British
progressive rock band Curved Air continue their "Rarities" series with
the release of volume 2. It features two discs worth of fifteen new
instrumentals that the band has recorded in the studio. The
new set titled "Curved Space & Infinity" begins with the launch of
"Towards Tomorrow" as the band work together to find the right groove
during their jam session. Their sound gets more ambient with "Sea
Of Tranquility," before taking you on the intense, 14-minute musical
journey of "Baghdad Café/Return To Calvary/Towards Infinity." The tracks
are in no need of words as the music becomes so intricate and solo
heavy that you find yourself digging deeper into the music. The first
disc closes with the exciting guitar driven "Rose."
The
second disc begins with the 15-minute, up-lifting, solo filled
"Elevation." The disc features a different line-up from the first disc,
with only Florian Pilkington-Miksa behind the drum kit. The use of
keyboards is heard throughout the songs as they carry a different, more
experimental tone as in the soft-melody of "Labyrinth" and the
space-like journey of "Expansions." The set finishes with exciting,
free-form playing of "Megalith" and the 16-minute sonic landscape of
"Celestial Dance." To find out more about Curved Air and "Curved Space
& Infinity," their latest release in their rarities series, please

U.K. rock
legends Lucifer's Friend have returned with a brand new studio album
"Too Late To Hate," their first in 35 years. After reforming in 2015,
Lucifer's Friend received such positive feedback performing as the
Sweden Rock Festival, the Rock Of Ages Festival and Loreley Festival,
that they decided to enter the studio. Along with core original members
John Lawton, Peter Hesslein and Dieter Horns, they were joined by long
term members Jogi Wichmann and Stephen Eggert.
The new
twelve-track album begins with the renewed energy of "Demolition Man" as
they pick-up right were they left off in 1981. They continue with the
classic heavy metal groove of "Jokers And Fools," before delivering
their progressive rock piece, "When Children Cry." They keep the energy
flowing with the guitar driven rocker "Tell Me Why" and the slow blues
of "This Time." The album finishes with the radio-friendly tones of
"Tears" and chugging hard rock rhythm of "Brothers Without A Name." To
