Gentle Giant – The Missing Piece (2024 Steven Wilson Remix)

As I mentioned last year in my review of Interview, I had not delved into any Gentle Giant releases beyond their eighth album, given how sharply public opinion seemed to drop off after that. The appearance of this Steven Wilson…

Yes – Talk [30th Anniversary: 4CD Boxset]

Talk, the fourteenth studio album by British progressive rock legends Yes, was first released on 21 March 1994 and is often referred to as the ‘lost’ Yes album. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the album has been reissued as a…

Baker Gurvitz Army: Since Beginning: The Albums: 1974-1976 | Live 1975

Last year, I fell down a Baker Gurvitz Army rabbit hole with Esoteric’s excellent Neon Lights five-disc set. As I said at the time, I was convinced to purchase the collection of three studio albums that Esoteric put out in…

Jethro Tull – Live: Bursting Out (The Inflated Edition)

Live: Bursting Out (The Inflated Edition) is the latest classy release in the deluxe edition remasters of classic Jethro Tull albums, which have become ‘must-buys’ for so many fans of this iconic band. Steven Wilson once again oversees the remixing…

Squackett – A Life Within A Day

Esoteric’s series of reissues keep bringing me opportunities to discover or reassess albums I’ve overlooked in the past; some are newer than others, it seems. As I found with Nektar’s Remember the Future, it was worth giving the album a…

Anthony Phillips – The Golden Hour: Private Parts & Pieces XII

Didn’t I already review Private Parts & Pieces XII? Ah, I’m mistaken; turns out what I reviewed in the past was Twelve, the title of Private Parts & Pieces V. Confused yet? The music of Anthony Phillips has had a…

Carmen – The Albums 1973-1975 [3CD Boxset]

A few months ago, I reviewed Patterns on the Window, a set that I hoped would introduce me to dozens of little-known progressive artists from the 70s – after all, it had ‘progressive’ in the subtitle. But as wave after…

White Willow – Ex Tenebris (Remaster)

This is the second in a series of six White Willow re-releases on Karisma Records and is presented for the first time on vinyl, with the original cover artwork. Ex Tenebris was White Willow’s second album and has been remastered…

Jack Bruce - Smiles & Grins, Broadcast Sessions 1970-2001 [4CD/2BLU-RAY Remastered Boxset]

Jack Bruce – Smiles & Grins, Broadcast Sessions 1970-2001 [Remastered Boxset]

The word ‘legendary’ tends to get bandied around a little too freely, often applied to bands and artists who have merely managed to create a bit of a buzz! Well, the word is definitely warranted when discussing Jack Bruce. Travelling…

Van der Graaf Generator – Still Life [Remastered]

Esoteric’s approach to reissuing albums on vinyl seems as canny as picking names out of a hat; it’s impossible to predict what they’ll choose next. With stablemates Van der Graaf Generator, Esoteric have selected two rather opposite entries from the…
