Dream Theater - Quarantième: Live à Paris (2025)


Quarantième: Live à Paris captures Dream Theater at their most masterful — a live set where technical precision meets raw concert energy, showcasing both their prog-metal heaviness and their softer, more melodic complexity. Each track bristles with instrumental virtuosity: blazing guitar passages, thunderous drums, intricate keyboard interplay, and soaring vocals delivered with focus and power. The live performance brings a certain immediacy and emotional weight to songs you may know from studio albums — you can hear the audience energy, the rhythm section’s tight cohesion, and subtle improvisational flourishes. For longtime fans the album feels like a triumphant reaffirmation — a reminder that Dream Theater still commands the stage with authority and stamina. For newcomers, it works as a powerful live gateway into the band’s complex, epic world.

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.
