Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand - Presence


Wiki Bio

"Achilles Last Stand"^[a] is a song by the English rock group Led Zeppelin released as the opening track on their seventh studio album, Presence (1976). Guitarist Jimmy Page and singer Robert Plant began writing the song during the summer of 1975, influenced by Eastern music, mythology, and exposure to diverse cultures and musical traditions during their travels. At ten-and-a-half minutes, it is one of the group's longest studio recordings^[b] and one of their most complex, with interwoven sections and multiple, overdubbed guitar parts..
This is a good song to prime you for the selected tracks of today. A nice, prog theme for today!


Russian Circles - Afrika - Guidance


Russian Circles is a post-rock/ progressive group exploring instrumentation like jazz.  The song Afrika will ease you up to the tallest mountain, and drop you like a rock, where you'll free-fall to the bottom.


Grails - Future Primitive - Deep Politics


Keeping the momentum of Russian Circles' roller coaster of highs and lows, Grails' Future Primitive mellows out the journey with "The Doors" esque guitar Odyssey's 


The Casualties of Cool - Daddy - Self Titled (Debut)


Picture this, you just finished listening to the "Future Primitive" by Grails, you feel like there's no more gas in the tank.  So you metaphorically pull the car into a petrol station, get the attendant to 'fill-it-up', and spend a few coins on a coffee.  The car is warm and dry, the sun is playing hid and seek and you put the key in the ignition and turn, starting your car, ready for another 400KM!
The Casualties of Cool - Mountain Top - Self Titled (Debut)


Yes, another Casualties of Cool song!  But it's manditory after listening to 'Daddy'.  This is the continuation of the road trip you unknowingly embarked on, spent money on gas and coffee for.


The Dear Hunter - Battesimo Del Fuoco - Act I: The Lake South, The River North


The Dear Hunter is 100%, a concept band who has created an anthology of albums to tell a single story using elements of prog rock, opera and soapbox musical.  The vocal delivery is very much like 'The Mars Volta'  or 'Sparta'. 


OM - Addis - Advaitic Songs


To keep the theme alive of yesterdays last track being that of a 'weird' artist, I present to you, 'OM'.  Their use of middle-eastern scales, their subject matter of psychadelia and new-age fusion.  While the track presented is not their 'heaviest', it's definitely their most accessible.
