News you can use!
Alan was very happy to record the primary guitar part for a very complex track on Greco Bastián’s great new RIO album, WALHF MORE F. The tune is called “Blacamán, the bad one” and the album can be streamed (and purchased) here.
Alan, Greg, Henry and Mark had a fantastic time joining Frank Long for another extended interview. This time, the topic was “Albums that probably are not in a prog fan’s collection, but should be!” and everyone brought some very interesting recommendations to the table—many of which ended up having surprisingly personal connections.
Please note that the interview is in two parts, the second of which can played here. A most heartfelt round of thanks to Frank for the opportunity. We hope you enjoy our choices and, perhaps, find a new favorite or two along the way.
Alan (founding Advent member) is very proud to be releasing his debut solo single on Friday, December 1st. It’s an original instrumental composition called “Better Days” on which Alan plays piano, fretless bass, electric guitars, classical guitar, and drums. Upon initial release, the track will be exclusively available (for streaming and/or download) on Alan’s new Bandcamp page. We very much hope that you’ll have a listen.
As of January 19, 2024, “Better Days” is also available on all major streaming platforms.
We had such a blast talking with Frank Long yesterday, covering many different music-related topics including backgrounds, connections, and even spontaneously tackling the infamous “What is prog?” question. All five of us learned more about each other as well (something that doesn’t happen too often). A huge thank-you to Frank for a most engaging discussion that we hope you’ll enjoy as well!
