Yves Nasrallah’s Top Release of January 2014
Periphery – Clear
Recommended: Feed The Ground, Extraneous.
Periphery took a new approach with their latest EP “Clear”, with each member writing one song, except for “Overture”, which was written by the whole band. And as expected, each track has its own sound and vibe, inspired by the member’s musical influences. New elements have been added to this release, such as the piano, and the extensive use of electronics.
For fans of: TesseracT, Animals as Leaders.
Rami Rouhana’s Top Release of January 2014
Transatlantic – Kaleidoscope
Recommended: Black as the Sky, Beyond the Sun.
Transatlantic is one of those supergroups who are exceptionally succesful and creative. They keep releasing amazing albums and push the boundaries of creative prog music. The band groups Neal Morse with Roine Stolt, Pete Trewavas and Mike Portnoy and a fifth touring artist from Pain of Salvation, Daniel Gildenlow.
This album is another story of success with lots of positive reviews, a continuation to the massive last work “Whirlwind”.
