Someone needs to tell _all_ these bands - and possibly the curator - that "progressive" does not mean repeating the same idea, no matter how good, so many times that even your fans are screaming for you to stop. It does not mean then switching to the next idea and repeating that until it's bored the audience into submission. And then switching to the next. Progressive means having new ideas.

The echo of Metallica from obe on BoPMD just needed to get a mention... OESOUS is very nice, too. As ever, every track on the collection has something going for it, with a focussed yet diverse coverage of the genre.

A group that I know only too well, I’ve been with them for nearly 30 years; from their Glaswegian basement origins to their current status as Arena band. My enthusiasm for their later output may have tempered somewhat as the mighty ‘Gwai evolved their sound to avoid pigeonholing, but there is nothing better than when they lay waste to a venue via the sheer euphoria of ‘Helicon 1’. They’re still devastating live and, after all those years, THE authority in Instrumental Rock music.
