BAROCK PROJECT (ITALY) Time Voyager
I must admit that this band needs a serious re-evaluation as it just simply did not stick in my mind enough to do any reviews of their preceding three albums which I own, even though they are highly rated and esteemed in the prog community. Things happen for a reason,...
RAVEN SAD (ITALY) Polar Human Circle
I must admit that Raven Sad’s 2011 album “Layers of Stratosphere” left an indelible mark on my psyche, as per my review on Progarchives will attest. For unknown reasons, their follow-up ten years later, “The Leaf and the Wing” needs a return visit as it just simply...
Robert REED & FRIENDS (UK) Sanctuary Live at Newbury 2023
Robert needs no introduction, as he remains a pillar of Progressive Rock for over 2 decades now, his career with Cyan, Magenta, Kompendium, and vast array of solo albums there for the choosing. As a Rogue rule, a recorded concert review should stay away from the...
ELEPHANT 9 with Terje RYPDAL (NORWAY) Catching the Fire
After a slew of albums featuring the legendary Reine Fiske on guitar, this prolific Norse trio have elevated their star power by recruiting that other mythical compatriot Terje Rypdal to play on this massive 82-minute 2017 live concert recording of some of their...
SOUND ON PURPOSE (GERMANY) Voyage
Intrigued by what seems like a wonderful line-up, an electronic trio of keyboards, violin and real drums, I did my proper audio reconnaissance and pressed the buy button. Frank Tischer, Klaus Marquardt and Tommy Fischer respectively have created a stunning debut. The...
PHONYA (BELGIUM) Heli1025
Out of the blue, an unexpected, e-mailed request with a picture of a vintage old radio, found in some abandoned attic in Liège (or so, I presume) by a former member of a band I quite enjoyed, back in the day 1999, Ken’s Novel. Phonya is a new musical project that...
Richard Guba: Songs for Stuffed Animals (2024)
Richard Guba (alto, tenor, and soprano saxophones) has brought together an eight-piece outfit to record his debut as bandleader with Ken Zimmerman (acoustic piano and Ensoniq ESQ 1 digital wave synthesizer), David Mueller (electric bass), James Burcky (drums), and...
Matt Panayides Trio: With Eyes Closed (2024)
On this album guitarist Matt Panayides is joined by bassist Steve LaSpina and drummer Anthony Pinciotti, and they take on eight songs by six jazz composers (including two apiece by Cedar Walton and Wayne Shorter) plus reinvented versions of three standards. There is...
Manic Abraxas: Skinformation (2024)
I knew absolutely nothing about this band when I agreed to review them, just that I thought that artwork was cool and interesting so why not? From the wooded realms of Northern Maine, Manic Abraxas comprise drummer Tom Bennett, bassist/vocalist/synth player Justin...
Jason Kao Hwang: Soliloquies (2024)
The subtitle of this album is ‘Unaccompanied Pizzicato Violin Improvisations’, which tells you exactly what this album is about. Recorded in two days at the beginning of 2024, here we find Hwang in a studio plucking his violin and going where the muse takes him....
Blair Dunlop: Out Of The Rain (2024)
Although I have reviewed countless albums from his father, Ashley ‘The Guv’nor’ Hutchings as well as others featuring his mother, Judy Dunlop, this is the first time I have reviewed an album by Blair himself. Given the importance of his parents in the folk rock scene,...
Thin Lizzy: 1976 (2024)
1976 was the year when Thin Lizzy started to find their feet. After the initial wanderings as a trio with Eric Bell, Phil Lynott and Brian Downey had settled on the deal guitar attack of Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson, and while they were certainly not the first to...
Marcin Pajak (POLAND) In the Space
Polish ex-pat Marcin Pajak makes London, England his current home, a proto-typical guitarist/vocalist/multi-instrumentalist with a well-rounded career as this is his sixth solo album. I particularly enjoyed his last three previous recordings, the apocalyptic “Last...
Sullvation: The Beginning of the End (2023)
Sullvation is a solo project by bassist Brent Sullivan, who here also provides keyboards and guitar. He has been in the scene for a long time, co-founded legendary underground bands Slauter Xstroyes, Winter Kill, and Mindwarp Chamber and felt it was time to do...
The Folk Implosion: Walk Thru Me (2024)
I really ought to read press releases more carefully before downloading albums as I saw the name of this band and just thought they were a folk act, which is not exactly the case. The band were originally formed in 1989 when John Davis sent a tape to Lou Barlow (Deep...
Doug MacDonald: Santa Monica Session (2024)
Doug provided a quick follow-up to ‘Live at The Rancho Mirage Library’ with this album which finds him working with different musicians in a slightly different style. This time around, his arrangements have taken five veteran standards and three of his originals into...
Doug MacDonald: Live at the Rancho Mirage Library (2024)
Over the years guitarist Doug MacDonald has operated in many different settings, including his own big band and an all-star group (the latter is featured on his previous recording ‘The Sextet Session’) and this time around we find him operating in a trio/quartet...
HAZE (UK) The Water’s Edge
Stubborn resistance, artistic integrity and boundless fortitude are the first words to come to mind with this UK band that has been around for 46 years now, perhaps easier when it’s a pretty much a family affair. To further highlight their incredible story, their...
