Tom Slatter – Demon

Whimsical. There you go, got that out of the way! The album where, by Tom’s own word, he exorcises his demons. With every album he gets better, not that I shall tell him, a raise on nothing remains nothing and…

Romantic Warriors IV – Krautrock Part 1

Krautrock – Part 1 is the fourth musical documentary film from Zeitgeist Media, and a long-running labour of love for its founders, writers, and directors Adele Schmidt and José Zegarra Holder. I have always been slightly uncomfortable using the term…

Patrick Moraz – The Story of I [Remastered]

Classically trained and already a composer of film music, Patrick Moraz took over The Nice’s keyboard seat vacated by Keith Emerson who realised that LP sounded better with an E in front and formed ELP. Renamed Refugee, and one album…

Thank You Scientist – Terraformer

Oops… they did it again! Yep Thank You Scientist return with another collection of sure fire dance floor fillers aimed at the supple and multi-jointed. ‘Strictly’ not for the feint-hearted, but rather music designed for those who wish to gyrate…

In this update we feature: > A Sweet Niche – WIRES > Vola – Applause Of A Distant Crowd > Trojan Horse – Wicker [EP] > Jumble Hole Clough – A king finding a croissant amusing > Rainburn – Insignify…

Elder – The Gold & Silver Sessions

I’m learning to never underestimate Elder. In my review of their last studio album, the masterful Reflections Of A Floating World, I spent a fair amount of time detailing how quickly and impressively their music has developed over the past…

Djam Karet – A Sky Full Of Stars For A Roof

Anyone already familiar with Californian instrumentalists Djam Karet (pronounced Jam Care-Ray), will know what to expect from this, their latest release. There is a welcome familiarity about the way they go about creating music. It will be fundamentally guitar-based, with…

Queensrÿche – The Verdict

My introduction to Queensrÿche was Operation: Mindcrime, a stellar progressive metal album, and an amazing experience. Following the creation of that album, in 1988, the band went on to write significantly more accessible music, and even had some success in…
