Airbag

For those that like a bit of modern prog with delightful soundscapes the latest effort from Airbag is very good.

I’ve discovered them this year when “On the Beach” popped up in a Roon playlist. I’ve been really enjoying the whole catalogue since :sunglasses:

Agree, delightful sounding band - echoes of Gilmour / Wright and mellow Porcupine tree.

Airbag are a great discovery for me too. Heavy PF influence which is no bad thing but they aren’t a PF clone

Yes agree, quite unique and their songs have that dreamy feeling Floyd created with some of their earlier work.

Not a band I know much about, will go and see if I can find a track or two to listen to online.

The cover seems to be promoting cruelty to teddy bears, which is apparently on the rise in my locality.

If you enjoyed Airbag I’d also recommend Altitude by Lifesigns. Soaring melodies, superb production, currently my most played album.

Another vote for this one, all the Lifesigns albums are great :sunglasses:

Just waiting for it to come out on bandcamp :slight_smile:

You can only buy Lifesign’s music from their web site, though there is a trial thing on Tidal and You Tube. They are one of the UK prog bands taking a stand against low revenue streaming and trying to get paid for their work. Anyway, well worth a plunge and they have hi-res downloads on their web site.

I didn’t know that, I suspect must be tough for bands that want their music out there to take a stand against the big streaming services……
