http://www.capitolmusic.de/xml/1/400024/discografie.html After Forever introduces Joost van den Broek:
Joost van den
Broek was born on the 13th of July 1982 which makes him 21 years old,
almost 22. He has been playing keyboard for 11 years now. The last 4
years he studied at the conservatorium in Enschede ‘Musicproduction &
Keyboards’.
Playing in After Forever gives him a lot of new opportunities musically as well as professionally. You want to join Sun Caged? Unfortunately keyboard player Joost van den Broek and singer Andre Vuurboom had to leave the band, so we are searching for new musicians. Do you play keyboards or do you sing, and you want to join a band with high potential, with a record deal, with gig in different countries around the world, then don’t hesitate to contact us. Send a demo and biography to : Sun Cage, Reinoudflat 30, 6136 DJ Sittard, The Netherlands, or send an email to : suncaged@suncaged.com. The band is located in the south of The Netherlands. Anthem/Atlantic recording group Rush has unveiled details of their upcoming new collection, dubbed “FEEDBACK.” This unique set sees the renowned trio – Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart – celebrating the band’s 30th anniversary by performing cover versions of eight rock classics from the Sixties. “FEEDBACK” is slated to arrive in stores on June 29. “ FEEDBACK” marks the first time that Rush has recorded songs by other artists and writers. Included are such groundbreaking staples as Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth” and “Mr. Soul,” the Yardbirds’ “Heart Full of Soul” and “Shapes of Things,” and the Who’s “The Seeker.” “FEEDBACK” also features versions of two songs which defined the heavy rock power trio tradition that gave birth to Rush – Cream’s explosive take on Robert Johnson’s “Crossroads” and Blue Cheer’s still-extreme rendition of Eddie Cochran’s “Summertime Blues.”

My
name is TIM BURNESS and I have a new album "FINDING NEW WAYS TO LOVE"
out on my own Expanding Consciousness label in June. Musicians include
drummer Fudge Smith (Pendragon and ex-Steve Hackett), Monty Oxy Moron
on keyboards ( veteran punks The Damned) and Martin Franklin on
electronics and percussion ( global ambient group Tuu).
My
"progressive rock" credentials include my early 1980s band Burnessence
who supported I.Q., Pendragon and Pallas at that time. I have also
played on albums by late nineties ambient group Tuu.
Progressive rock band founded in Strasbourg in 1995, LEST walks in
the footprints left by bands such as Pendragon, Marillion or IQ. In
the early years, they open for Pendragon, Arena, Saga, Uli Jon Roth
(ex-Scorpions). At that time, LEST is faced to many internal issues
and the band splits for instability. In 1998, Didier Kopp is the last
to stand and decides to search for new musicians to resurrect the
band. He abandons his old songs and starts working on a concept album
project based on a futuristic love story. In 2000, with the arrival of
Yannick Kirschhoffer closed followed by the Michel Gonçalves' coming ,
the concept album is finalized. In 2002, after a

May 08, 2004 Message from InsideOut The moment has come. This week finally our long announced and lavishly prepared ARTWORK COLLECTORs SERIES is out in the shops. This format is something completely new for us und regarding this fact it was much more time needed for preparation than originally scheduled. Our supplier encountered a few problems with the manufacturing and so several copies of the numbers 0.001 to 3.000 could not be used. In order to reach the exact number of 3.000 copies, a few numbers had to be added. So please don't be confused when occasionally numbers over "3.000" turn up in the shops. In fact, there is a limitation to 3.000 copies worldwide for each title. So far are released:

Kallocain There’s also a special Edition in a Digipack with a bonus live DVD The album’s title refers to a science fiction novel by Swedish female author Karin Boye. The story deals with a utopic society between Huxley and Orwell. Obvious traces were left by Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree: ”He was a gift of heaven”, says Stefan. ”He asked us if we could need help with the mixing. He exactly knew where we were heading. Wilson has, so to speak, added the gold powder to ‘Kallocain’.”

Verglas will be

tour. It seemed a waste not to do something with the various footage
they had left over from so many excellent dates! The pressing will be
strictly limited, and will also include a special 'collectors DVD'
featuring an 'on stage and off stage' documentary about Arena on tour.
------------------------------------------- More from the Verglas Rumour Mill
Here's some of
the latest chunks of rumour and gossip floating around the halls of
Verglas at the moment. 1. Verglas have agreed to finally release the third Strangers on a Train album. Plans are still on course to have the album recorded by the end of the year. 2. Writing continues on the sixth Arena studio album. We hear that one of the tracks has a working title of 'Opera Fanatica', and features some 'fairly extravegant instrumental work'. 3. The boys in Arena also have a title for the album, which they have promised to divulge very soon. 4. Arena may be releasing a series of 'past album' T-shirts. It may yet be possible to buy a 'Songs from the Lions Cage' shirt! Live at the Budokan DVD
