   About DIAGONAL

“Mind-mangling Crimson-meets-Nucleus wig-out from Brighton’s new prog adventurers. Watch for their head-shredding, fusion-heavy debut” – MOJO

“The fleeting organs on tracks ‘Pact’ and the punning ‘Semi Permeable Men-brain’ are as unpredictable and delicate as those found on Miles Davis’ ‘In A Silent Way’, while the vocals on ‘Child of The Thunder Cloud’ tap sparingly into the same vein as folk-rock royalty Pentangle. This is prog, dude, but not as we know it.” – NME

“There’s a maxim that if a reviewer calls something pretentious, he doesn’t understand it. But there’s a lot to be said for a little pretension. It results in barking jazz-rock albums, for starters. Which brings us to DIAGONAL. The Brighton based seven-piece don’t mess around. Sane people need not apply.” - CLASH

“DIAGONAL’s debut is like stepping back to a time when Krautrock was the coolest thing in town, Jon Hiseman’s Colosseum were packing them in and Hawkwind-style cosmic jams were the order of the day. It’s a proggers’ delight.” – CLASSIC ROCK

“Looks like it’s finally safe to leap back down the rabbit-hole of Prog. Quite interesting.” – UNCUT

I first read about you guys in Classic Rock magazine,and when I finally managed to listen to your debut,it completely blew my mind!
This once again goes to show that, in a world full of disposable culture and deceptive images,there are still some things to have hope about.And for me,your music is one of them.Hope to catch you live someday!

Peace from Istanbul.

Hello there!!!

Hows it going these days?

I hope all is well and good and I just wanted to let you know I've just put up a new track called ECHO so I thought you might want to have a listen. :o)
It's just the instrumental version I did not long ago but I do have a full section of vocal to arrange into this track so I'll keep you posted on the outcome! :o)

I appreciate your time and support and any comments posted.

All the very best, take care.
