Solar Project releases their by now 12th concept album titled "Ghost Lights" under the label New Music - Green Tree. The spectrum of Solar Project's music can be described best as progressive rock, sensitive, interleaved, driving, with enduring arcs of suspense and surprising turns, disturbing and bewitching.
The album sets into music the human behavior misdirected by "ghost lights". The title track "Ghost Lights" describes the systematic destruction of planet Earth by mankind in search for power and wealth. "Prey" illustrates the meaningless hunt to urge and the associated urge to kill. "On The Run" questions the mental state of man, who is sawing off the branch they are sitting on. "Chivvy" uncovers the brutal recklessness of man among themselves. "Fen-Fire" brands the non-existing perception of global problems and the resulting dire consequences.

So when Juha Kujanpää contacted us about his new album ‘Goldwing’ (‘Kultasiipi’ in Finnish) which combined progressive rock and Nordic folk, I didn't bat an eyelid, in fact I was clicking the enclosed links quicker than ever. It’s the 2nd solo album from the Finnish composer, who has worked with many different artists in Finland, and whilst its taken while for us to have chance to listen, it’s immediately had an impact as an interesting and in most parts beautiful album, which is well worth checking out - particularly if you like progressive and modern classical music. ~ Nordic Music

“Feelings are good,” a vocoder-soaked John Mitchell tells us at the beginning of Lonely Robot’s fourth album. The sentiment of this album’s title, and its opening title track, could not have come at a more appropriate time, as in 2020 people all around the world find themselves awash in a sea of myriad feelings, considering everything happening in the world these days.
