# | Artist | Song (click to play) | Album | Year | CD label | My Gnosis Rating |
1 | Mostly Autumn | Porcupine Rain | For All We Shared | 1998 | Cyclops Records | N/A |
"I first saw this band at the Classic Rock Society Awards night & was totally
won over by their Celtic rhythms & Floyd like guitar. I had not heard
such a folky style since the days of Solstice. This band is gaining a
following by constant live dates in the north of England." - Mike Eldon

2 | Forgotten Suns | Creation Point | Fiction Edge 1 (Ascent) | 2000 | Galileo Records | N/A |
"A good old fashioned concept album dealing with the creation of Earth & life &
man's destruction of Earth & life. Along the way we are treated to a real musical
soundscape, making this a real classic for 2000. This band from Portugal show
real promise & I am already looking forward to part two of the story" - Mike Eldon

3 | Parallel or 90 Degrees | The Single | Time Capsule | 1999 | Cyclops Records | N/A |
"One of the most highly rated bands playing in the UK at present, PO90 capture
the angry sound of VDGG & lyrics are adapted for the 90s. The thrashing sound
of the Hammond is a great feature in the sound." - Mike Eldon

4 | Scythe | Run | Divorced Land | 2000 | (Promo) | N/A |
"When the band heard I was featuring them on this show, they immediately sent
this promo track from their forthcoming cd. This track really is hot off the press.
Here is what Udo had to say about the track.. this one's really all paranoia. I wanted
to evoke the feeling of an unknown, mysterious, irrational thread and a panic stricken
flight, utilizing phrases of three measures, irregular rhythms and ever driving bass
patterns in a hectical tempo. great playing by everybody, especially at the beginning
of the solo section where everything seems to be falling apart, barely pulled together
by Ingos heartbeat bass riff: a perfect sonic illustration of disorientation and panic.
Certainly captures that!" - Mike Eldon

5 | Valinor's Tree | Memories | Kingdom of Sadness | 1998 | Record Heaven | N/A |
"Another new band from Sweden, who are about to release their second release
on Record Heaven. The debut is a four track affair with the shortest track being
eight minutes & thirty seconds. Slightly heavier than the usual Swedish
sound." - Mike Eldon
