Atomic Rooster – Friday The 13th: The BBC Sessions 1970-1981

Atomic Rooster emerged from the ashes of The Crazy World of Arthur Brown when Vincent Crane and Carl Palmer regrouped to record the band’s 1970 debut. Nick Graham joined on bass, vocals and flute, though his tenure was brief, and…

Nightwing – Long Hard Road 1980-1985 (5CD Boxset)

With an NWOBHM-shaped hole in my life after reviewing Holocaust’s second boxset and interviewing guitarist John Mortimer, I was only too pleased to find out that another British hard rock band from the early 80s was getting a box set,…

Nazareth – Born Under The Wrong Sign [1976-79] (5CD Boxset)

Nazareth, one of Scotland’s finest exports, were surely one of the hardest working in the Seventies. They spent most of the first half of that decade achieving some tangible success culminating with Hair of the Dog, their best selling album…

Hawkwind – Sonic Assassins Live 1977

If you follow Hawkwind closely, you’ll know their archive is rich with live recordings, many of which have surfaced as official releases over the decades. Even so, this new issue from Cherry Red Records stands apart. Captured at Queen’s Hall,…

Jethro Tull – J-Tull Dot Com: Another Cast Of The Net

Sir Steven Wilson (surely he should have been knighted by now for services to music?) did a brilliant job resurrecting and repackaging Jethro Tull’s classic albums, the ones that made us fans fall in love with them, but bowed out…

Jah Wobble & Tian Qiyi – Mystic Liverpool: The Beatles’ Psychedelic Psongbook

As I said before in my review of We Can Work It Out: Covers of the Beatles, 1962 – 1966, Beatles music is like comfort food to me, and I’ll always be fascinated to hear other musicians’ takes on the…

Popul Vuh – Affenstunde | Einsjäger Und Siebenjäger (Vinyl Editions)

As a film lover, I’ve long admired Werner Herzog’s astounding and often bizarre catalogue, ranging from fever-dream-like tales such as Aguirre, the Wrath of God to tributes like Nosferatu the Vampyre and unbelievable jaw-dropping visuals such as the famous hauling…

Lunatic Soul – Transition II

Transition II is the first release from Lunatic Soul since Mariusz Duda announced his shock departure from Riverside on 23rd April 2026 after 25 years with the Polish band. It is clear that Duda is determined to clearly mark this…

Pink Floyd – Live From The Los Angeles Sports Arena, April 26th, 1975

Recently, two ‘new’ Pink Floyd albums have appeared: the 8‑Tracks studio compilation, a Steven Wilson remix, and Live from the Los Angeles Sports Arena, April 26th, 1975, likewise edited by the multi‑talented Wilson. Strictly speaking, the live recording also surfaced…

Gentle Giant – In A Glass House (Remixed & Remastered)

Back in June, I was mindlessly doomscrolling when an advert with music started playing. Because the algorithm knows me uncannily well, it was an advert for a new Gentle Giant reissue. “Big whoop,” I thought, as the sound of breaking…
