Tekst en opmaak: Maarten Goossensen
Het jaar opmaken. Nog één keer terug kijken. Lijstjes maken. Voor de een iets om naar uit te kijken, voor de ander een gruwel. Toch willen we traditiegetrouw nog één keer terug kijken op 2013 en de balans opmaken. Zelden was dat zo moeilijk als dit jaar.
Over het geheel genomen vonden wij het geen geweldig muziekjaar. Uiteraard zijn er ook in 2013 weer parels uitgekomen, maar wel een stuk minder dan in andere jaren. En wat was er veel middelmatigheid dit jaar! De jaarlijstjes van de Progwereldmedewerkers ondersteunen dit. Zelden waren er zoveel verschillende nummer 1 platen (13 stuks van de 17) en waren er ook zoveel verschillende albums in de lijsten.
Wat ook opvalt is dat de meeste platen uit de lijsten in de eerste helft van 2013 uitkwamen. Steven Wilson, La Maschera Di Cera, Riverside, Lifesigns, The Aurora Project, Cosmograf en de nieuwe Spock’s Beard verschenen alle tussen januari en maart van 2013.
In ons eigen land deden de progbands het uitstekend. We hadden de competitie van Dutch Exposure, het omvangrijke theaterproject van PB II en de albums van Sylvium, The Aurora Project, Flamborough Head, Sky Archtitect en Ayreon wisten op velen van ons indruk te maken.
Uiteraard kan er maar één winnaar zijn en afgaande op deze lijsten is dat zonder twijfel het album “The Raven That Refused To Sing” van Steven Wilson. Maar liefst twaalf collega’s namen het album op in hun top 10. De nummer twee is Haken met hun album “The Mountain“.
Voor Progwereld zelf was het absoluut geen tegenvallend jaar. Ook dit jaar hadden wij tienduizenden bezoekers meer dan voorgaande jaren. We zijn erg blij met de vele mensen die Progwereld wekelijks bezoeken en waarderen. Ook in 2014 hebben wij het voornemen om jullie weer 52 updates te brengen met actuele en gedegen recensies, het laatste nieuws en interessante specials en interviews.
Wij hebben zin in 2014!
Hieronder tref je de jaarlijsten aan van alle teamleden. Wil je weten wat er allemaal in 2013 is uitgekomen en wat 2014 te wachten staat? Kijk dan hier.
