Vegyn - Blue Moon Safari (2025)


Vegyn’s Blue Moon Safari is a full-length reimagining of Air’s 1998 classic Moon Safari, released as a limited Record Store Day 2025 exclusive. Rather than offering straightforward remixes, Vegyn deconstructs and reassembles the original tracks, infusing them with his signature experimental textures and glitchy rhythms. Tracks like “La Femme d’Argent” are transformed into minimalist, synthetic interludes, while “Sexy Boy” and “Kelly Watch the Stars” are reinterpreted with stretched introductions and delayed melodies, creating a sense of anticipation and nostalgia. Critics have praised the album for its innovative approach, noting how Vegyn plays with collective memory to craft a dreamlike reinterpretation that is both familiar and refreshingly new. Overall, Blue Moon Safari stands as a testament to Vegyn's ability to honor the original work while imbuing it with his unique artistic vision.​

Oddleaf - Where Ideal and Denial Collide (2024)

Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance. The album, produced and recorded with exceptional attention to sonic detail, explores themes of environmentalism and human disconnection from nature, creating a rich narrative across its six tracks. Musically, the album mixes haunting flute lines, Mellotron textures, and dynamic shifts between electric and acoustic instrumentation, with standout vocals from Adeline Gurtner that are both emotive and ethereal. Tracks like “Life” and “Back in Time” balance infectious, vintage-inspired melodies with introspective lyrics, giving the album a timeless yet urgent feel. This blend of pastoral and dark themes marks Where Ideal and Denial Collide as a promising and inventive contribution to the prog scene​ The PROG Mind   Prog Rock Central   Prog Rock Central .
