In 1987 the grand finale of Marillion's Fish-era was released, "Clutching at Straws". Just like the previous three albums, this album seemed to be yet another chapter in the biography of Fish's life. Whereas he previously wrote lyrics about the loss of (some of his) friends and (his) childhood, this album is not any more uplifting, most of it deals with addictions to both alcohol as well as drugs. I always personally had the strong feeling that all four albums Marillion released with Fish onboard were one conceptual piece of art, ranging from his childhood to his adulthood and various problems he encountered on the way towards adulthood. progarchives.com

Though the arrival of Seaweed introduced a slight techno element to the music, the transition was subtle, and this a slight evolution rather than a significant departure from the usual Ozrics sound.

«30 Seconds to Mars» («30 секунд до Марса») — американская группа из Лос-Анджелеса, штат Калифорния, исполняющая альтернативный рок. Основана в 1998 году братьями Джаредом и Шенноном Лето. Название группы было взято участниками из статьи бывшего гарвардского профессора, где шла речь о технологическом прогрессе, в результате которого человечество в буквальном смысле слова окажется вскоре «в тридцати секундах от Марса». Интересно отметить, что даже со скоростью света минимальное расстояние от Земли до Марса (во время противостояния) нельзя преодолеть быстрее 3 минут.

"Like they always do, Ozric Tentacles perform excellent psychedelic sound scapes that never bore the listener. There's a succession of calm and wild parts in each instrumental track. On several moments the psychedelic Hawkwind influence is apparent in the chaotic atmospheres. In other excerpts you'll find traces of eastern music, reggae or ambient. In this kind of music, you would expect the use of an electronic drum or drum computer but Ozric alwas uses real conventional drums which sound timeless. They also manage to keep the sound of the guitar very seventies." progarchives.com

Aladdin Sane is an album by David Bowie, released by RCA Records in 1973. The follow-up to his breakthrough The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, it was the first album Bowie wrote and released as a bona fide pop star. While many critics agree that it contains some of his best material, opinion as to its overall quality has often been divided. NME editors Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray called the album "oddly unsatisfying, considerably less than the sum of the parts", while Bowie encyclopedist Nicholas Pegg describes it as "one of the most urgent, compelling and essential" of his releases. The Rolling Stone review by Ben Gerson pronounced it "less manic than The Man Who Sold The World, and less intimate than Hunky Dory, with none of its attacks of self-doubt." It was one of six Bowie entries in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time (at #277) and ranked #77 on Pitchfork Media's Top 100 Albums of the 1970s.

This are the studio demo tracks the band drawn on to record the final mix of their "Wall" album: every track is a radically different. It includes loads of unedited mixes, never released tracks (merged into other songs), different lyrics, original sound collages etc... Without the full lush arrangements you get a good idea of what Roger Waters had in mind when he first conceived The Wall. It is a real surprise is to hear the band experimenting with all sorts of different ideas that didn't make it onto the final mix for most: various synth lines, weird sounds, raw guitars, strange sound collages etc... One can appreciate the massive task of editing and changing most of these songs to fit on the double album we all know. It is just like being in the studio with the Floyd, and it is "The Wall" like you have never heard it before!

In spring of 1994, in São Paulo (Brazil), Milan Mladenovic (Ekatarina Velika) and Mitar Subotić made “Angel’s Breath” - fascinating amalgamation of Brazilian and Balkan folk motives with bitterness of Milan Mladenovics lyrics.

Here We Go Magic is a five-piece band made up of members Luke Temple, Kristina Lieberson, Michael Bloch, Jennifer Turner, and Peter Hale. They originally came together in New York in early 2009 through a series of chance encounters, overheard conversations and supernatural occurrences. They spent much of 2009 on successive North American and European tours with bands such Department of Eagles, Grizzly Bear, and the Walkmen, before retreating to a house near East Branch, NY to record their second full length LP. Pigeons, set for release on Secretly Canadian in late Spring 2010, was produced and recorded by Here We Go Magic over four months in the late Summer and Fall of 2009. The band plans extensive touring in conjunction with its release.
