Peter Hammill (из Van Der Graaf Generator) и Gary Lucas (известный своим участием в The Magic Band, Jeff Buckley) объединили свои усилия, представляя на наш строгий суд новый опус на космическую тематику под названием "Other World". Мистер Хэммилл и его соавтор пригоршнями черпают вдохновение из бездонных кладовых прогрессивного рока, который по своей сути действительно представляет собой некий "другой мир" по сравнению с иными жанрами музыки. Диск включает 14 треков. Питер и Гарри знакомы ещё с 1973 г., впервые встретившись во время шоу Хэммилла в Эйлесбёри, а решение записать совместный альбом возникло у них, как я понял, в январе 2012 г. Альбом поступит в продажу 3 февраля, а пока можно ознакомиться с промо-роликом дуэта на YouTube, что я, собственно, и делаю с превеликим удовольствием. Полученный результат подвиг Питера и Гэри на решение дать в начале 2014 г. серию живых концертов.

Am 4. März 1970 kam ein Lied in die deutsche Hitparade, das bis auf Platz 1 empor schnellen und zum Bestseller des Jahres werden sollte: "Du" von Peter Maffay. Damit begann die steile Karriere des kleinen Sängers und Gitarristen aus dem rumänischen Kronstadt. Eine Karriere, die bis heute weitergeht. Früher war Peter Maffay als Schnulzensänger abgestempelt, bis er 1979 mit dem Album Steppenwolf zeigte, wo künftig sein Rock-Weg hinführen würde. Dass er inzwischen mit Kindermusicals wie Tabaluga Edelmetallauszeichnungen einheimst, dass er mit Musikern aus aller Welt Ethnopop und Multikulti-Rock einspielt, tut seinem inzwischen gefestigten Image als deutscher Super-Rockstar keinen Abbruch, im Gegenteil.

Pentangle (or The Pentangle) are a British folk-jazz band with an eclectic mix of folk, jazz, blues and folk rock influences. The original band was active in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and a later version has been active since the early 1980s. The original line-up, which was unchanged throughout the band's first incarnation (1967–1973), was: Jacqui McShee, vocals; John Renbourn, vocals and guitar; Bert Jansch, vocals and guitar; Danny Thompson, double bass; and Terry Cox, drums.
The name Pentangle was chosen to represent the five members of the band, and is also the device on Sir Gawain's shield in the Middle English poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight which held a fascination for Renbourn.
In 2007, the original members of the band were reunited to receive a Lifetime Achievement award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and to record a short concert that was broadcast on BBC radio. In June 2008, the band, comprising all five original members, embarked on a twelve-date UK tour.

И открывающее новый безымянный альбом Pantheist превосходное симфо-металлическое интро с фирменной атмосферой, насыщенное мелодиями больше иных полноформатных альбомов, - это замечательный повод забыть о группе как о фьюнерал-думе. "Broken Statue" - весьма оригинальная прог-роковая композиция начинается несколько обескураживающее и простовато, но уже к её середине разочарование улетучивается так же внезапно, как и появилось, благодаря интересным мелодиям и запоминающемуся припеву. Тем более, что следующий трек "The Storm" всё же обладает думовыми риффами и порадует аж минутой гроулинга.
