Ben Craven is one of Australia's top progressive-rock
singer/songwriters. He recently released his latest album "Last Chance
To Hear" in March. The new ten-song release begins with the hard rock
groove of "Last Chance To Hear, Part 1" as all the instrumentation comes
together perfectly to lift things off. The grand appeal of "Critical
Mass, Part 1 & 2" showcases Craven's knack for expanding beyond the
boundaries of prog-rock as the song's full orchestration takes you on a
sonic adventure. The eight-minute epic "Spy In The Sky, Part 3" is
helped along by the great William Shatner on vocals. Ben Craven digs in
with his seventies rock influences on the quick-paced "Revenge Of Dr.
Komodo," before finishing with the gentle piano-ballad "Mortal Remains."

Curved Air co-founder Darryl Way recently released his latest album
"Myths, Legends And Tales" on April 1st. It features ten songs, mixing
together an early progressive rock sound with symphonic rock movements
in order to showcase his broad range of songwriting. Beginning with
"Apollo (Racing Against The Sun)," Darryl brings back that classic
Curved Air sound with this atmospheric piece. He continues with the
orchestral rock of "Orpheus And The Underworld" as his instrumentals
tell the perfect tale of good vs. evil. He injects a youthful energy
into the dark tones of "Dove Of Peace," before gliding through space and
time during "Strange Goings On." He softens his sound for the emotional
ballad of "The Ice Man," then lays down a country rhythm for "Helter
Skelter," before closing with the nine-minute prog-rock epic "Prometheus
Chained." To find out more about Darryl Way and his latest release
