Prog Rock Community in Second Life
Zyma was an obscure short-lived progressive rock band founded in 1972 by musicians from the area around Heidelberg and Mannheim, Germany. They have released only two albums. This weekend I am presenting you their first album 'Thoughts'. The compositions are influenced by folk, jazz rock and Canterbury style music.
Due to technical problems there is no streaming this weekend, sorry!
I somehow missed that Firestorm updated its viewer and that old viewers are blocked from August 18th.
Therefore, I cannot login for the moment.
Next streaming will be on the weekend August 28th/29th.
Prog on and see you next time!
Big Big Train is a band founded in 1990 in Bournemouth, Dorset, England. They have released 13 albums so far, and I am a fan since The Underfall Yard (2009). The music is slightly influenced by Genesis, around the 'A Trick of the Tail' period, but they have also included a brass band and violins. With this mini orchestra they also go on tour. This weekend I am spinning their latest release 'Common Ground'.
No streaming this weekend, sorry!
Next streaming of DJ Exiles will be on the weekend August 14th/15th.
Don't miss DJ Ant on Thursdays!
Prog on and see you next time!

Arachnoid is a French band from the 70's, who only recorded one album, which is self-titled. The music is a kind of dark sounding progressive rock, which is influenced by King Crimson of the Wetton-era. There is a certain ominousness in the music which can also be heard from newer French bands/artist like Orion, Lazuli, Pitch or JPL.
