Tonight it's British group IQ, then some modern Canadian progressive rock (well, modern meaning "since 2002"), and some new "cosmic ambient" music from France.
Let's begin at the beginning. |
Intelligence Quotient IQ - Nine in a Pond is Here - The Super Tortured Artist Label |
Awake and Nervous IQ - Tales from the Lush Attic - Giant Electric Pea |
The Wake IQ - The Wake - Giant Electric Pea |
After the fourth one, realization. Finding our road, the same as if today. |
Leap of Faith IQ - Ever - Giant Electric Pea |
The Seventh House IQ - The Seventh House - Giant Electric Pea |
Born Brilliant IQ - Dark Matter - Giant Electric Pea |
First two releases are from 2002, the last from 2008. Progressive rock of different flavours... Ere G is a modern take on the Genesis-meets-Harmonium sound, while Mundi Domini had some of the same folk touches as earlier Quebec prog groups like l'Engoulevent, and finally Jelly Fiche had a lot of admiration for Floyd. |
La course aux papillons Ere G - Au-delà des ombres - Ipso Factoj |
Le petit train posé Mundi Domini - Mundi Domini |
Tout ce que j'ai rêvé Jellyfiche - Tout ce que j'ai rêvé - Unicorn |
Guiding Light IQ - The Seventh House - Giant Electric Pea |
Newly discovered artist creating what I'll call "cosmic ambient" music. Some similarities to Tarotplane, which I have been playing lately as well. First track is a cover from a VA tribute comp. The "Le Long de la Charentonne" album was released digitally in 2016 and is now available on cassette. |
