Potter’s Daughter – Casually Containing Rage [EP] & Singles

I have to admit this review started a couple of months ago, and then simply as an ADA review of the band’s most recent release, the Casually Containing Rage EP. For one reason or another, it just didn’t come to…

Dwiki Dharmawan – Hari Ketiga

Even in as impressive a roster of talent as can be found on MoonJune Records, some artists stand out more than others. For me, Indonesian keyboard player Dwiki Dharmawan is one of these. Increasingly improbably, every new release from Dwiki…

Roz Vitalis – Compassionizer

With Roz Vitalis main man Ivan Rozmainsky releasing the debut album from a new project called Compassionizer, I felt it an opportune time to revisit its namesake. I recently wrote another nostalgic look back at an older album, with my…

Martin Barre – 50 Years of Jethro Tull

Martin Lancelot Barre (now 74) has been known for years as the guitarist and trustworthy companion of founder/singer/flutist Ian Anderson with the English folk/prog rock band Jethro Tull. It came like a bolt from the blue for the loyal right…
