Japanese Prog Ensemble Yuka & Chronoship Announce the Release of Their New Album SHIP
Yuka & Chronoship was formed in 2009 by Yuka Funakoshi (a rare female prog rock artist in the world) and three experienced session musicians (Shun Taguchi, Takashi Miyazawa, and Ikko Tanaka).
The band's previous album, received critical acclaim worldwide and was helped establish the band as an intriguing discovery for fans of the progressive rock genre.
The first seven songs of the band's new album SHIP are a suite based on the Greek mythology “ARGO”. The opening song “Tears of the Figurehead” is sung by special guest singer Sonja Kristina of Curved Air.
Band member Shun Taguchi said: The last song “Did You Find A Star?” was originally planned to sung by John Wetton, but he passed away from cancer and at first we planned not to include it on the album. However, although unfortunately our dream didn't come true, we decided to still record the song for the album as a tribute to him.

2. ARGO - THE SHIP ARGOS

Instrumental Rock-Blues-Country Review: Eric Tingstad-Electric Spirit
Release Date: May
18, 2018
Label: Independent
If
you are an instrumental music fan, I have just the right thing for you to check
out. Eric Tingstad will be releasing Electric
Spirit on May 18th, 2018.
I have become accustomed to the acoustic recordings of Eric
and have always enjoyed them. The arrival of an all-electric album came as a
surprise. I know the man is a very talented purveyor of the six-string so I
looked forward to hearing this offering called Electric Spirit.
With his deep commitment to the music and his surroundings
that mother earth provides, Eric derives great inspiration. His playing is
heartfelt and meaningful to those who believe in cherishing and protecting our
environment. After all, what do we have without our precious earth were humans
and all living things can thrive? I am with him in his beliefs and the
importance of sending the message continually. This what he does as an artisan
and advocate of the environment.
Electric
Spirit is only different in musical approach, not subject matter.
I think I was more than ready to hear Eric play some electric guitar. His tone
is as sweet as honey and his picking as sharp as a razor blade ready for its
first shave. Picture that analogy and then listen to the music, you will
understand.
What you will hear on Electric
Spirit is an eclectic mixture of genres all fusing together to make for a
multicultural musical experience. There are blues, country, and rock or more
appropriately for some ears, Americana. Whatever you want to call it, it’s all
of those performed with a touch of glass and high-end production that any
guitar aficionado could produce.
This music runs deep like “Big River,” “Oh’ Shenandoah” and
“The Train of Thought” (interesting play on words). The tracks he composed and
performed are just sparkling with spirit and good energy. I really appreciated
the way Eric took all of his influences and some classic tunes and made them
his own, like “Amazing Grace” and “Over The Rainbow.”
Those graceful and well-placed guitars lined just set me at
ease and all my worry and stress just melted away. It was like the sweet
surrender of my soul to the music and the reward was a deep satisfaction and
abiding respect for the artist and his music. It was like every note rang true
and resonated with me. That is my personal journey and everyone will have their
own story to tell, once they hear this great music.
Eric Tingstad is a great musician and I love the fact that
he decided to stretch out and give his listeners another side of his artistry
to enjoy on Electric Spirit.

New PledgeMusic Campaign Started For Spirits Burning & Michael Moorcock's "An Alien Heat" Album
The new Spirits Burning & Michael Moorcock album is an adaptation of the Michael Moorcock novel “An Alien Heat.” It is the first Spirits Burning album to feature Michael Moorcock, and the first with Albert Bouchard as one of the main collaborators.
Michael Moorcock is an English writer, primarily of science fiction, fantasy, and literary novels. He is best known for his novels about Elric, and two stints as the editor of New Worlds Magazine. As a musician, he fronts Michael Moorcock & The Deep Fix, and has collaborated with Hawkwind, Blue Öyster Cult, Robert Calvert and Spirits Burning.
Don Falcone is an American producer, musician (keyboards, bass, and vocals), and captain of Spirits Burning. A live version of the band played in the UK in 2017, with Falcone on keys and vocals, and featuring Hawkwind family members Bridget Wishart, Richard Chadwick, and Steve Bemand.
Albert Bouchard is an American drummer, guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He was a founding member and drummer of Blue Öyster Cult. He also plays with his brother Joe in the Bouchard Brothers, and they are both in Blue Coupe with Dennis Dunaway from Alice Cooper.
Says Don Falcone, “The debut Spirits Burning & Michael Moorcock album came together, in so many special ways… I asked Mike if I could do an adaptation of the 'Dancers' trilogy, starting with 'An Alien Heat,' and he gave a long-distance blessing… Al Bouchard became a co-collaborator and helped improve every song. He also brought in some Blue Öyster Cult family members. The planned sessions with Mike came to fruition, and Mike ended up singing on most tracks, and playing harmonica on three.”
Fans of Blue Öyster Cult will be interested in performances by BÖC family members Albert Bouchard, Joe Bouchard, Richie Castellano, and Donald Roeser.
Albert Bouchard co-wrote and performs on 15 of 16 songs.
Fans of Michael Moorcock’s novels will be interested in this adaptation of “An Alien Heat,” which is part of the “The Dancers At The End Of Time” trilogy.
Fans of Hawkwind will be interested in performances by Hawkwind family members Harvey Bainbridge, Michael Moorcock, Adrian Shaw, Mick Slattery and Bridget Wishart
“An Alien Heat” is the 14th studio album by Spirits Burning and also features performances by Andy Dalby (Arthur Brown’s Kingdom Come), Monty Oxymoron (The Damned), Ken Pustelnik (The Groundhogs), Jonathan Segel (Camper Van Beethoven), Andy Shernoff (The Dictators), and Cyrille Verdeaux (Clearlight).
