Phaedrus Triptych 2017 limited time only, requested




This one-off album or rather CD is interesting because it's from Spanish keyboardist / composer Carlos Plaza Vegas, who I've known well for decades from his band called Kotobel -- one of my favorite 'recent' prog bands.  This work is definitely little known, and unfairly so really.  Is there anything fair at all in music, these days, in 2025?  I don't think so, personally.

The track called Dawn definitely sounds like it comes right off a Phaedrus album, it amazes me when I think of all the work and thought that went into this composition, with the originality of it, the freshness of the chords, the sheer creativity of it:



While a track called Perpetual Movement illustrates the classical chamber side of things, like the Japanese TEE just posted:



Stunningly too, all the music from beginning to end is worth listening to carefully, there's not a single weak spot on there!
