Semisonic – Feeling Strangely Fine

1998. To me another period where the manufactured music seemed to take over the airwaves, so the arrival of Semisonic with Closing Time was a godsend; nothing to do with my alternative residence of the pub, but the quality of…

This release from Patrick Grant is a re-titled, remixed and expanded version of his 1997 album Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release. That album was mostly recorded at Philip Glass’ Looking Glass Studio, with Patrick adding extra piano and other instruments later.…

The Invitation to MoonJune Records Vol 1

Various Artists – The Invitation to MoonJune Records, Vol. 01

After 18 years, MoonJune Records are still going strong. For me, it’s a favourite label, releasing music that goes far beyond the progressive genre, taking in Jazz, Fusion, World Music, Experimental, and the Avant-Garde – MoonJune is like a train…

Curved Air – Phantasmagoria [CD/DVD Expanded Edition]

Esoteric Recordings are hitting another home run for me, this time with a reissue of Curved Air’s third studio album, Phantasmagoria. Originally released on the Warner Bros. label, Curved Air were riding high at the time with the original line-up…

Grobschnitt – 79:10

Hello, My Dear Friends! If summarising Novalis’s career in Schmetterlinge was a daunting task, Grobschnitt’s 79:10 has proven to be a herculean one. Not only was Grobschnitt’s career longer and more varied with some arguably better results, but the depths…
