"The phone rang and on the other side of the handset, it was a band from sölvesborgwho wanted to book two weekends to record an album. Coming from (Sweden Rock Festival's hometown) and book a total of 40 hours for an album is probably the most daring thing I've been through in my life. they ignored my suggestion to book 4 weekends entirely, and we rigged up and ran. Said and done, 40 hours and a couple of beers later, they packed up their stuff in a car and drove home. they havecompletely completely disproved and shown me the other Pro-Tools copy / paste world how you should lira real rock n roll. specifically - Heavyweight Rock n Roll. Rig up and run!the result is amazing good! "
While listening to the debut album recorded by the American progressive rock band Gekko Project, the British band Camel immediately crossed my mind and especially the albums Raindances (1977) and Breathless (1978). On these albums Camel made a mixture of progressive rock with elements of jazz-rock and fusion. The same kind of influences is noticeable on Electric Forest.
Alphataurus was one of the great one and done Italian prog bands of the 70s. Who can forget that amazing triple fold out cover with the dove dropping bombs?
This is a live reunion gig recorded at Bloom in Mazzago Italy during the ProgVention Festval on November 6, 2010. This live recording finds the band in astonishingly superb form. The vinyl edition live renditions of the entire first album. Sound quality of the recording is completely professional. If you are fan of Alphataurus or Rock Progressivo Italiano in general this is a must own. If you are planning on seeing the band at Farfest it's a great way to become familiar with their material.

Dutch classic rockers Golden Earring are to release their first studio album in 9 years. The album ‘Tits 'n Ass’ will hit stores on May 11th. With this collection of driving rockers and passionate ballads it's obvious why George Kooymans, Barry Hay, Rinus Gerritsen and Cesar Zuiderwijk are still on top of the Dutch rock scene after 50 years.
