Patto – Patto/Hold Your Fire

Like most “underground” bands of the turn of the ’60s into the ’70s, Patto emerged butterfly-like from the chrysalis of an earlier pop group. Timebox were a band who specialised in dance-orientated Motown and R&B covers, and even had a…

Renaissance Illusion – Through the Fire

A graceful serenity peacefully descends as you listen to Through the Fire. The hectic sounds of life’s frenetic bustle gradually fade to a distant murmur, replaced by the gentle embrace of a calming, tranquil spirit which enfolds you with its…

Tervahäät – Kalmonsäie

Anthony Phillips – Private Parts & Pieces V-VIII

I’ve never understood the need to endlessly compare Anthony Phillips’ work with Genesis. Sure, he was the original guitarist, but it has been over forty-five years since he quit the band; doesn’t the man deserve to be examined as an…

Blonde On Blonde – Rebirth / Reflections On A Life

Blonde On Blonde – Rebirth Blonde On Blonde, despite sounding like they lived on the corner of Haight-Asbury actually hailed from the far less glamorous surroundings of Newport, South Wales. Like many bands of the turn of the ’60s into…

Eclection – Eclection

This album is a real throwback to the late 1960s. Eclection made their first public appearance supporting Tom Paxton at the Royal Festival Hall in 1967. Their debut album was originally released on the Elektra Records label in 1968, amidst…

Steamhammer – Mountains

This is another of Esoteric’s marvellous revisitations of a lost classic album, which they seem to be finding and reissuing on a regular basis nowadays. In my opinion, this is not a bad thing, especially when they find a real…

Vangelis – Delectus

Vangelis should be no stranger to you, dear readers, as he has been responsible for some of the major milestones in the history of making electronic music accessible to the masses and he has a clutch of legendary albums to…
