Accordo dei Contrari – AdC

Accordo dei Contrari are Italy’s latest way of showing the rest of the world they are still at the top of their game in prog. AdC is their third opus – released on the ever-brilliant AltrOck label – after 2007’s…

Jaga Jazzist – Starfire

20 years on from their beginnings the (literally) huge Norwegian band Jaga Jazzist have released Starfire. With eight members, Jaga are possibly more of a 21st Century orchestra than rock ‘band’, enabling a total sound palette that can achieve virtually…

Pavlov3 – Curvature-Induced Symmetry…Breaking EP

I may be in danger of becoming The Progressive Aspect’s default Chapman Stick Artist Reviewer. Personally I think that is possibly one of the coolest titles out there and that’s good because here’s another review of a “tapper”, and there’s…

Diatessaron – Sunshine

An unusual name. Meaning? The harmonisation of the four gospels into one single coherent narrative. Oh dear. Oh well, if we are all sitting comfortably let us begin. I started this review months ago, but this time I will…

Taylor’s Universe – Across The Universe: An Introduction To Taylor’s Universe

There are some folk who will run many a mile as soon as they espy the word “jazz”, and you would be right to surmise that obviously I am about to make reference to it. “Jazz”, when it comes down…

Todd Rundgren and Utopia – Live At The Electric Ballroom, Milwaukee, 23rd October 1978 & Todd Rundgren and Utopia – Live At The Old Waldorf

Todd Rundgren & Utopia – Live At The Electric Ballroom, Milwaukee, 23rd October 1978 / Live At The Old Waldorf

The one and only time I saw Todd Rundgren live was on the 4th August 1979 supporting Led Zeppelin at what would turn out to be the mighty Zep’s penultimate gig on home soil. Back then I knew nothing about…

Dreadnaught - Gettin' Tight With Dresdnaught EP

Dreadnaught – Gettin’ Tight With Dreadnaught EP

Celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2016, Dreadnaught from New Hampshire in the U.S. (not to be confused with other similarly named bands) are a new one on me. But I’m glad to be catching up! What we have here is…

Ulver – ATGCLVLSSCAP

Mostly Norwegian sonic explorers Ulver have over the two decades and more of their existence steadily built a reputation for never standing still, of always looking to see where that rugged path over there – yes, that one disappearing into…

Karda Estra – Future Sounds EP

It is always a treat to be reviewing anything beamed down from the rarefied world of Karda Estra, and the new(ish) EP Future Sounds is no exception to that rule. Karda Estra, aka Richard Wileman, has followed up their last…

John Kongos – Kongos (Expanded Edition)

In my youth during the seventies, having discovered music I devoured whatever appealed to me at the time. I remember hearing Tokoloshe Man by John Kongos, liking what I heard and going out and buying the single. Still have it…
