The total length of each suite should be 25 minutes maximum.

The project will be released also as a triple LP limited edition.

If
you never saw Plackband, then this is your chance and if you already
saw them, you know what you can expect. Don’t miss it: Friday November
19! For the second time, there will be a Dutch Prog Night in the Spirit of 66 in Verviers (Belgium). Last year, the line up was Nice Beaver, Flamborough Head and Plackband. This year you can see Knight Area, Mangrove and ....... yes, again Plackband! Plackband had the honour to open the festival last year, but now they play as last act on this second sympho rock evening! At that time, they still performed with vocalist Kees Bik. The new singer Karel Messemaker was already singing a few songs for a unique acoustic reunion with November. Or wasn’t it a coincidence, after all? On December 19th, 2004, these three Dutch prog bands will surprise you with a spectacular show. Francis Geron from the Spirit of 66 will proove once more that he’s the master of a perfect prog sound in his establishment!

Info and samples on www.sideways.info Pete Wallbridge and the band have parted company, Stu Nicholson has announced. Stu reports: Pete is no longer a part of Galahad due to a number of reasons which we will not dwell upon. It was always a possibility that he wouldn't be in it for the long term being so young and errr... unpredictable! But a replacement is already in situ, in the form of Scots-born Mike Kneller. Says Stu: Now we are looking forward to the future and are pleased to announce that Mike Kneller, whom we have known for a while, has taken over Bass Guitar duties. Mike has had a lot of experience in playing, writing and recording over the years plus and perhaps more importantly he like the odd tipple so he fits in just fine! He has also already made a very positive contribution during the last few band rehearsal sessions towards the writing of new material for the next album for which recording should commence shortly. Message from Richocher: The spring tour of Ricocher has ended by now. We like to thank everybody who attended one of these gigs. You find pictures of that night on our site. We also wish to thank everybody who already ordered a copy of our newest album If you want to order it, just go to http://www.ricocher.com/dutch_nieuws_98CD.htm

Press Release: After a long period of fruitful musical co-operation, the band Lorian from Amsterdam has decided to go on as two bands, because there were different opinions about the future of the band. Marc Besselink (vocals/piano) and Jeroen Vriend (bass) have decided to leave the band and go on with the project “Life Cycle”. They will also write new songs with Rob de Jong (guitar) and Gijs Bierenbroodspot (drum) with the band “KRAMER”.
Picture: Hans-Peter van Velthoven More info about the band on www.kramer-music.nl A DROP IN THE OCEAN, AN OCEAN IN A DROP - 2004 This is the first solo work of Sérgio Benchimol, guitar player, saxophonist and keyboardist of Semente and True Illusion bands. The CD follows a concept of duality (inheritance of the A and B sides of vinyl), as the title already demonstrates. Basically this work is divided in two parts. The first (the A side) is lighter on which piano and acoustic guitar predominate, with constant presence of drums, flute, cello, percussion and oboe. The mellotron timbre and the saxophones appear in some solos.. The “side B”, the second part, is heavier, with a perfect fusion of rock and jazz. Guitars, moog timbres and saxophones combined with drums, complex passages and tempos, and reminds a little of the seventies Canterbury British school of Prog Rock, with light touches of jazz. The CD also has space for some folk.
