2016 Sampler

by Bad Elephant Music

supported by

Alrihkh Sort of a toss-up for a fave, here, betwixt the song I picked & the track by ‘The Rube Goldberg Machine’. A lot of good & decent melodic prog represented on this comp, albeit I find many tracks less than outstanding &, thus, forgettable. Mayhap, partially, because I subject myself to a constant play of music. Still, though, this is a worthy introduction to many interesting artists worthy of further exploration. Thx, Naughty Pachyderm & friends!
7/10.
Favorite track: The Man Who Learned To Fly.

Carsten Pieper Whenever you stumble over a promising label or musician, a sampler is a welcome way to dig into its offerings.

"independent sounds for independent souls" as the label, er, labels itself. Many of those sounds come from the realm of the Proggy Rocks (though not from its fat-out reaches).

And this is a looong compilation (about 3 hours!) often indulging in the longer tracks of the featured albums, which is a welcome deviation from usual compilation politics ;-) Favorite track: The Decayed Reflection (A Verbal Delirium).
