Abel Ganz - Shooting Albatross (2008)

Abel Ganz is a neo prog band from Scotland founded in 1980 during the first renaissances of prog, when bands like Marillion, IQ, Pendragon and Pallas revived the progressive rock sound of the 70s. The album 'Shooting Albatross' of 2008 is probably the album of Abel Ganz' discography that most recalls the prog sound of the 70s, garnished with folk and jazz elements.

There is a saying in German: "to shoot a bird", which you say about someone who performs a specific task better than anyone else. In this way you can say it about Abel Ganz for this release (even if it is an albatross!). It consists of four epics of pure excellence and beauty.

Renaissance - Live at Carnegie Hall (part 1)

This weekend I am playing one of my favourite live albums of all times: the live album by Renaissance from the year 1976. They play together with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Not only the song selection is very good, but also all the musicians shine here with their excellent performance.
