Steve Morse Band – Triangulation

It all started with Tommy Vance and the Friday Rock Show in the late 70’s, and its theme tune Take it off the Top by The Dixie Dregs. It was pretty much the only ‘rock’ music show on UK’s Radio…

Spock’s Beard – The Archaeoptimist

Nektar – A Tab In The Ocean (Deluxe 5 Disc Limited Edition)

This is full circle for me. After years of discovering and rediscovering Nektar classics, I’m finally back with the album that began my collection, the band’s symphonic second outing from 1972. It was my starting place because it was the…

Various Artists – Burn It Up: The Rise Of British Dance Music 1986-1991
