craigbSo the female toy was named after the band then?
Glyn BarnesI have found a lot more new music in the last few years, but lets just talk about a few bands I have found in 2016. The Mouletts - They were completly unknown to me until a freind recommended a free concert they gave locally. Quite bonkers really, progressive but not necessarly prog with unusual instrumentation including prominant basson and electric cello. Preternatural was one of my top albums of 2016. Bass player Jim Mortimore's dad was in Gentle Giant and that influence shows! Cairo - Not entirly "new" as I knew Rob Cottingham's work with Touchstone. "Say" was an excellent first album and I and looking forward to the second they are recording at the moment. Ghost Community - I knew bass player Matt Cohen's work in The Reasoning so I was drawn to check out his new band. Another solid first album on the heavier, rockier side of Prog. The Anchoress - A interesting project by Cathrine Ann Davis, its more "poppy" than the stuff I would normally go for but still intresting and unusual. Shades of Kate Bush for sure. Dave Foster Band - Streaching the new thing here because Dave Foster is lead guitarist in one of my favourite bands, Panic Room. I first encountered his solo work at the Panic Room Weekend last May and bought a couple of albums. Certainly not new but a rediscovery for me in 2016 were Marillion I had not paid them much attention and only really knew the 1980's stuff but the last album F.E.A.R. along side BBT's Folklore as my faavourite album of 2016.
