V?s?ero – Subkr?ut: U-B?ats Willk?mmen Hi?r (2012)

VESPERO got together as a quartet (Arkady Fedotov – vocals, bass, flute, synths; Valentin Rulev – violin, synths; Ivan Fedotov – drums, percussion; Alexander Kuzovlev – guitar, bass, synths) in Astrakhan (south of Russia) 2003 on the common interest in playing psychedelic music. Later Natalya Tjurina (vocals) joined, and the band moved into more progressive rock-related areas. As their Moscow fellows KAFTAN SMEKHA, VESPERO are deeply influenced by avant theatre and experimental poetry. Since the very first demos their sound has been influenced by GONG, early FLOYD, FAUST and related bands from that era. Highly recommended for all fans of these (and beyond!).

Citizen Cain – Skies Darken (2012)

This is Citizen Cain’s sixth and most powerful release yet, and their first album for over 10 years. Citizen Cain originate from Scotland, and feature Stewart Bell (keyboards/drums), Cyrus (bass/lead vocals) and Phil Allen (guitars/backing vocals). Cyrus’s vocals will always be reminiscent of Peter Gabriel, yet the band sound fresh and original on today’s prog scene, going to places in their music that few band’s can. Yes, there are the occasional Genesis references, but Skies Darken pushes the boundaries further than on any other release, maintaining melodies throughout. It’s a dark album that draws you in, and holds you there…highly recommended!
