The follow-up to Shadow Gallery is a progressive rock masterpiece. The biggest change from the debut is band maturity and album production. While Shadow Gallery showed the band's tremendous potential, Carved in Stone finds the band fulfilling that potential. The songwriting, already good, is much better and more consistent. This album is about as well produced as any. "Cliffhanger" opens the album on a medium tempo with a great guitar solo at the end. "Crystalline Dream" and "Don't Ever Cry, Just Remember" follow that up with what can only be described as beautiful progressive rock. The more standard rockers "Warcry" and "Deeper Than Life" follow. "Alaska" is an excellent ballad. The album concludes with the 22-minute "Ghostship," which gives Shadow Gallery a chance to shine as musicians. While there are vocals on ...
| | Shadow Gallery Legacy CD (2001)
Elgar: Enigma Variations, Etc / Boult, Barbirolli
$13.45
Legacy is Shadow Gallery's fourth disc, and certainly one of their best. Those who say Shadow Gallery is prog metal rather than progressive rock should really give this disc a listen. Certainly there are plenty of metal influences, but there are also lots of moments that are much more closely tied to classic progressive rock. The songwriting on this disc is impeccable, as are both the performances and the production. The music ranges from metallic stylings to more sedate elements to powerful prog wanderings. The final cut on the CD is a 34-minute epic that will definitely keep you on your toes. It starts atmospheric and then begins a slow and powerful building process. The piece keeps being reinvented and reconstructed, with all the parts being very powerful and covering a wide range of styles. This piece is certainly one of the best the band has ever done yet, and, without question, is the creative pinnacle of the album. All you can say at the end of the adventure of this piece is "Wow." ~ Gary Hill

| | Echoes: The Best Of Pink Floyd CDs (2001)
Elgar: Enigma Variations, Etc / Boult, Barbirolli
$19.59  
Through their long history, Pink Floyd moved through psychedelia, prog-rock, space-rock, and more, emerging as pioneers in all of those styles. This two-disc compilation takes on the formidable task of creating a definitive Floyd collection. Though there's no chronological running order to give a sense of the group's development, there are plenty of key tracks from all the eras of Pink Floyd's career. We're given a healthy dose of material from the band's psychedelic '60s period, when they were spearheaded by the ultimate acid-damaged genius Syd Barrett (the loopy "Bike," the otherworldly "Astronomy Domine"). The most overtly progressive tendencies of '70s Floyd are aired on the glorious epic "Echoes," whose suite-like construction shows off both the band's technical facility and orchestration skills.
Naturally, there are some cuts from the band's watershed album DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, one of the best-selling LPs of all time (the gospel-tinged "The Great Gig in the Sky," the near-funky capitalist plaint "Money"). Hardcore Floyd fans might object to the number of songs from the post-Roger Waters era, but even these less-celebrated tunes work in the overall historical context. While it's easy to quibble about the absence of various Floyd favorites (no "Interstellar Overdrive?"), there's so much crucial music on this collection ...
| | Porcupine Tree Stupid Dream CDs (1999) With DVD; Special Edition
Elgar: Enigma Variations, Etc / Boult, Barbirolli
$15.35 
Porcupine Tree's first album for K-Scope/Snapper starts out with a definite bang -- "Even Less," with some of the quartet's biggest, blasting rock epic music yet, yet also shot through with the gentler, acoustic side that makes Porcupine Tree so intimate and lovely. The net result easily calls Yes to mind, but Steven Wilson's not so high-pitched as Jon Anderson and Richard Barbieri completely avoids Rick Wakeman's extreme idiocies -- prog that knows when less is more. With that as a fine signal for the album as a whole, Stupid Dream takes it from there -- Wilson as a songwriter and singer both sounds recharged and more ambitious, while the group collectively pours it on. The loud passages feel truly sky-smashing, the calmer ones perfectly close, and the overall sense of build and drama -- "A Smart Kid" is a fine example -- spot-on. Strings from the East of England Orchestra and guest work on Wilson's sometime Bass Communion partner Theo Travis add even lusher atmospheres without swamping the tunes. As always, the group isn't afraid to experiment where others merely re-create -- check out the funky breaks Colin Edwin and Chris Maitland lay down on "Slave Called Shiver," not to mention Wilson's catchy piano figure and Barbieri's Hammond organ fills. Lyrically, Wilson comes up with some of his best work ...

While many movies use actors to play musicians, the Irish indie film ONCE enlisted singer-songwriters Glen Hansard (of the Frames) and Marketa Irglova to portray two Dubliners on the edge of romance. The couple's real-life chemistry not only translated to a compelling, crowd-pleasing tale, it yielded a subtly beautiful soundtrack, which consists largely of thoughtful chamber-pop tunes by Hansard, some of which previously appeared (in slightly altered form) on the Frames' THE COST and his prior collaboration with Irglova, THE SWELL SEASON. Highlights of the collection include the gentle "Falling Slowly" and the urgent "When Your Mind's Made Up," tracks that elegantly echo the emotional ups and downs of the lauded film.
Out-of-print in the US. CD/DVD version. DVD includes, 'making of & Live Performances', The Real Life End: Story of the making 'Once', Falling Slowly (live at the Old Town School of Folk-video), Lies (live at KCRW-video), When Your Mind's Made Up (live at KCRW-video) and If You Want Me (live at KCRW-video). Once is a modern day musical set on the streets of Dublin. Featuring Glen Hansard, lead singer of the Irish band The Frames, the film tells the story of a street musician and a Czech immigrant during an eventful week as they write, rehearse and record songs that reveal their unique love story. Once was the winner of the World Cinema Audience Award at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Written and directed by John Carney, Once stars Glen Hansard and Mark‚ta Irglov . Hansard ...
