Southern Empire - Civilisation (2018)

Unitopia was a promising Australian band who played great melodic modern prog rock. After they split up they formed two new bands, United Progressive Fraternity (UPF) with Unitopia members Mark Trueack,  Matt Williams, Tim Irrgang and David Hopgood, and Southern Empire with keyboardist Sean Timms. Southern Empire has released two albums so far. This weekend I am spinning their second release "Civilisation". Southern Empire sounds in general a bit heavier than UPF.
If you are familiar with the music of UPF and The Samurai of Prog, where Sean Timms also participated, then you will notice some familiar tunes.

Blank Manuskript - Himmelfahrt (2020)

I thought there were only cows, meadows and mountains in Austria, but no, there is also great prog from this country! And the name of the band is Blank Manuskript! They were founded in Salzburg, Austria, in 2007, and have released four albums so far. This weekend I am streaming the latest release "Himmelfahrt", which means "Ascension". They play 70's style symphonic prog with jazzy undertones.

Ryo Okumoto was born in Osaka in 1959. He started his musical career early, playing classical music on piano. In the mid-70's, he moved to Tokyo, where he was performing in various venues for the next few years. In 1996 he joined the band Spock's Beard and is its keyboard player ever since. This weekend I am streaming his solo album The Myth of the Mostrophus (2022), featuring his colleagues from Spock's Beard, but also many other guests, like Steve Hackett and Michael Sadler.
