Finally George - Life is a Killer (2018)

Finally George is the brainchild of German sound artist Georg Hahn. After many years as a musician and sound producer in the Hamburg music scene he finally fulfilled his dream of creating his first solo album, inspired by bands such as Genesis, Blackfield and Supertramp. For his ambitious work he managed to assemble excellent guest musicians, like ex-Lake guitarist Erlend Krauser, and drummer Todd Sucherman, who replaced John Panozzo in the band Styx.

ELP (bonus track 1993), Gentle Knife (debut, 2015)

This weekend I start my stream with the bonus track of Emerson, Lake & Palmer's 'Pictures at an Exhibition', which is a re-recorded studio version of the same piece from 1993.
After that I am spinning the debut album of the Norwegian band Gentle Knife from 2015. They play symphonic prog with jazzy elements.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Pictures At An Exhibition (1971)

Three excellent musicians unite to form one of the greatest progressive rock bands of all times: Emerson, Lake & Palmer. My favourite album of them is their creative take on Pictures of an Exhibition, a classical piece of the Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky. The album was recorded live, there is no studio recording of it. Until today this recording demonstrates for me the best example of great musicianship.

Gentle Knife - Clock Unwound (2017)

Gentle Knife is a 10-member-band from Norway founded in 2014. I have heard of them for the first time at the Loreley Night of the Prog, where they gave a terrific performance. After that I went to the merchandising table and bought both of their albums that they have released so far. This weekend I am streaming their second and latest album. They play symphonic prog with jazzy elements, which remind me of the jazzy parts of early King Crimson.
