Nektar – Recycled [5CD Remastered Boxset]

In the past, I’ve been critical of Nektar’s merits and made anything I actually liked by the group seem like some sort of a guilty pleasure. The snide remarks stop here. Loosely hanging my expectations on the albums’ ProgArchives ranking,…

Emerson Lake & Powell - Complete Collection

Emerson, Lake & Powell – The Complete Collection [3CD Boxset]

Quoting myself from my review of Greg Lake’s Magical career retrospective box set: “I’ve never listened to the Emerson, Lake & Powell album for much the same reason I’ve never listened to any of Lake or Emerson’s solo stuff before,…

Colosseum – Elegy: The Recordings 1968-1971 [6CD Box Set]

When it comes to finding the artists that were the foundation of progressive rock – shifting experimental psychedelia to something more focused and sophisticated – one cannot overlook Colosseum, founded by seminal drummer Jon Hiseman after a trip to Rome.…

Baker Gurvitz Army: Neon Lights – The Broadcasts 1975, 3CD/2DVD Box Set

The Baker Gurvitz Army – Neon Lights [5 Disc Boxset]

As a drummer, it’s rather embarrassing to admit that I had never listened to Ginger Baker in my life before I began reviewing this release. I had never listened to any music by Cream or Blind Faith and didn’t even…

Anthony Phillips – Slow Dance [2 CD Edition]

Anthony Phillips has had a long and varied career. From his stint as the original guitarist for Genesis, to his instrumental-heavy Private Parts and Pieces series, to his song-centred masterworks, and even his library pieces of music composed for film…

Family – It’s Only A Movie

The liner notes for this new reissue of Family’s 1973 album It’s Only A Movie begins with this sentence: “Whenever a reissue series covers a highly respected band […] there is always an awareness of when the releases stop, and…

Lene Lovich – Toy Box: The Stiff Years, 1978-1983
