Review – Blank Manuskript – The Waiting Soldier – by Gary Morley

The wallet emptier’s influence reached through time and space to deliver a veiled threat. I’ll send you a CD if you review it within a week.” As I’ve been away from the typewriter for a while, I accepted the challenge and tonight the CD was sat waiting for me to take my first lesson. The…

Review – I AM The Manic Whale – Gathering The Waters – by Gary Morley

A Review in 3 acts Act 1 – the setting of the scene Here In deepest Berkshire, not much seems to happen, or is not in the public domain until after the fact. George Michael lived down the road from us, we didn’t know until after his sad departure. All his good deeds then became…

Review – Trojan Horse – Fukushima Surfer Boys – by Gary Morley

The task set by the wallet emptier was a simple one (which befits me, a simple man) Write a review of Trojan Horse’s new pile of songs in a week or? The implied threat of Sundry Sociopathic Pachyderms arriving For A Quiet Word? was implied rather than over stated. So here we go, a live…

Review – Andy Summers – Triboluminescence – by Gary Morley

The following fragment of my review was recovered from the hard drive of my (now deceased) PC. This new shining Windows 10 machine is sleek, slim and functional, but does it like Prog? One way to find out – Mr Andy Summers, if you please :- TRIBOLUMINESCENCE is actually a scientific word that means creating…

Live Review – Lonely Robot – The Big Dream Album Launch by Gary Morley

The following was scribbled on my phone as I watched from the vantage of the Merch Desk’s Forward command post (thanks to Brigadier Nellie Pitts). It’s a good crowd of people with hair that time forgot… I’m jealous. My locks decided to leave me years ago, sacrificed to the trinity of job, mortgage and respectability.…

Review – Barock Project – Detachment – by Gary Morley

I discovered the talented Italian band The Barock Project after Nellie Pitts recommended their album ‘Skyline’ to me. I took a gamble and sent her a postal order (or was it a cheque?). Anyway, the sound of young Mediterranean youth playing their hearts out soon won me over. They then upped the ante with an…

Review – The Neal Morse Band – The Similitude Of A Dream – By Gary Morley

Everyone has an opinion. Either carefully constructed after reading up, researching and questioning all and sundry, or shot from the hip in nanoseconds without further thought of the ramifications of the snowball as it grows. Neal Morse. Opinions on him are as many and verbose as is his output. Unlike his output, they are binary…

Progradar Best Of 2016 – Gary Morley’s Top 10 With Statistics

I was supposed to have compiled a list of my top 10 ( I Think it was) albums of the year to be added to the sum worth of Progradar s scribbling? But I got sidetracked, applied work head and started an analysis what I’d bought and the statistics it presented me with. I blame…

Review – The Far Meadow – Given The Impossible – by Gary Morley

A challenge from the wallet emptier? I’m to listen to a new release on Naughty Pachyderm’s imprint, write a review and post it off all before David The Progmeister? Elliot realises I’ve been listening through the keyhole of his prog vault. So I sneaked into Elephant HQ, snuck under the wallet emptier’s detection wet string…

Review – Crippled Black Phoenix – Bronze – by Gary Morley

I have a love hate relationship with post rock. It depends on the weather I think. Someday a gumbo mix of old Black Sabbath riffs, Bauhaus vocal growls and thundering Bonham influenced drums hits that spot. Other days the everything louder than everything else mantra grates and I want a simple clean palate of sound.…
