Traumhaus: Die Andere Seite (Germany-2008). A good album of symphonic progressive rock. http://www.myspace.com/traumhausmusic

The Last Embrace: Aerial (2009). Progressive rock/metal. http://www.myspace.com/thelastembracefr Bio. Olivier (guitar) created THE LAST EMBRACE in 1998. In 2000, the bandseemed to have found its style, which could be best categorized asatmospheric metal. This was also the year they played their first gigs.With the help of Stephan May they've recorded a EP in 2001 (includingtheir first singer, Nathalie). In early 2003, their first CD becameavailable. This year was also filled with live performances, such asThe Rotonde Festival in Hirson (France, with PARADISE LOST, SAXON,AFTER FOREVER...), the First Metal Female Voices Festival in Brussels(Belgium, with EPICA, ANTHEMON, AUTUMN...) and also few gigs in Paris.In 2004, The Last Embrace opened for the Parisian gig of THE GATHERINGand played many concerts with bands like VANDEN PLAS, ASRAI, EVE OFDESTINY. The end of 2004 was a period of trouble for the band. In ashort period of time, three members decided to leave the band. In June2005, with a new line up (including a new singer, Sandy), The LastEmbrace recorded its first album called INSIDE. Once again, Stephan Maywas chosen for the recording and the mix, Goran Finnberg was chosen forthe mastering. In 2006 and 2007, the band mainly played acoustic gigs(several times with DANNY CAVANAGH -ANATHEMA- and also ANTIMATTER,LEAFBLADE, FAITH AND THE MUSE...). At the fall 2007, Vik (bass) leavesThe Last Embrace before the recording of the second album. Aerial isrecorded in 2008 at Delicates'son and Whitewasteland studios. BenjaminJoubert was chosen for the mastering.Aerial is about to be available fall 2009 by Longfellowdeeds records(distribution soundworks / season of mist).Anthony joined the band as the new bass player and THE LAST EMBRACE isready to present this second album.

Ok, thank you! I really like instrumental progressive music so I will try to find Harvest Aorta in CD. Grobschnitt: Solar Music Live (1978) (Digipack Edition 2009). One of the best live albums in german progressive music of the 70's. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=585

I have got their first album Broken Door. And it is very good music. I will try to find the new CD thanks to my french record seller Cosmos Music.

np: a medley of the albums of Phideaux. <3 Happy new year to progressive music fans!

Hi! Yes, Quidam is a very good band. What is remarkable is the evolution between the first period with the female singer and the new era which is more powerful with the male singer.

Quidam: Alone Together (Poland-2007). Very good! http://www.myspace.com/quidampl

One more time, the superb album of IZZ: The Darkened Room (USA-2009). http://www.myspace.com/izzmusic

For me, it is a correct album but in US progressive rock, I prefer the new CD of IZZ: The Darkened Room.
