Another World (2023) by Southern Empire - This is my 2023 prog album of the year, it's a great album anyway but it includes the nineteen minute plus mega epic, White Shadows, which lifts it to a whole new level. The band do seem to have mastered the long form epic song like nobody else since the early 70's. This was an opportunity to show off their new vocalist and shine he does, great voice and really sells a song. I stuck with the Denons as their laid back sound signature is a lot more friendly to my covid addled brain and being constantly right on the cusp of a headache the last thing my ears need is a high frequency assault.

Happy New Year fellow addicts and music enthusiast

2023 has been a big year for me in music, the years before I often stuck to my favorite albums from years going back.
This year has been focused much more on new releases, either from friends recommendations or due to browsing what's new on Tidal/Bandcamp.
The list consists of many good albums, probably a few that some would find odd also.

Anyway, here are some of my favorites that were released this year. Hope it can bring some joy, cheers.
