Anyway, here I am and I am back again in 2008. I have some reviews coming up in the near future. Thanks for checking out PILGRIM WORLD, my fellows.

I think it might a little bit take time to download [S] page, so I'm thinking of making two [S] pages as pt1. and pt2 for your convinient browsing. Besides that I am thinking of other alternatives to make a completely diffent looking websection as experiment. I can not tell when, but I'm also considering another design or using different template on this English webpage. 2007/08/23 4 New reviews have been added on [reviews] section Dreamscape - Very Chris Poland - Return To Metalopolis LIVE Serenity - Words Untold & Dreams Unlived Shadow Gallery - Legacy 2007/08/15 Summer Break's review special:    Auditory Imagery - Reign Dial - Synchronized Magellan - Impending Ascension Sun Caged - Artemisia Sylvan - Presets Terra Rosa - Final Live 2007/06/27 *[Reviews] section has been updated* Small glitches and mistakes on the some reviews corrected as well.. Miosis - 4 track e.p. Hello folks,sorry for another long absence due to my daily work assignments and projects. You have been probably anxiously awaiting for new reviews coming. I hope I do not want to disappoint you, but hey I also have my own life and every day chores and stuff like that. I wish I'd like to keep updating constantly, but sometimes my situation does not let me do this. Anyway, I never forget music, exp., prog and prog metal music in general. :) Please come back again with high expectation (sort of). I wish you all the best for everything. 2007/05/18 *[Reviews] section has been updated* Massive Reviews of Rock/Prog/Metal/Japanese/Instrumentals Special:   Ascension Theory - Regeneration Dimitar Nalbantov - Universe Francesco Fareri - Secret Within Hal & Ring - Alchemy In The Name - s/t Lelio Padovani - The Big Picture Pat Metheny Group - The Way Up Shinsekai - s/t Ultra Violet Uforia - Shadow of the Time World of Silence - Mindscape 2007/05/07 *[English Link] page has been updated* Okay, actually there has not been any new updates besides [Link] page for severalweeks. Probably, some people might have noticed why I am thinking of erasing some urls and band names from the link page. It may sound lazy, but the band names and urls on the link page seem to be occupying much spaces there, and it could be influencing a bit on browsing I feel. That's why I have trimmed some spaces for adding different features and other websites' urls, instead. As much as possible, I put the url on each review articles, so please understand that. Another reason why I have been quiet during March and April is because of a trip to Europe (the Netherlands, Germany, and Belguim). Obviously, the main reason is for HEADWAY FESTIVAL (of course!!!!), hehe. Again, the trip to the Netherlands is very splended; I had lots of funs and meeting very cool and friendly people mostly from Europe and U.S. While writing here in this moment, I really want to say thanks for my dear friends in the Netherlands. Esp., my very best friends, Mr. Friendly and his girlfriend, you are very kind and great! I can not gurantee when, but I am probably going to write something about a trip to Europe on Blog page on Myspace. Oh again, sorry for being late to reply you back some gruops and artists. Oh boi, it sounds lame, and I'm excusing myself too much;-( Do not worry!, I keep listening and checking out the music you've sent me. The reviews are coming soon, so please keep an eye on Pilgrim World English page that you are browsing right now :-) If your web browser supporting Japanese language, some reviews I've updated recently on Japanese page are ready for your enjoyment! Within a few weeks, I am sure I'll make new updates on [review] page as well. 2007/03/15 *[Reviews] section has been updated with some new review* Baltimoore - X The Vaseline Rats - e.p. 2007/03/05 Sorry for having been absent in a month, at least on the English pages, while I've been busy updating on the Japanese pages. Here is a new update on review section, so please take a look at some recent reviews of guitar instrumentalist that showcase great chops and interesting song-approach. *[Reviews]* --Technical guitarist's special--  Alex Maxi - Late Night At Rimrock Dave Martone - When The Aliens Come Patrik Carlsson - Melodic Travel Massimo Izzizari - Unstable Balance 2007/02/03  Hello my friends. Yes, I'm back. Well, the English section of Pilgrim World website has kicked off a new year quite slow. But hopefully, I continue add something fresh and my thoughts just like previous years. First of all, I appreciate recent new music from U.K., Germany, Finland, Italy, United States and my country Japan (thanks for Poseidon Records). Yeah, right on to increase review articles. Step by step, I'm going to add new reviews and some info as well. Please stay tuned. Secondly, As you see that I joined MySpace last year and increasing my network to various musicians and friends. If you are curious about MySpace, please check out mine. Here is a new update on review page. Yeah, Alias Eye is a really surprisngly good melodic progressive rock group from Germany, so please check out this fine group. On the other hand, Tea For Two is also unique neo-prog group from QuiXote music. Alias Eye - In Focus Tea For Two - Twisted 2006/11/24 Having re-read previous reviews more than twice, I've got terrible misspellings and strange mistakes that I could not find them last time. Therefore, I revised last three reviews on some grammartical errors and such. In spite of my terrible errors, I've got nice feedbacks from musicians. Thanks for your tolerance and kindness. Sorry to my poor English ability (shame on me). Somtimes I jump on and burst writing something quickly without careful proof-read. Please understand I am not a perfect English writer and reader ;-) 2006/11/20 Three new reviews of prog rock and power metal have been added. Thanks for your concerns and thoughts through your e-mail messages. Please understand that I do not usually give a casual listen before writing reviews, so sometimes it takes quite a while until I fully enjoy your musical contents. I usually decide to write something after having absorbed and got the idea what's being presented. Anyway, wait is over for some viewers and musicians! Enjoy reading my thoughts and comments on my recent reviews. Of course, next reviews are upcoming soon step by step! Book of Reflections - Unfold The Future Slychosis - s/t Subject to Thoughts - To Embrace The Light 2006/11/13 Three recent new reviews added:  Phideaux - The Great Leap (prog rock) Seventh Wonder - Waiting In The Wing (prog metal) Tomorrow's Eve - Mirror of Creation II: Genesis II (prog metal) 2006/11/09  [Reviews] section has been updated! Iraeli prog rock group Trespass' new album added. I think symphonic rock fans would get into this group, please check this out! Tresspass - Morning Lights 2006/10/18  [Reviews] section has been updated! Vertu's review articles have been slightly revised with a few corrections. Hey, Let me introduce you to Vertu for this moment. Vertu is an amazing hard fusion/jazz rock super group featuring ex. Return To Forever rhythm section, Richie Kotzen, Rachel Z, and Karen Briggs. People, I believe this group is the answer from jazz/fusion scene to the prog world :-). There are some straight-ahead jazz fusion tunes, but you'll find incredible technical instrumental performance from these splendid and accmplished musicians. Too bad to know that there has been no information from them, what's so ever in recent years. Btw, is there any chances of Return To Forever reunion? Well, probably it won't happen in the near future. Anyway, we need to keep eye on the musicians from Vertu. These musicians are superbly amazing. 2006/10/08 *[Reviews] section has been updated!

(revised and edited) 2006/09/15 [Reviews] section has been updated! The first live DVD of Marcel Coenen is really enjoyable to watch. You understand Marcel Coenen and his friends are very versatile musicians. If you like the music of his solo stuffs and his groups, it's very fun to get into this DVD. :-) Additionally, Scott Mosher's latest album is really fantastic cyber-esque prog metal and triumphant indpendent music as well. Do not miss both works. Marcel Coenen - A Live Time Journey (DVD) Scott Mosher - Deep Horizons *Btw, thanks a lot for your contacts and sending me e-mails, recently.

Jose Del Rio - Journey Into The Fourth Dimension 2006/08/09 Hello there, it's been really hot and humid in my country lately. More or less, the greenhouse effects are dealing with this and that. Oh well, I'm doing fine and nothing to worry about health condition. As early as possible, I'd continue adding new updates and new reviews of prog metal, thought-provoking metal, and somewhat obscure categorized new metal from all around the world. Okay, once again, I'd like to say a kind of promotional announcement (as shameless plug). Thanks for a lot for taking your time to look at a Japanese promising prog metal group Symphonia's website and music. They really appreciate your visit and kind words. They are officially going to release their first full-length cd in the end of August. If you have a good idea to distribute their cds or give anything clue to release abroad, please contact shu or Symphonia website (http://symphonia.edisc.jp/). Very much appreciated in advance. ............Okay, having said that, [Reviews] section has been updated. Please check out our new reviews. You'll find the reviews of enthusiastic unique independent artists from Australia and United States. Mechanical Organic - Flat Earth Society Scott Mosher - Inferno 2006/08/03 [Reviews] section has been updated. Please check out our new reviews. Mechanical Organic - Flat Earth Society 2006/07/28 New review of Super String Theory - Principles of Transformation has been added on [Reviews] page. [Links] page has also been updated. 2006/07/26  Hello readers! In this opportunity, I'd like to introduce and say a kind of promotional plug on behalf of Symphonia as their close friend. About five to six years ago, fortunately I got a contact from shu playing guitars for Symphonia. Eventually, the music of theirs intrigued me. Since I got to know them, I have always liked their demo sounds. Finally, the cd of theirs is out in my country Japan. Even though this cd is recorded and produced as independent works, it sounds quite fascinating to my ears. One of their targets is to release the cd in the regions of Asia, Europe, and possibly North and South America. Recently, I've been spreading the word of the band from Tokyo, because I enjoy their music a lot. In addition, their music and approach sound promising I think. If you are being curious about Japanese groups in the field of melodic metal and prog metal, I highly recommend that you need to take a look at their website and give a try to each soundfile. Okay having said that, enjoy my thoughts and reviews about Symphonia - The First Movement on [Review] section. 2006/07/24 Hello there, my friends. Sorry again to my inconsistent update schedule.

More new reviews are coming up soon. Enjoy! Baltimoore - Kaleidoscope Sylvan - Posthumas Silence Venturia - The New Kingdom 2006/06/12 Hi there, a lot of people out there have been watching the games of World Cup. Japanese national team seems to be going to struggle with strong contenders like Australia, I hope they are going to do their great job. Can't wait to see how it's gonna turn out today's game! :) As for Formula-One, you know Fernando Alonso seems to be superbly quicker than any other racers. In the current state of motor racing, esp., you see that F-1 is not as exciting as more than ten years ago (e.g., the era of Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell you name it) Anyway, I wish Kimi Raikkonen's gonna strick back in the European rounds during summer. Well, no one cares about Formula One, right? But I am curious who's gonna beat Alonso, haha. Obviously I am in the mood of talking irrelevant things. :) Well, yeah I know I should make a weblog page somewhere, instead. Otherwise, people do not have to get bothered by my big nonsence, LOL. :-) Okay putting aside the story about the current sports I am interested, here comes the music story below. Recently, I am Sylvan's Posthuman Silence kick! Sylvan is a very talented neo-prog/ symphonic hard group in the European scene. I am really impressed with the new one. Therefore, I'll update with their new release review in the near future. Two [Reviews] have been added: Dream Aria - In The Wake from Canada Gigur - Fin Del Tiempo from Mexico 2006/06/08 Hi, greetings from the Piglrim World's webmaster. I think you've been wondering that where I have been out there. Recently, the hours of listening to the promo and music has been restricted, due to my hectic works and assignments. I know what you feel. what a prick I am :) Yeah, but honestly, my recent works make me really busy and exhausted nowadays, so it's sometimes difficult to pay attention to music. Please do not get me wrong, I carefully listen to all promo materials and what I've got. The amount of promo and cds have been dramatically increasing to review by myself, so please understand that I can not review yours right away or instantly. You understand that prog music is sometimes difficult to comprehend with only one listening experience. Okay, having said that enjoy new updats of review article. [Reviews] Viima - Ajatuksia Maailman Laidalta added. [Link] page has been also updated slightly. 2006/05/07 Hello out there, everyone. Sorry, my new updates have been delayed big time. Here is my few boring announcements. I could not make new updates during last April at all for the trip. Again, I went to the Netherlands for seeing Headway Festival and sightseeing on a few countries in Europe from the end of March 'til April 5th. Yeah, the trip to the Netherlands and Europe has been really great one if you ask me. I met lots of nice and cool people out there once again. I was quite happy to see the bands like Vanden Plas, Art Metal Trio, 7for4, Joop Wolters Band, Sphere of Souls, and everyone having performed at P60. I hope I'd like to see those nice friends who are very enthusiastic and passionate about all progressive and technical rock/metal music in the future. Okay, let's bring the story about Orpheo on this new update. You are going to read and find the review of this Groningen, the Netherlands-based symphonic hard/progressive rock band below. Orpheo was supposed to perform for this year's April gig supporting After Forever, but they had been replaced by another Dutch metal band. I was obviously disappointed with the fact that Orpheo could not perform this time. However, luckily I could contact and meet most members their manager, and their friends in Amstelveen and Groningen, Holland. I had a really great time to share with Orpheo's members, so thanks go out to Akka, David, Rutger, Wendelin, Floor, and everyone who is very kind to to me. Hope to see you next time. And also, it's good to have a cool conversation with Headway Festival's Onno and Frurken, plus Lion Music's Lasse & Anci! :-) Yes, I had a big blast with you. Definitely, PILGRIM WORLD is very happy to support general prog, instrumental and thought-provoking metal music. Yup, having said that all from my thoughts and the trip experience...see below A special featured review of this month: Orpheo - Echoes is really good symphonic prog hard music, therefore, do not miss this one. Oh, yes, I really appreciate your promo materials from the artists and groups. Step by step, I keep adding new reviews very soon. Thanks for waiting every time. Sign My Guestbook  View My Guestbook |
