Djam Karet - A Sky Full Of Stars For A Roof (2019)

Djam Karet is an instrumental progressive rock band founded 1984 in California, USA. Since then, they have released an album nearly every year. Their latest release "A Sky Full Of Stars For A Roof" is this weekend's featured album. The music can be described as a blend of psych rock, space rock, ambient and adventurous sound clusters, with influences ranging from Ozric Tentacles to King Crimson.
The band's name is an old spelling of an Indonesian word (pronounced by English speakers as 'jum car-RAT) that translates loosely as "elastic time".

Cheeto's Magazine - Amazingous (2019)

Cheeto's Magazine is a band from Barcelona, Spain. They have released now their third album, "Amazingous". The album consists of excellent sophisticated compositions of cheerful, bright sounding, colourful music, as colourful as the album cover. Glam rock and AOR, Styx-like passages blend together with the complexity of Yes arrangements. This is one of the albums I really did not expect that I would like it that much. Simply amazing(ous)!
