1.
Miranda Lee Richards
With a beautiful soothing voice and ambient dream like music
expression, Miranda Lee Richards couldn’t have picked a better title for her
latest album, “Echoes Of The Dreamtime”. Miranda’s meaningful poetic lyrics are
beautifully displayed in a soft-spoken music that is altogether pleasing to the
senses. My favourite songs from her new album are, “It was Given” and “Already
Fine”. Both songs, presented below, will resonate with a wide variety of music
fans. All I can say is Bravo Miranda! Keep doing it your way, because these
songs are going to stay with us for a long time to come, and are truly worthy
of Gold status. The entire album is soothing medicine so after listening to the
two tracks below, check out more of Miranda’s music at her Official websites
(See links below) for details.
“Echoes Of The Dreamtime” was released worldwide via
London-based indie Invisible Hands Music on January 29, 2016.
It Was Given – Album: Echoes of the Dreamtime (2016)
Miranda Lee Richards was one of the first artists I covered
when I started World United Music back in 2010 on the Minstral Show, so it is
doubly special for me to see that Miranda continues to create great music
today. Here is the 2010 Minstral Show episode that contains two of my favourite
songs “Beautiful Day” and “Last Day’s of Summer” from her 2009 album, “Light of
X”,

Riverside is a rock band from Warsaw, Poland founded in 2001
by friends Mariusz Duda, Piotr Grudziński, Piotr Kozieradzki and Jacek
Melnicki, who shared a love for progressive rock and heavy metal. Riverside can
be described as a blend of atmospheric rock with metal elements, resulting in a
sound similar to that of Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, The Mars Volta, Opeth,
Dream Theater, and Tool, while still maintaining an identity of their own.
They released a music Video for their song “Time Travellers”
on Feb 11th, 2016 on Inside Out Music TV. The song is destined for
classic status as the lyrics and music combine to weave a deep meaningful
understanding to how people the world over feel today…”let’s go back to the
world that was 30 years ago, let’s believe this is our time”…this song should
be on every radio station, sitting at the top of the best songs of 2016, it
certainly is one of the very best with this music fan and I have no doubt in my
mind that the song will resonate with a global audience.

Sadly, Piotr Grudziński Guitarist for Riverside passed away
at the ago of 40 on Feb 21st, 2016 and will be deeply missed by
friends and family and also by his fans. RIP Piotr - (1975 – 2016)
There are many more great Progressive Rock tunes by
Riverside that are absolutely brilliant and truly worth the share here, as they
scream out to me as a good bottle of wine would to wine connoisseur, so I’m
sharing a few bottles of classic Riverside progressive rock today.
Reality Dream III – Album: Second Life Syndrome – (2005)
The Chemistry Set are a groovy Psychedelic Pop band from the
UK that have become a dynasty in their own right as they have seen the front
and backside of the music industry since the 1980’s. Here’s a band with many
stories to tell and are still going strong today with over 41 releases and
counting…oops there’s another one. They released their latest album “The
Endless More and More” on March 8th, 2016.
The Chemistry Set continues to mix the elixirs of sound to
come up with unique psychedelic creations that carry the consciousness for a
new generation of psychedelic rock. Special WOW OUT to, “Elapsed Memories”,
“The Open Window” and “International Rescue”, my favourite songs on their new
album.
“The Endless More and More” has something for everyone and
is truly worth a listen. Check out their album below and then pay them a visit
on Facebook with a high five.

Our fourth big shout out today goes to Dave Kerzner who just
released a new video for his song “My Old Friend” on March 14th,
2016. The song is from his 2014 Album “New World” a progressive rock concept
album that continues to impress. Dave is currently on tour in Europe, so if
you’re in the EU, be sure to check out his schedule and catch an amazing show.
“New World” by Dave Kerzner is a brilliant progressive rock
album filled with meaningful lyrics and imagery that captures the listener from
start to finish. The entire album is a wonderful artistic expression that
fosters a musical experience you can see and feel. “New World” is a definite
must in your progressive rock music collection. Have a listen to the album “New
World” (Embedded Below) and pick the album up directly from the Bandcamp link

Miranda Lee Richards is a gifted Los
Angeles-based singer songwriter. Born in San Francisco after the summer of love
and before the dawn of disco, she grew up in an artistic and bohemian
environment that has informed her adult life and work. Her parents are
well-known underground comic book artists Ted Richards (Forty Year Old Hippy
and Dopin' Dan) and Terre Richards (Suzi Skates and Wimmen's Comix) -- R. Crumb
is their most famous contemporary.
After graduating from the San Francisco
School Of The Arts, she travelled to Paris to do some modelling, but soon
returned to the U.S. to pursue a musical career. A series of chance encounters
with influential people began when she became friends with Kirk Hammet from
Metallica who taught her to play guitar. Early demos of her songs reached the
ears of Anton Newcombe, and she soon joined his band The Brian Jonestown
Massacre. She sang on their early albums Give It Back, Bringing It all Back
Home Again, and Stung Out In Heaven, and appeared with them in the seminal
documentary DIG!.
In 2001, Virgin Records released her
full-length debut album the Herethereafter. The album was a mix of folk,
psychedelia, country and indie pop, and found fans worldwide, especially in
Japan where the single “The Long Goodbye” reached the top five.
Her critically-acclaimed sophomore album
Light of X, the title of which came from a dream about harnessing beams of
light to travel in time, followed in 2009 via Nettwerk Records. The music was a
progression from the template laid out on her debut album, anticipating the
symphonic pop music that came later with the likes of Anna Calvi and Agnes
Obel.
Richards’ latest album, Echoes Of The
Dreamtime, was recorded at her home studio with husband and producer Rick
Parker (best known for his work with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Lord
Huron). It brings together eight pastoral, atmospheric epics into a work that
is her most impressive yet. Echoes of the Dreamtime incorporates a more
lyrically narrative style, with many of the songs coming in at over five
minutes in length, with four and five verses a-piece. One song, the
eight-minute track "It Was Given" (based on the movie The White
Ribbon by Michael Haneke), is an example of an adaptation put to song.
As Richards states, “So much of our
experience lies within the realm of the subconscious, influencing our outer
realities. When we begin to realize we have control over our offering to the
world, we begin to examine the subconscious and have a conversation with it,
instead of being ruled unknowingly by it. Contained therein are themes of
self-discovery, transformation, and grappling with the duality between dark and
light within our selves and society. The literal use of Space Echo throughout
the album is reflective of the theme: it’s subtle and beautiful and repeats
until we listen.”
Echoes Of The Dreamtime was released worldwide via
London-based indie Invisible Hands Music on January 29, 2016.
