Vanden Plas: The Empyrean Equation of the Long Lost Things (2024)
I have been reviewing Vanden Plas for more than quarter of a century, and while there are times when their albums are somewhat workmanlike, there are plenty of others where they are truly phenomenal. My first look at this release did cause me some surprise though, as...
John Paul McGee: A Gospejazzical Christmas (2023)
I’d rather not think of myself as being so far behind on reviewing that this is for a Christmas record which should have been written about in 2023, but rather that I am eight months early for 2024. Here we find John Paul McGee (or should I say Dr. McGee given he is...
Gridfailure: Shards In The Wire (2023)
I’ve lost track of how many of Dave Brenner’s releases I have reviewed, but it must be most of them (at least in recent years) yet I still find myself stupidly excited when there is a new one to delve into. This 7-track release (currently available on Bandcamp for...
Grant Haua: Mana Blues (2023)
A few years ago I came across Grant Haua and I was blown away by the Maori bluesman who for me is the living epitome of the classic style. His last album, the mighty ‘Tahanga’ found Grant with his trusty acoustic as he recorded a livestream for Rolling Stone France....
ECHOES (EIRE-FRANCE) Part.1
ECHOES (EIRE-FRANCE) Part 1Vocalist, lyricist, and composer James McGregor is an Irish nomad who seems to be travelling a bit around Europe lately, from Dublin, London, and Berlin, with an interesting stop in Southern France (aka paradise) where he attended a concert...
ROB HARRISON (UK) Explode My Head
Debut offering from this talented musician, composer, and producer, pretty much a one-man show with a lot of help from various friends, namely Gong’s flutist Ian East. A wide diversity of stimulating influences permeate this work, anywhere from Penguin Café Orchestra,...
MARCO GLÜHMANN (GERMANY) A Fragile Present
Can there by a finer voice currently in the prog scene than Sylvan ‘s lead lung? Besides the impeccable technique, he also is arguably one of the most recognizable vocalists in any genre, with a unique style whereby he ‘squeezes’ out harmonic vowels with a mini delay...
JOHN HOLDEN (UK) Proximity & Chance
Since 2018, this composer and multi-instrumentalist has not only been consistently delivering standout albums that I am proud to possess and review, all very highly rated but also because the recipe ingredients and manpower invited happen to vary from album to album....

- Various Artists – We Are The Beautiful: Two Decades Of Shoegaze 1991-2011by John Giordano on September 29, 2026 at 4:00 pm
As mentioned in another recent review, I’m particularly fond of box sets that cover a scene as opposed to an artist. Because my familiarity with shoegaze is spotty at best, I thought that the We Are The Beautiful compilation would…
