Genesis - Seconds Out (1977)

Seconds Out is a live album by Genesis. All songs except one were recorded in 1977 in Paris. Only 'Cinema Show' is from the 1976 tour, which featured Bill Bruford on the drums. The other songs were played with the line-up Phil Collins (drums, vocals), Tony Banks (keyboards), Steve Hackett (guitars), Mike Rutherford (bass) and Chester Thompson (drums).
It is the last recording with Steve Hackett as guitarist for the band.
Currently Steve Hackett is touring with his own band re-playing all songs from this album.

Blank Manuskript - Krásná Hora (2019)

Previously I thought there are only Alp horns and cow bells in Austria, but no, there is also great prog rock in this country! The name of the band is Blank Manuskript. They were formed in Salzburg, Austria, in 2007 and have released four albums so far. I am streaming their album Krásná Hora (2019). Krasna Hora is a place in the Czech Republic and translates to 'beautiful mountain'. The music is influenced by prog rock of the 70's with a good dose of crimsonesque sounds. Why the band chose this Czech title for the album I do not know. Maybe they visited that place and felt inspired?

Wired Ways + NOTP review

Today I am playing the debut album of the German band Wired Ways (2022), plus some other artists that have played on this years Loreley Night of the Prog (NOTP).

Wired Ways is a band consisting of 9 musicians based in Germany. Little is known of their origins, only that two of them, the bass player and the keyboard player, also play with the band Stern-Combo Meißen. They release their self-titled debut album this year, and they had probably their first live appearance at the Loreley Night of the Prog 2022.
