Het jaar 2007 is een beetje een ondefinieerbaar jaar gebleken, dat echter is opgevallen door de ‘doorbraak’ van bands die al een paar jaar aan de weg timmerden maar nu met een album het grote progpubliek wist te bereiken: Phideaux en Riverside. Na vorig jaar in geen enkel top 10 item de hand te hebben gehad slaat Steve Wilson echter dit jaar dubbel zo hard terug:
Het Wereldse Jaar 2007
(klik hierboven voor de volledige lijst in een nieuw venster)
Wat echter niet zo positief opvalt is het geringe aantal Nederlandse bands / artiesten in de totaal lijst. Waren er in 2006 nog 7 albums in de lijst te vinden, de oogst voor 2006 is met 3 stuks gerust schamel te noemen. Echter Knight Area’s album “Under A New Sign” is de stralende uitzondering met een glorieuze 6de plaats in onze jaarlijst.
Een nadere analyse van het land van herkomst maakt duidelijk dat de bakermat van de prog, Verenigd Koninkrijk, nog steeds de dienst uit maakt maar dat het feitelijk in de Verenigde Staten en Zweden zijn feitelijke thuisbasis heeft gevonden.
Namens Progwereld wensen we je veel plezier met de bestudering van Het Wereldse Jaar 2006. Klik op de namen van de artiesten om hun site te bezoeken en samples te beluisteren, of klik op de titel om onze recensie (voor zover aanwezig) van de desbetreffende cd nog een keer te lezen.
