Re: 2022 Work in Progress..ive
INNER PROSPEKT
ABOUT INNER PROSPEKT "INNER PROSPEKT" or Alessandro Di Benedetti multi-instrumentalist with a preference for keyboards that I have been following for many years with a long discography, I thought he was the classic lone wolf closed in his recording studio in the center of Rome immersed in a room full of instruments to be recorded on tracks to then arrive at the creation of his solo albums .... and instead today looking for information on Alessandro I discover that he created his own group Mad Crayon and released 4 albums from 1994 until the last one in 2020 all of a good level that I started listening to, the best according to the critics should be "PREDA" which is ' also featured on Aural Moon and not only .... many of the keyboards of the last eight albums from 2019 to 2022 of "THE SAMURAI OF PROG" until to the album "The Spaghetti Epic 4" are by Alessandro Di Benedetti. From his last solo album "GREY ORIGIN" I have chosen "The Machinery" to include it in the best tracks of 2022.

DEREK SHERINIAN
ABOUT DEREK SHERINIAN ....DEREK SHERINIAN Biography from Progarchives.com Derek Sherinian biography Born August 25, 1966 (Laguna Beach, California, USA) DEREK SHERINIAN is an American keyboardist well known for a prolific recording and touring career, and has played as a side man to numerous musicians on tour, many very well known in the rock industry, such as BILLY IDOL, ALIC COOPER, ALICE IN CHAINS, and others. In the studio, he can be found on records from many bands, both his and others' projects, such as DREAM THEATER , PLANET X , PLATYPUS , and others. In conjunction with this, he has had an active solo career for over a decade, producing hard-hitting jazz rock albums with a metal edge. Many often feature famous guest musicians that he'd toured with. SHERINIAN began playing piano at age five. He received a scholarship to the esteemed Berklee College of Music while in high school, and he went on to room and meet with many soon-to-be-famous musicians, such as future MEGADETH and SAVATAGE guitarist Al PITERLI, and the three founding members of DREAM THEATER. After leaving Boston, SHERINIAN made his first success in touring with ALICE COOPER in 1989. He went on to tour with many bands during that period. In 1994, SHERINIAN was called by his former schoolmates John PETRUCCI, John MYUNG, and Mike PORTNOY to ask him to replace former keyboardist Kevin MOORE during their 1994 "Waking up the World" tour in support of their third studio album "Awake." After a successful tour (despite singer James LaBRIE's wrecked vocal chords during the tour), the band asked him to remain as their permanent keyboardist. He went on to record the "A Change of Seasons" EP, "Falling into Infinity," and "Once in a LIVEtime" with the band, before being asked to leave the band. He was replaced with Jordan RUDESS, whose style the band thought would better suit their music. After his stint with DREAM THEATER, SHERINIAN went on to begin a prolific recording career. Beginning in 1998 with he, John MYUNG (of DREAM THEATE  , Rod MORGENSTEIN (of DIXIE DREGS), and Ty TABOR (of KING'S X) began the recording project PLATYPUS and released two albums, "When Pus Comes to Shove" in 1998 and "Ice Cycles" in 2000, after which the band broke up (only to reform under the moniker THE JELLY JAM without SHERINIAN).This was followed finally by the genesis of his solo career. His first solo album was titled "Planet X" and was released in 1999. He recorded the spacey, metallic jazz rock album in collaboration with drummer Virgil DONATI. The album led to SHERINIAN and DONATI forming a side project of the same name making similar music to the album. "Planet X" was followed by "Inertia" in 2001, which featured a very similar style. 2003 saw the release of "Black Utopia," which was a much darker and metallic album, with the obvious jazz rock foundation still present. "Mythology" was released in 2004 and had a stronger jazz fusion feel than his other albums. The album featured a number of fusion and rock legends, such as Alan HOLDSWORTH, Jerry GOODMAN, and others. 2006 saw "Blood of the Snake" be released, which was a much more metal-heavy album, lacking the distinct jazz edge of his other albums. Appearances from musicians such as Zakk WYLDE, John PETRUCCI, SLASH, and other metal musicians accentuate this theme. SHERINIAN released his sixth studio album, "Molecular Heinosity," in 2009, which continued the style of "Blood of the Snake with a jazzier edge. 2011 saw the release of "Oceana," which was a more laid back jazz rock/metal album, seeming to be a slight return to his roots. SHERINIAN plays in a style very akin to a guitar playing, often turning his keyboard at a reflexive angle as so he can play like a guitar. He cites influences ranging from Jan HAMMER to Keith EMERSON to Steve VAI and Alan HOLDSWORTH. His dynamic style has gained him a considerable amount of praise and respect in the music world. With his current track record, one can assume fans can expect more quality SHERINIAN music for a long time.

JEAN MICHEL JARRE
ABOUT JEAN MICHEL JARRE ....JEAN MICHEL JARRE Biography from Official website JEAN-MICHEL JARRE FIRST CAME TO INTERNATIONAL FAME WITH HIS NUMBER ONE HIT ALBUM « OXYGENE » WHICH WENT ON TO SELL OVER 18 MILLION COPIES WORLDWIDE. Composer, performer, producer. Visionary, innovator, cultural ambassador. Any list of Jean-Michel Jarre’s countless factettes would inevitably come short of his actual significance in music history. “JMJ” is a living legend and often referred to as the “Godfather of Electronic Music”. When Jarre launched his landmark- debut album “OXYGENE” in 1976, he opened a new chapter in music history. The record has sold over 18 million copies and laid the foundations for his exceptional career. Jarre’s pioneering work gave birth to a veritable cult and the fastest-growing trend the music industry has ever stood to witness: the rise of electronic music. Jean-Michel Jarre’s music always followed his firm conviction that progress could only ever be achieved through daring deviations from the norm. Born to famous film music composer and director Maurice Jarre, JMJ studied harmony and counterpoint, became a student of the great musicologist Pierre Schaeffer and began drawing his own creative conclusions from his mentor’s “musique concrète”. Boldly balancing between the spheric-abstract and the very direct melodic foundations of his music, Jarre managed to evoke the poetry of encounter and connection: between people, between handmade and high-tech, between organic and artificial, between wisdom and vision. Jarre’s visionary creative output is perpetually linked to his innovative exploration of new technological trends. From the first modular and polyphone synth and drum-machines to digital keyboards, plug-ins and apps, JMJ is always one the forefront to use them. He was the one to popularize the laser harp, he used the Houston skyline at a gigantic outdoor concert in 1986 as a projection surface for the first-ever large-scale laser-mapping performance and set up a live video connection to the MIR astronauts in space during his epic Moscow spectacle in 1997. His millennium concert in Egypt was the first concert ever to be streamed live on the internet. Jarre was also the first to release an entire album in 5.1. Sound and the first artist to use 3D audio technology for music. Jarre, a three time Guinness World Record holder for largest outdoor performances, was always keen to present his music in one-off events and turning them into unforgettable experiences for those present. Jarre came up with the idea to create a whole new form of live experience: gigantic and flamboyant high- tech performances. Spectacular shows with massive sound engineering and futuristic laser and light projections : free outdoor concerts that incorporated their iconic urban and natural surroundings into unforgettable multi-sensory experiences. Jarre set up these concerts in the most specular open air venues around the globe: Whilst Jarre is at the forefront of artists using new technology for music, his art was always accompanied by deep reflections on the role of technology for the future of our planet. The famous 1976 Oxygene cover that showcased the polluted mother earth in form of a skull, the Equinoxe cover by artist Michel Granger which was both fascinating and disturbing, added to the most iconic cover artworks of all time: countless rows of mysterious and utterly faceless “watchers” seemed to stare right at whoever looked at the image : an early vision of technology constantly watching us. Just recently the cover art for Equinoxe Infinity caused a stir. It was released in two versions. One visual depicts a utopian future, where mankind coexists peacefully with nature and technology. The other one paints a dystopian picture of fear and distortion, where dark Artificial Intelligence has taken over the world. Optimistic in nature and yet critic in spirit, Jarre always raised awareness for questions around nature and technology— and became a globally renowned expert on the topics. He was honoured with the Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication, collaborated with Edward Snowden, tested Artificial Intelligence for music compositions and is constantly invited to share his thoughts in speeches and forums. The UN appointed Jarre UNESCO spokesperson for Environment and Education, and in 2013 he was elected President of the Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC) in Washington. Jarre’s expertise is in demand, his input highly valued.

DAAL
ABOUT DAAL ....DAAL Biography from Progarchives.com Formed in Bergamo, Italy, in 2008 DAAL is an Italian duet. It's a project by Davide GUIDONI and Alfio COSTA. They're both experienced musicians on Italian Prog rock scene - Guidoni is a drummer who had been working with Taproban, The Far Side, Gallant Farm, Nuova Era, Ozone Player and others. Costa (Tilion, Prowlers, Colossus project, Dark Session) plays keyboards - mostly vintage ones, as well as some softsynths. It's not surprising their music is rich in lush textures, with emphasis on a multitude of layers; a heritage of Italian Progressive Rock movement is evident, as well as various other influences. A curiosity is their nod to a Swedish progressive rock scene. interesting Italian duo of this new album that below I propose a review found on the site www.progrockjournal.com and with which I totally agree. from the album I chose the first track "Journey Trought The Spiral Mind part.1" review from www.progrockjournal.com DAAL is an Italian duo made up of expert musicians Alfio Costa and Davide Guidoni, active with this Instrumental Prog project since 2008. The new album “Daedalus” was released on May 13, 2022 via Ma.Ra.Cash Records and contains 6 long tracks. duration at which Ettore Salati on guitar and Bobo Aiofi on bass are played. The opening track “Journey Trought The Spiral Mind part.1” is the longest in duration, exceeding 14 minutes and is the first part of this suite ending with the final track. A long intro with effects and noises begins the piece, which develops with an intertwining of piano and guitar to which deep bass lines and percussion drumming are added. For most of the time the track moves in a more experimental territory, with extensive use of effects and noises and avant-garde sounds. In the end it takes on more progressive traits, always with an intricate touch, and then closes. With a solid rhythmic session and a granite intertwining between heavy guitar riffs and keyboards opens “Icarus Dream,” also extracted as a single to anticipate the album. A good mix between keyboards and guitar, a tight rhythm and tempo changes with valuable inserts at times Experimental in other more Symphonic ones. An excellent piece of Instrumental Prog, full of ideas and with a solid and elaborate sound. “Painting Wings” opens with dreamy keyboard melodies, which characterize the long introductory part, which lasts over 3 minutes. With a change they develop a Prog theme with a sumptuous Hammond a Symphonic imprint that reminds us of the sounds of the past. Granitic and engaging, it is enriched by tempo changes and valuable keyboard works, to conclude in the second part with a more Experimental section. A first Experimental part characterizes the long suite “Labyrinth 66,” and then in the second part develops a very elaborate Prog with Jazzy traits. Enriched by the textures of the guitar, which offers an interesting solo inspiration, duet with the keyboards for the whole second part. A track with two faces, the first with decidedly more Experimental effects and noises, the second with a Jazzy Prog Rock, solid and full of quality ideas. The shorter track on the album “In My Time Of Shadow” begins with a piano melody, which evolves into a vintage Sinfonic Prog sound. Rich textures of keyboard and guitar, a softer rhyming session, long instrumental plots as in the best tradition of the genre, enhancing the compositional and executive technique of the band. The album ends with the second part of the suite “Journey Trought The Spiral Mind part.2” which unlike the first one has a pompous Prog sound. With continuous tempo changes and a fine blend of guitar and keyboards, he brings the sounds of the past into a modern and personal context. A pleasant listening from start to finish, with the band skilled in mixing Classic Prog passages with other more Experimental ones. The long instrumental plots allow to enhance the personal technique of the artists both in the compositional and executive phases. A listening recommended to all lovers of instrumental prog, with references to the ’70s, brought to the present day with their own personal touch.

Through much experience in some outfits Justin had harboured his own soundscape and enthusiasm for 'macabre stoner/doomy progressive rock', which could let every collaborator go the same steady way regardless of such an unsteady formation of the project. CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX made Justin's ideas more concrete - encouraged especially by Dominic AITCHISON the Mogwai's bassist - and released their debut album 'A Love Of Shared Disasters' from Invada Records, managed by Portishead?s Geoff Barrow, in 2006. Repeating the band segmentation and fusion as before, CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX now go ahead in stage and studio, for gigging many times around Europe and releasing a box set 'The Resurrectionists/Night Raider' and the selection of this box '200 Tons Of Bad Luck' in 2009.
