August 04, 2004 The second album by The Tangent is scheduled for release by Inside Out Music in October 2004. Like its predecessor, much of the work was done at a distance with the recording taking place in a number of locations in Sweden and the UK. Writer and keyboards virtuoso Andy Tillison is here again joined by Flower Kings Roine Stolt (Electric Guitars/Vocals), Jonas Reingold (Bass Guitars), Zoltan Csorsz (Drums), as well as Guy Manning (Acoustic Guitars/vocals) and Sam Baine (Keyboards)... all familiar faces from the first album. Theo Travis (Gong.. Porcupine Tree etc) steps into David Jackson's shoes on Flute and Saxophones... this latter being the only lineup change from the first album
"The World That We Drive Through" is another blast of expertly constructed progressive rock music of the finest calibre. It advances from the first album, yet bases itself in the same arena. Tracks like "Skipping The Distance" and "The World We Drive Through" are exactly what people might expect in a second Tangent album... yet the altogether darker "Gap In The Night" pushes the Tangent into territories not explored on their debut CD.
'The World That
We Drive Through' is a 60 minute album featuring one 20 minute epic
and four 10 minute 'mini' epics
www.thetangent.com Daniel: "BE" is scheduled for September/October and is still on schedule as I am writing this, I am very proud of this album and so I bring forth my best Paul Stanley and say without hesitation that this is by far our best album to this date! It will almost be painful to knock it down the ladder when eventually the time will come for our next album, sometime around the fall of 2018 or so (relax, just kidding). As a matter of fact the last 12 months have been our most productive ever, with the writing and live production of "BE", the writing, performance and recording of 12:5 and now the "BE" album getting ready for shipment. And then there might possibly be a DVD coming out later this year, who knows...? And in the middle of all this we actually managed to play a few live shows, and I have built my studio from scratch, as well as being on tours and recording the new album with the Flower Kings, and doing the Hammer of the Gods thing with Portnoy and appearances on the Spastic Ink and Genius II albums. Looking back at these months, I honestly don't know how we have managed to accomplish all this.
This was a message from Daniel on July 31st. On www.insideout.de , you’ll find as release date September 27th.

After The Silence is a female fronted melodic hardrock / metalband
with symfonic-, classical- and also progressive Rock influences. In
fact; because of so many several musical backgrounds of all After The
Silence bandmembers, it isn't really possible to reduce their music
toward one particular musical style.

Opeth Message from the band: We are GARGANTUA, a group of young people who has just recorded their first album under the same name. We would like to get you interested in our music. Our webpage: www.gargantua.abc.pl We come from Krakow. We have already been playing for several years experimenting with original hybrid music which is quite challenging to be classified. Some define it as intellectual rock with fusion elements. Some notice the inspiration coming from “Gentle Giant”, jazz-rock avant-garde of the 70-ies or King Crimson. Our debute CD record came out from the Warsaw agency called Ars Mundi which also takes care of its distribution.
RICOCHER IS SIGNED TO PROGROCK RECORDS In the year 2000 the Dutch progrock band Ricocher started to conquer the world with their music. The current line-up consists of Erwin Boerenkamps (vocals, accoustic guitar), Bart van Helmond (guitars), John van Heugten (keyboards), Maikel van der Meer (drums) and Niels Nijssen (bass guitar). At this moment Ricocher has two releases, the first is the EP "Quest for the Heartland" and the second one is the CD "Cathedral of Emotions". The new release "Chains" will once again prove the importance of melody and structure that is one of the main pillars in the music of Ricocher.
www.progrockrecords.com “Veil of Gossamer” is the first solo release by Iona co-founder Dave Bainbridge. The album is an ambitious project in which Dave further extends the musical vision he has brought to Iona’s music for the past 15 years, skilfully blending together ethereal atmospheres and haunting vocal textures, with his earthy, soaring guitar work and memorable, uplifting melodies. Thematically, the album explores the thin “veil” between this life and the next.
