Karmamoi – Strings From The Edge Of Sound

A curious release in many ways from Italian proggers Karmamoi. It isn’t exactly a new album, as in completely new music. It’s a mixture of new songs, and reworkings of several old tracks given an orchestral makeover. Apparently, the core…

Desert Twelve – The Last Dark Wood

I am a strong believer that it takes three full listens to an album to really have a valuable opinion of it. Some of my favourite albums of all time really didn’t land with me until that special third listen.…

The Radicant – We Ascend

Since the break up of Anathema, Vincent Cavanagh has shifted his focus to creating audio pieces to accompany installations for visual artists. This particular journey began in 2017, in the year that Anathema’s final recording The Optimist was released, when…

Mandoki Soulmates ‎– A Memory Of Our Future

In my review of 2019’s Living in the Gap + Hungarian Pictures album I mentioned Leslie Mándoki was one of those musicians who would occasionally crop up in conversation, but other than some YouTube concert footage, I knew little about…

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…

Kaipa – Sommargryningsljus

Kaipa, who were first formed in 1973, and went on to become legendary within the Swedish music scene and further afield, here they return with their 15th studio album Sommargryningsljus. This is the follow up to their last release Urskog…
