New music
Cool new music from all around the world, here are some recent (and future) releases of interest:

Miriodor - Signal 9
31 years after its first album, Miriodor's latest album, entitled Signal 9, has just been released on Cuneiform Records.

"Metaphorically, we could say that Miriodor is a planet, with aliens communicating in their mysterious ways with planet Earth," says Miriodor's keyboardist, Pascal Globensky. In that sense, the long-lived Montreal band's ninth album, entitled Signal 9, could simply be considered the ninth set of musical messages from that exotic heavenly body.

The Miriodor discography has been building strength upon strength with each successive album. The band combines jazz, classical, rock, and international influences for an arresting, idiosyncratic sound that eludes description but remains immediately identifiable as Miriodor.

Picking up where the most recent coded message from planet Miriodor, 2013's Cobra Fakir, left off, Signal 9 arrives like an invitation to an otherworldly voyage. Each track marks another twist and turn in a journey across strange, captivating landscapes populated by creatures, crafts, and constructions whose like has never been glimpsed outside the band's idiosyncratic ecosystem.

Globensky, drummer Rémi Leclerc, and guitarist Bernard Falaise have expanded Miriodor to a quartet with the addition of bassist Nicolas Lessard as a full-time member. Accordingly, the band works like a one eight-handed, four-brained organism here, operating more organically and collectively than ever.

And while Miriodor often forges some of their heaviest sounds to date over the course of Signal 9, the album is also loaded with off-the-wall humor and some beautiful, contemplative melodic moments. The combination makes for some crafty contrasts, frequently flipping back and forth drastically from one mood to another multiple times within a single composition for a jarring-but-thrilling effect.

Once you return to your everyday life after emerging from the alternative universe of Signal 9, the whole album seems like some kind of fever dream you've just emerged from. But the big difference is that it's a dream you're eager to leap right back into again.

The album will be available through Cuneiform Records, and at all good record stores, including Archambault and Freeson Rock.

Steven Wilson - To The Bone
Steven Wilson's long awaited 5th studio solo album, entitled To The Bone, will be released in early August. Listen to the first video of the album, Pariah.

"My fifth record is in many ways inspired by the hugely ambitious progressive pop records that I loved in my youth (think Peter Gabriel’s So, Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love, Talk Talk’s Colour of Spring and Tears for Fears’ Seeds of Love).

Lyrically, the album’s eleven tracks veer from the paranoid chaos of the current era in which truth can apparently be a flexible notion, observations of the everyday lives of refugees, terrorists and religious fundamentalists, and a welcome shot of some of the most joyous wide-eyed escapism I’ve created in my career so far. Something for all the family!" – Steven Wilson

Here is the track list:
1. To The Bone (6.41)
2. Nowhere Now (4.04)
3. Pariah (4.44)
4. The Same Asylum As Before (5.14)
5. Refuge (6.42)
6. Permanating (3.35)
7. Blank Tapes (2.09)
8. People Who Eat Darkness (6.03)
9. Song of I (5.22)
10. Detonation (9.20)
11. Song of Unborn (5.56)

The album will be available in 2-LP vinyl edition, regular CD version, and a very special 2CD/Blu-Ray/DVD/7 inch deluxe hardback book edition, available through Universal, and at all good record stores, including Archambault and Freeson Rock.

New music
Cool new music from all around the world, here are some recent (and future) releases of interest:

Isildur's Bane - Colours Not Found In Nature
Swedish Progressive pioneers, Isildur's Bane and Marillion vocalist Steve Hogarth join forces on the new 2017 album Colours Not Found In Nature. Comprising six songs composed by Isildur's Bane's musical director and keyboard player Mats Johansson, along with Steve Hogarth, the richly detailed recordings feature tuned percussion, strings, woodwind, brass and voices, all within an integrated suite-like album structure. Both a departure for Steve Hogarth and a stunning return for Isildur's Bane, the album incorporates elements of Rock, traditional music, Jazz and contemporary Classical in one brilliantly unified world. Available at all good indie record stores, including Freeson.

Lonely Robot - The Big Dream
Lonely Robot, the project masterminded by producer, guitarist and singer/songwriter John Mitchell (It Bites, Frost*, Arena), has announced that its much-anticipated second studio album The Big Dream will be released on 28th April 2017. Following 2015’s acclaimed debut Please Come Home, The Big Dream has a core theme running through it – one that sees The Astronaut, the central character in the Lonely Robot adventure, emerging from a long period in stasis. “The key inspiration for Lonely Robot comes from my love of science fiction films, and the atmospheric soundtracks that often accompany them – such as Alan Silvestri’s compositions for Contact and Clint Mansell’s work for Moon. The album once again features drums by Craig Blundell (Steven Wilson), with all other instrumentation on the album delivered by Mitchell himself. The Big Dream will be available as a special edition digipak CD (including 3 bonus tracks), gatefold 2LP + CD, and digital download, available through InsideOut music and at all good indie record stores, including Freeson.

Magenta - We Are Legend
The seventh studio album from British progressive rock band Magenta, We Are Legend features just three songs – two 11-minute tracks and a 26-minute epic. Rob Reed says: "Magenta have gone through a lot since the last album, especially lead vocalist Christina Booth, so I think we feel we have something to prove with this album. So be prepared.” This is easily Magenta's best release in at least ten years. A must for fans, and a good place for those unfamiliar to start. It is rare to say that about a band's seventh studio release, but We Are Legend is definitely a return to form and a very entertaining listen. Available through Bandcamp and at all good indie record stores, including Freeson.

Ayreon - The Source
The Source is the ninth studio album from Arjen Anthony Lucassen's progressive metal/rock opera project Ayreon, released on April 28, 2017. As with every Ayreon album, it is a concept album with each character being portrayed by one singer. Unlike the previous album The Theory of Everything, it marks a return to science fiction and the Ayreon storyline; it acts, in particular, as a prequel to 01011001, making it the first album in the storyline's chronology. It's Lucassen's first album under his new label, Mascot Label Group. In the typical style of the project, the album features several guest singers to portray the characters across the album; although Lucassen usually prefers to work only once with a same singer in Ayreon, he mostly cast returning performers for The Source, including James LaBrie (Dream Theater), Simone Simons (Epica), Floor Jansen (Nightwish), Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian), Tobias Sammet (Edguy, Avantasia), Tommy Karevik (Kamelot, Seventh Wonder), and Russell Allen (Symphony X), together with newcomers such as Tommy Rogers (Between the Buried and Me), for a total of eleven main vocalists. The 2-CD album is available through Amazon and at all good indie record stores, including Freeson.

John Wetton dies at 67
Legendary bassist/vocalist and FMPM alumni John Wetton passed away Tuesday, January 31, 2017. The bassist and frontman for Asia as well as a former member of King Crimson and UK, has died at the age of 67 after a long and brave battle with cancer. John's last visits in Montreal were in 2011 with Asia, in 2012 again with Asia and UK and in 2013 with UK.

Here is Carl Palmer's statement on the passing of his friend: "With the passing of my good friend and musical collaborator, John Wetton, the world loses yet another musical giant. John was a gentle person who created some of the most lasting melodies and lyrics in modern popular music. As a musician, he was both brave and innovative, with a voice that took the music of asia to the top of the charts around the world. His ability to triumph over alcohol abuse made him an inspiration to many who have also fought that battle. For those of us who knew him and worked with him, his valiant struggle against cancer was a further inspiration. I will miss his talent, his sense of humor and his infectious smile. May you ride easy, my old friend." - Carl Palmer- January 31, 2017.
