We are Proud to Announce the Signing of Andres Guazzelli
Nov 2, 2013
The first single “Wish You Could Hear” is released today and features some notable names from Melodic Revolution Records Andres Guazzelli (born December 20, 1984) is an Argentinian singer, composer, producer, engineer, sound designer and film scorer from Mar del Plata. He earned a college degree in Audio Engineering & Music Production while continuing his studies in Music Theory, Harmony and Baroque composing. A major cinephile, Andres originally wanted to make a living recording and producing music, but during his college training, there was a portion of the curriculum that was all about Audio Post-Production for Film. He became so fascinated by it, he decided to make a career of it. He took special interest in ADR Recording & Mixing, as well as Foley Engineering. To date, he has worked on over 30 films. A classically-trained musician, Andres combines heavy orchestral work with the edginess and modern textures of progressive rock and the brass-driven dramatic scores from epic films. His music contains strong influences of baroque and classical music, as well as medieval and renaissance music, within the frame of symphonic rock. Andres is keen on ethnic sounds and textures, he spends a great deal of time studying and experimenting with African percussions, instruments and vocal textures, such as mbube and isicathamiya. The first single “Wish You Could Hear” was just released and features some notable names from Melodic Revolution Records like Colin Tench (Corvus Stone, BunChakeze, CTP, Oceans 5 and The Minstrels Ghost) Petri Lindström (Progeland, Corvus Stone) & Robert Wolf (Corvus Stone) In a Statement from Andres Guazzelli I want to thank Nick Katona and Melodic Revolution Records for their trust in my music. It is the culmination of a long process, a musical evolution of many, many years. There was no better place for me than MRR. I found my niche! I hope you enjoy it. Thank you.

Andy John Bradford's Oceans 5 Release Return to Mingulay
Oct 19, 2013
We are pleased to announce the release of “Return to Mingulay” The Debut album Andy John Bradford's Oceans 5 featuring 9 beautifully crafted songs. Andy John Bradford's Oceans 5 is a progressive folk rock band fronted by UK singer songwriter and solo artist Andy John Bradford. When you think of Progressive music, you tend not to imagine a 200 year old traditional tune with sea shanty lyrics. However, "prog" is exactly what Folk Singer/Songwriter Andy John Bradford had in mind when he approached guitarist Colin Tench, with The Mingulay Boat Song. Colin Tench (BunChakeze, Corvus Stone & The Minstrel’s Ghost) to help out. They assembled an unlikely band, purely to record this one song, and they produced a version of The Mingulay Boat Song unlike any version before. They cared not if anybody actually wanted to hear such a version. This lineup clearly had great chemistry and despite the fact that they were all busy with their own bands, and they all agreed that this band has something to say. Andy has a great feel for songwriting and Oceans 5 are proving to be rather good at twisting music into a whole new art form, from bouncy sing-along songs to songs with an epic feel. The debut album "Return to Mingulay" could be considered a progressive folk rock album with an old fashioned crossover style. Nothing too clever or extreme just oceans of melodies, there are 5 core members in Oceans 5 and although they are all influenced by progressive music they all have very different approaches to composition and style. This combination has resulted in songs that really don’t sound like something you’ve heard before. The music owes more to the “anything goes” philosophy of the 70s than the finely tuned precision of 2013. There are clearly echoes of The Strawbs, Pink Floyd and even Thin Lizzy here. Side Note: Music should never be a perfect science. It should be a conversation with many opinions, unrestricted by language or bias.
