Live in Mexico ’99”. On an additional DVD !!! you will find full videos of four tracks from the already known live album: “Choćbym”, “Rhayader/Rhayader Goes To Town”, “Sanktuarium”, and “Angels of Mine”, but also never released : “Pod Powieką”, “Nocne Widziadła” and “Bajkowy”. That’s not all – you wil also see two short reports from the stay in the country of cactus and Tequila :-)

Annie Haslam

Night and Day with Annie Haslam

The collaboration with Annie Haslam "Night and Day" has arrived. This four track EP contains three versions of the song written by Rob and Christina (Magenta) especially for Annie, plus a lovely instrumental written and performed by Rob called "Essence of Love". The Annie Haslam painting of the same name, which adorns the cover of the single, inspired this piece. The song also features the entire Magenta live band plus a stunning contribution from Troy Donockley on Uilleann Pipes and Whistles.

Track listing:

1. Night and Day (lead vocal by Annie)
2. Night and Day (evening mix)
3. Essence of Love
4. Night and day (duet with Christina of Magenta)

The EP costs just GBP 4.00 (including postage to anywhere in the world) and an be purchased from www.progrock.co.uk

chimpan A

chimpan A is a new project co-written, performed, produced and engineered by Rob Reed which also features the vocal talents of  Steve Balsamo (The Storys, Jesus Christ Superstar) and Rob Thompson (The Storys) on guitar.

The CD also features vocals from Christina (Magenta), Sam Brown (David Gilmour, Jools Holland, solo) and well-known Welsh classical soprano Shan Cothi. London-based poet Tony Dallas also contributes some remarkable spoken word passages. The band has made innovative use of samples from Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells and the choral work of British composer John Tavener and while the project is very different to Magenta - it should appeal to anyone who enjoys Massive Attack, Peter Gabriel, Zero 7, Bjork or Jakatta particularly - there is certainly a progressive spirit to it that we are sure Magenta fans will enjoy.

You can hear samples of the CD at www.progrock.co.uk/samples samples page and complete songs at the bands' Myspace site www.myspace.com/chimpana. The chimpan A official web site is now up and running at www.chimpana.com.

Check out the video section for a few very familiar faces! We hope that the project will have considerable commercial appeal and it will be released through traditional distribution channels in October. However it is in stock and available to buy now at progrock.co.uk.

The Reasoning

Steve Rothery from Marillion plays with The Reasoning

The Reasoning: We are very pleased and extremely proud to announce that, Steve Rothery from Marillion, is making a very special guest appearance on the forthcoming album "Awakening".  Steve gladly agreed to play a beautiful solo for us on the song, "Within Cold Glass"  The song is a hauntingly beautiful song, sung with real passion and emotion by Rachel, with some outstanding harmony backing vocals by Dylan and Gareth.  You have to hear this song, just stunning.  Oh yes, Matthew even makes his guitar debut on the intro to the song!

All of us in The Reasoning are huge fans of Steve and Marillion, so this is a really, really huge honour for us and we thank him, from the bottom of our hearts, for playing such an amazing part in all of this.

As you are fully aware, from the last Blog, you can also pre-order the album, due for release in November 2006, by emailing us at info@thereasoning.com  The normal retail price of the album will be £10.99, but if you pre-order it, the cost is £8.99 inc P&P (for mainland UK) and £8.99 plus P&P (for the US, Europe and rest of the world).    For this, you will get a copy of the album 2 weeks in advance of general release, plus it will be personally signed by all the band.  Just e-mail us with the heading "Awakening Pre-Order" and include your name and address and we will add you to the ever growing list.  You don't have to pay until the album is ready for shipping and you are able to pay by cheque, postal order and PayPal.  We are also in the process of setting up a Credit / Debit Card payment system.  More news on that as it happens.

More special guest are also appearing and they will be announced soon.

The new web site is really taking shape and if you are wondering about the video, don't panic, it is looking stunning and it will be here soon.

Steve Hughes joins The Reasoning

We are very, very pleased to announce that Steve Hughes (Kino, The Enid, Whimwise and Big Big Train) has agreed to join the band as a permanent member.  The Reasoning have had a few problems pinning down the right drummer - and during recent auditions, the prospect of finding the right person seemed a long way off!  After a brief chat with John Mitchell (It Bites, Kino, Arena, Frost and The Urbane) it was suggested that we get in touch with Steve.

Thank God we did!  Steve is a wonderful drummer, and his track record speaks for itself.  I know that with him on board, The Reasoning will reach a whole new level thanks to his amazing ability.

Recording can now get underway properly and we are all looking forward to getting out there and putting on a rock and roll show that will make you want to get up and rock with us.  Those of you who know us will welcome Steve with open arms, as we have.

Evergrey

Michael Håkansson has decided to part ways with Evergrey. The new bass player will be the band's long-time friend Fredrik Larsson. (ex Hammerfall)

Michael has left the following message for all the Evergrey fans:
"Dear friends and fans of Evergrey.
After a long time of consideration and many, many hours of thinking I now, with sadness, announce my departure from the band.

I have been a part of the band for seven years and during that time I have experienced so much and I have seen more than I ever thought I would. But now it is time for me to say goodbye.

My reason for doing this is that I feel a strong urge to do something different in music. This is the one and only reason and it's 100% my own decision.

I want to thank the boys for all the good times we have had together thoughout the years. I wish them the best of all success, something they truly deserve and without doubt will achieve.

Take care everyone /Mikey"

Syd Barrett

Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett (January 6, 1946 – July 7, 2006) was an English singer, songwriter, guitarist and artist.

Best remembered as one of the founding members of the group Pink Floyd, Barrett was active as a rock musician for only a few years, before he went into seclusion. His creative legacy and quintessentially English vocal delivery have since proven remarkably influential.

Syd Barrett, one of the original members of legendary rock group Pink Floyd, has died at the age of 60 from complications arising from diabetes.

The guitarist was the band's first creative force and an influential songwriter, penning their early hits. He joined Pink Floyd in 1965 but left three years later. He went on to live as a recluse, with his mental deterioration blamed on drugs.

"He died very peacefully a couple of days ago," the band's spokeswoman said.
"There will be a private family funeral."

A statement from Pink Floyd said: "The band are naturally very upset and sad to learn of Syd Barrett's death. "Syd was the guiding light of the early band line-up and leaves a legacy which continues to inspire."

David Bowie described Barrett as a "major inspiration", saying: "I can't tell you how sad I feel. "The few times I saw him perform in London at UFO and the Marquee clubs during the '60s will forever be etched in my mind. "He was so charismatic and such a startlingly original songwriter. Also, along with Anthony Newley, he was the first guy I'd heard to sing pop or rock with a British accent. "His impact on my thinking was enormous. A major regret is that I never got to know him. A diamond indeed."

Born Roger Barrett in Cambridge, he composed songs including See Emily Play and Arnold Layne, both from 1967. He also wrote most of their album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. But he struggled to cope with fame and drugs.

Just as Pink Floyd were about to achieve global success, Barrett retreated from public life and returned to Cambridge. Barrett released two solo albums -- "The Madcap Laughs" and "Barrett" -- but soon withdrew from the music business altogether.Little was known about his whereabouts for 20 years until he was tracked down living with his mother.

But his influence remained, with younger fans and artists discovering his music.

ProgPower Europe

We would like you to know that weekend tickets for the ProgPower Europe festival are for sale now. Just go to the ProgPower website and make your pre-order, day tickets will go on sale at the end of August, only when available.

We also have a couple of package deals for sale, it includes a weekend ticket and a stay at Kasteel De Berckt, Bed & Breakfast. It is definitely the best place to stay during ProgPower, close to the venue(about 2 km), cheap and you will stay there with several other visitors and some of the bands that will play at the festival. But the package deals are limited, so better order them today.

We also have flyers available right now, so if you would like to do some promotion and spread some flyers just mail us, give us your address and we will send some flyers within the next couple of days.
