Myrath

Just a quick one to mention an album I've spent a fair amount of time on recently.

Myrath - Merciless Times (Tales of the Sand, 2011)

Myrath hail from Tunisia, and they make many lovely sounds. Label mates include Adagio, Tarja and weirdly, Simply Red.

Check them out.

So I was in the pub.

The jukebox was biding its time between swallowing pound coins by playing random tracks. there was some Phil Collins, and some B*Witched which I was pretty happy about, but at some point in the evening this chorus grabbed me by the ears.

Very nice. This is the kind of thing of which I can imagine Jem Godfrey would produce a brilliant cover. And it's part of a concept album apparently, but I'm not convinced.

So, something I've been meaning to do for a while is feature some songs and bands who aren't Prog, but are certainly learning that way. More to come, sometime.
