| 1 | Cast | Dawn | Imaginary Window | 1999 | Self-produced |
| "Cast is a symphonic band from Mexicali, Mexico who also host the annual Baja Prog festival. Apparently they have existed for a while, but only started putting out cds in the last 5 years or so. Now they are quite prolific. Here is a nice instrumental from their latest." - Alan Mallery | |||||
| 2 | Flower Kings | Simple Song/Business Vamp | Flower Power | 1999 | Foxtrot |
| "Another year goes by and we get another double cd from The Flower Kings ;-). The first disc is largely taken up by the 18 part "Garden of Dreams" which this clip is two parts of. It's an excellent track and one of their best works. On the other hand, the 2nd disc is mostly unspectacular except for one track. It's still worth it for disc one, but they could edit themselves a little better." - Alan Mallery | |||||
| 3 | Dunwich | Passaggio a Saint Briac | Eternal Eclipse of Frost | 1999 | Rising Sun Productions |
| "Dunwich is at Italian group comprised of three core members who utilize a number of guest musicians to create a large atmospheric sound. As their name indicated, they are influenced by the writings of Lovecraft. This is their third album, and has more of a guitar presence than previous releases. The booklet says this song is about a 'French legend on the "Vessel of the Witches"'. " - Alan Mallery | |||||
| 4 | Spock's Beard | Gibberish | Day for Night | 1999 | Radiant/Metal Blade |
| "The Beard's latest release pretty much carries on the style of their previous discs. On this song they do their Gentle Giant thing." - Alan Mallery | |||||
| 5 | I.Q. | Hollow Afternoon | The Lost Attic | 1999 | GEP |
| "This album is a collection of unreleased tunes from IQ. This track was originally recorded for a fan club single in 1984, and this is a new recording. I find it particularly haunting." - Alan Mallery | |||||
| 6 | Lemur Voice | Divided | Divided | 1999 | Telstar-Sky |
| "Lemur Voice is a prog-metal band from The Netherlands whose first disc "Insights" was released by Magna Carta in 1996. Their second album is slightly heavier and more experimental, but still has some of the melodicism of their 1st. This is the title track, they also do an interesting cover of the Michael Jackson tune "Beat It" (no joke). " - Alan Mallery | |||||
