“Seattle's prog-rockers Presto Ballet release their sixth studio album "The Days Between". Founded by Metal Church guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof in 2005, Presto Ballet combines the melodic and harmonic old school aspects with the neo progressive rock sound of today. While their sound is often compared to the early works of Kansas, Rush, and Yes, Presto Ballet still maintains it's own identity. In regards to the musical direction of "The Days Between", guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof comments, "This new album is...

“Each of the three pillars of the piece -- choir, metal trio, and pipe organ -- are operating within their own algorithms, their own keys, time and tempo. And the piece is written for them to be on parallel tracks but making a different fourth thing, dovetailing together on the cadences.
Eventually we all began to be able to hear how it all worked, what notes the choir should be singing when you, as the guitarist, were on your third beat of bar number 15, a 4/4 bar, at quarter note = 60, as they....

A "freedom" album of sorts, beyond the...

“Priska is a world apart. I think there is no one like her. She writes haunting melodies with a strong hook that linger in your mind. She is French born but lives in a sort of a reclusion in a small village on a river, lost in the north east of Italy, in the Alps. She is wild and sings heartfelt tunes, happy sad and very peculiar ones but she enchanted the likes of Paul Roland and Annie Brabazza and they will start collaborate in the next future.
Priska’s voice is something in a world apart, too...

"An incredible pioneering electronic album recorded in the early 1970's, from the first Canadian artist signed to Island Records. Serious headphone music made under the influence of Stockhausen, John Cage, Ornette Coleman, Stravinsky, Frank Zappa, Weather Report, Charles Ives and others -- and with a sound that's often compared to that of early Eno and the first two Kraftwerk albums. Indefinable compositions integrate the earliest of portable synthesizers (ARP 2600 and EMS AKS) with acoustic instruments...
