The renowned keyboardist of Yes is on a journey to the dark side with the spine-tingling drama of "Ascreaeus Mons", the first single from his album 'The Red Planet'. Rick Wakeman demonstrates his edgy approach to music on this thumping piece which builds with intensity. Catch up with the iconic progressive Rock artist below as he takes you through the making of the album.
“The original members of Nektar; Derek "Mo" Moore, Ron Howden, and Mick Brockett are back. We've added Ryche Chlanda from Fireballet and the 78' band, Randy Dembo from the 2005 band, and newcomer and world-class keyboard player, Kendall Scott.
The music for our new album "The Other Side" comes from the 1978 era when we were writing in Mo's basement in Chatham, New Jersey. This music was put on pause for the last 40 YEARS and it's now time to release it with new input and fresh ideas. The music is growing exponentially as we continue rehearsing and writing and letting it take us to new heights.” - www.nektarsmusic.com

Just great and amazing jam on the ETTORE LO FUSTO side with the Complesso Il Punto performing some Killer Prog-Funk grooves with loads of Psychedelic riffs, pressing and owerpowering rhythms and a vein of Funky. Full side is Progressive trip with stoned flutes, great drums and lovely groovy Score themes.
"Mondo Drag will knock your socks off, let your hair down and take you on a mind's eye exploration you won't soon forget. Though they exude love for the spiraling tapestry of heavy psychedelia of the past, they are on a rock and roll mission all their own: an unearthed prog band, futuristic in their time capsule, rocketing forward through the depths, gathering the sounds of space itself."
