New #review today: "For over three decades and nearly a dozen albums, Swedish composer and multi-instrumentalist #SimonSteensland has been an irregular and unpredictable entity on the progressive music scene, his music embracing elements of symphonic, rock, folk, #AvantGarde minimalist, maximalist, and everything in between; some may call it #AvantProgressive although I believe it’s closer to classical music executed on mostly electric instruments." #ExposeOnline #áMARXE #ProgressiveRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/simon-steensland-explosion-of-bad-music-3.html

New #review today: "For those who’ve been paying attention, #LaurenceMiller is one half of #MillerTwins, and has been part of an increasing body of work that defies categorization. #TinnParrowAndCompany is one of his projects, and presents a wealth of fascinating music. My Gymnasium Museum presents 22 tracks composed over a long period of time. Miller’s background includes almost every kind of music imaginable, from rock to free jazz to modern Classical to theater music, and most of that is on display here, resulting in something that could be branded #RIO, as non-descriptive as that may be." #ExposeOnline #AvantProgressive #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/tinn-parrow-and-company-my-gymnasium-museum-2.html

New #review today: "#RienFaire is now up to their third album, the rather brief Le Défilé, and it carries on their quirky brand of #ArtPop; the old descriptor “surrealist nursery rhymes” is still applicable. The songs are catchy and melodic, though singing along is likely limited to French speakers, so humming will do." #ExposeOnline #AvantProgressive #AvantProg #DurEtDoux http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/rien-faire-le-defile-2.html

New #review today: "With #MikeJohnson’s solo debut, fans of #AvantProgressive rock have a lot to celebrate. Johnson is, of course, the driving force behind all those wonderful #ThinkingPlague albums, and The Gardens of Loss has many qualities in common with those, starting with #ElaineDiFalco’s vocals. Johnson’s compositional sense is entirely intact, only expanded with more diverse instrumentation." #ExposeOnline #CuneiformRecords #ProgressiveRock #ChamberRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/mike-johnson-the-gardens-of-loss-2.html

New #review today: "#Rhùn's Tozïh and Tozzos should be considered essential listening for fans of the #Zeuhl sound, taking it in some surprising new directions." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #AvantProgressive http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/rhun-tozzos-3.html

New #review today: "#ZioCrocifisso is one of many projects that #PaoloSkeBotto is involved with, and like the others (#Yūgen, #NotAGoodSign), the music is an #AvantProgressive tour-de-force. His collaborators in Zio Crocifisso are also active in Italian rock: #DarioMagri is in #Yokoano and #Sho; and #MatteoSerenelli is a member of #TheAppetizers." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #PaoloBotto http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/zio-crocifisso-campana-di-legno-trappola-per-topi-2.html

New #review today: "Yes, it’s been more than ten years since #HappyFamily released Minimal Gods, which featured the band regrouping after a sixteen-year hiatus to produce their best work to date. But that renewed activity was short-lived, and the members burned out and split up — given the intensity of their music, it’s easy to see how carrying on could seem like an insurmountable burden." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #AvantProgressive #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/happy-family-4037-2.html

New #review today: "The music of #Koenjihyakkei tends to attract such adjectives as intense, frenetic, and over-the-top. When it comes to #zeuhl-inspired music, this band’s motto has always been “too much is never enough” combined with “anything worth doing is worth over-doing.” Every track is a blast of energy with very little respite for overwhelmed listeners." #ExposeOnline #SkinGraftRecords #ProgressiveRock #AvantProgressive #TatsuyaYoshida http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/koenjihyakkei-live-at-club-goodman-2.html

New #review today: "#Abacaxi’s Quetzal, in spite of the iconically Mexican name, is an album by a French band that crosses math rock with #AphexTwin style erratic stuttering sounds — all accomplished by the way they play and the use of effects pedals." #ExposeOnline #MathRock #ExperimentalMusic #AvantProgressive #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/abacaxi-quetzal-2.html

#NewRelease: #Koenjihyakkei - Live at Club Goodman out 23 May 2025 on #SkinGraftRecords #ProgressiveRock #zeuhl #AvantProgressive https://skingraftrecords.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-club-goodman

We're happy to be premiering a new song by #PiliCoït, "Mzi." It comes from a split release with the inimitable #Yowie on #SkinGraftRecords. #ExposeOnline #AvantRock #AvantProgressive http://expose.org/.../debut-of-new-pili-coit-song-mzi-2.html

New #review today: "Anyone who’s heard the music of #Ni before will find more of the same (or similar at least) insanity on Fol Naïs as there was on the band’s previous albums like Les Insurgés de Romilly (2015) and Pantophobie (2019). If anything, the music is darker and more brutal than before..." #ExposeOnline #MathRock #AvantRock #AvantProgressive http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/ni-fol-nais-2.html

#CuneiformRecords has recently reissued the first #ForgasBandPhenomena album. Here are our reviews from when it first came out. #ExposeOnline #CanterburyScene #AvantProgressive http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/forgas-band-phenomena-roue-libre-2.html

New #review today: "Even if you’re familiar with Live in Berlin, the highly improvisational nature of #Curlew’s music ensures that this album will have something new for you. This is a very original sound that blends rock and jazz in a distinctive way. Catchy rhythms coalesce into a kind of warped funk..." #ExposeOnline #AvantRock #AvantJazz #AvantGarde #AvantProgressive http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/curlew-cbgb-nyc-ny-1987-taktlos-fextival-zurich-switzerland-2.html

New #review today: "It’s been nine years since the last album from #UniversZero, and I don’t want to say it’s been worth the wait for such a great album as Lueur, which would be great even if so much time hadn’t passed, and I'm always happy to hear more from #DanielDenis and company. Long-time fans of the band have nothing to worry about, as this is a continuation of UZ’s tradition of dark #ChamberRock." #ExposeOnline #RIO #AvantRock #AvantProg #AvantProgressive http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/univers-zero-lueur-2.html

New review today: "Some of the best kept secrets of the Japanese progressive music scene were the bands and projects of #HirofumiKawahara (#Osiris, #AstralTempel, and #Heretic) probably because they didn’t fit into any of the convenient styles like symphonic progressive or the #AvantProgressive that followed. Now after 44 years of musical activity, Kawahara’s entire body of work to date is being released in digital format by #Cuneiform." #ExposeOnline #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/heretic-hiro-kawahara-complete-works-3.html
