Greenslade – Bedside Manners Are Extra [Remastered]

Bedside Manners Are Extra by Greenslade is another beautifully packaged re-release of a classic album from Esoteric Recordings, who pride themselves on curating high-quality reissues of material from earlier times. This was Greenslade’s second album, originally released in 1973 at…

Evership – Evership & Evership II

I’ve been writing reviews for a few years now, and during that time I’ve become aware of a few things that I’d like to share with you, so if will forgive my indulgences, I will begin. Firstly, despite what various…

Bjørn Riis – A Storm is Coming

Bjørn Riis of Airbag has released his third full-length solo album, A Storm is Coming, describing a failing relationship with great emotional honesty and starkly beautiful progressive rock music. His previous album Forever Comes to an End was also clearly…

Rosalie Cunningham – Rosalie Cunningham

I first saw Purson at HRH Prog in 2016 and marvelled, then a few days later in The Cavern, Exeter, they were again superb. I anticipated more to come, only to have my hopes dashed when they called it a…

Brighteye Brison – V

Brighteye Brison from Sweden have revealed their fifth album, V, apparently born from a Bad Elephant. It has to be said the discovery of this mountainous phenomenon somewhat mystified the TPA scientists. They confirmed that V consisted of only three mighty…

Nad Sylvan – The Regal Bastard

Nad Sylvan’s ‘vampirate’ trilogy (that’s half vampire and half pirate, although I’m not clear which halves) was a bit of an eye-opener. We all knew he could sing well enough to cope with the vocals demands of early Genesis (you…

Jordsjø – Nattfiolen

Jordsjø return with their latest album on Karisma Records. Last year saw their first ever CD release, the excellent Jord, which was followed later in the year with a compilation release of their previous cassette-only albums. All were of an…
