I Know You Well Miss Clara - Chapter One
Review by Gary Hill
What an odd name for a band.

More
Mike Ian - The Learning Tree
Review by Gary Hill
If you like melodic prog that leans on the AOR side of the equation, you are likely to enjoy this release. It's a solid set that has some moments of sheer brilliance.

More
Chris Ianuzzi - Olga in a Black Hole
Review by Gary Hill

I am not convinced this fits under the progressive rock banner. I'm not sure where else it fits, though.


More
Chris Ianuzzi - Planeteria
Review by Gary Hill

Chris Ianuzzi's music is not progressive rock in any kind of strict definition. He produces a form of freeform artsy electronic music, though.


More
Ice Age - The Great Divide
Review by Gary Hill
It would be easy to describe this album by saying that it is very Dream Theater influenced. It would also be somewhat inaccurate. Yes, there are a lot of Dream Theater influences throughout, but there are other leanings here as well.
More
Ice Age - Liberation
Review by Gary Hill
Ice Age, Josh Pincus, Jimmy Pappas, Hal Aponte and Arron DiCesare have released Liberation, the follow up to their critically acclaimed debut, The Great Divide.

More
Il Cerchio d'Oro - Dedalo E Icaro
Review by Gary Hill
This is quite a cool album. It has a lot of classic prog built into it, but also fusion and many other things.

More
Il Rumore Bianco - Mediocrazia
Review by Gary Hill
This short release (four tracks, roughly half an hour) is quite strong.

More
Illuminated Minerva - Enigma Adamantine
Review by Gary Hill
This new set is an instrumental one. That said, there are voices, but they are spoken ones, coming from sound bites of interviews and such.

More
Illusion - Out of the Mist/Illusion
Review by Steve Alspach
There are fewer musical bedfellows stranger than the Yardbirds and Renaissance. The seminal 1960s blues-psychedelia-based band featuring Beck, Clapton, and Page seem to have little in common with the group that put the rock in Rachmaninov.
More
Imagery - The Inner Journey
Review by Gary Hill
The mix of sounds on this is quite cool.

More
iNFiNiEN - Light at the Endless Tunnel
Review by Gary Hill
This is the new album from these guys. They are an incredibly creative act.

More
The Infinity Zoo - ForeverScape EPisode 1
Review by Gary Hill

Carlos Severe Marcelin is a busy guy. Not only is he part of the Sally Tomato group, but he just released a solo album and this collaboration project with drummer Eric Flint.


More
Ingranaggi della Valle - In Hoc Signo
Review by Gary Hill
Italian prog is a sub-genre all its own. There are people thoroughly devoted to the musical style.

More
Ingranaggi della Valle - Warm Spaced Blue
Review by Gary Hill
This is such a cool album. It's modern in some ways, but really the grounding is within the more old school type of prog. There are symphonic things here, jazzy prog elements and more. 

More
Innsmouth Gold - Illustrations of Madness
Review by Gary Hill
This set is based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft. It’s theatrical and often atmospheric.

More
Innsmouth Gold - Ritual and Dream
Review by Gary Hill
Based on H.P. Lovecraft, this album is suitably creepy.

More
Intelligent Music Project II - My Kind O’ Lovin’
Review by Gary Hill
This is quite a diverse set, covering things from jazz to hard rock, progressive rock and more.

More
Intelligent Music Project III - Touching the Divine
Review by Gary Hill
This set is quite effective. It’s prog rock, but in a very AOR sense.

More
Intelligent Music Project V - Life Motion
Review by Gary Hill

This new set is part of a series of releases, that I treat as separate artists. Perhaps I should have started doing it differently.


More
Intelligent Music Project VI - The Creation
Review by Gary Hill
As more and more of these projects come out, I wish I had organized the first ones differently. Each successive album from this act gets a higher number.

More
Intelligent Music Project VII - Unconditioned
Review by Gary Hill
This act is always so confusing because with each album it seems they take on a new name. with each new album.  

More
The Interplanetary Acoustic Team - 11 11 (Me, Smiling)
Review by Gary Hill
This is quite a special album, in more ways than one. For one thing, the blend of electronic music, art rock, psychedelia, prog and more has earned it a place in my "best of 2018" list.

More
IO - Strange Tales From The Urban Circle
Review by Gary Hill
In fairly sedate prog modes, this is Canadian prog. The band seems a lot more interested in creating strong melody lines and coherent songs than they are in who is going to take a solo and in what way to enshrine the instrumental break.
More
IQ - The Seventh House
Review by Steve Alspach
I don't know what it is about bands like IQ that I find endearing - well, they're not one of those "bobblehead" bands that are springing up on every corner, for one thing - but I get the impression that they do what they do not to make a grand statement, but simply because it probably never occurred to them to do anything else.
More
IQ - Dark Matter
Review by Steve Alspach
Having reviewed the last Jadis album, my curiosity was piqued by the fact that two of the band members were from IQ. I found their latest CD (independent CD stores - ya gotta love 'em), and gave it a spin.
More
It Bites - Eat Me In St. Louis
Review by John Pierpoint
This was the last studio album from the original line-up of It Bites.

More
It's Just Craig - Dark Corners
Review by Gary Hill
This isn't the tightest fit under progressive rock, but it works in that category.

More
Srdjan Ivanovic Blazin' Quartet - Sleeping Beauty
Review by Gary Hill
With a healthy helping of experimental jazz built into it, this is an intriguing set.

More
Ivory Tower Project - How Much More?
Review by Gary Hill
This act is billed as "classic rock." I'm not sure that is a real genre.

More
Izz - Ampersand Volume I
Review by Josh Turner
For those not already familiar with Izz, this is one of the best bands of the genre. As for their sound, there are many similarities to Spock's Beard in their songwriting and style.
More
Izz - Sliver of A Sun
Review by Gary Hill

Definitely progressive rock in the '70's tradition, this album takes elements of many classic prog bands and combines them into a mix all their own. Among the bands who Izz seems to give a stylistic nod to are Yes, Genesis, UK, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and Renaissance.


More
Izz - Ampersand, Volume 2
Review by Gary Hill
This new album is very intriguing. The music changes a lot from song to song.

More
Izz - Don't Panic
Review by Gary Hill
This new release from Izz could well be their best yet. It's also a contender to land on my "best of 2019" list. The modern take on classic prog sounds works very well.

More
Izz - I Move (Anniversary Edition)
Review by Gary Hill
I like Izz quite a bit, but I have to admit that I never heard this particular album before. This is a 20th Anniversary edition release.
