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: "Hotel Pupik continues the changes in #LedBib that we saw on It’s Morning. The group is now a quartet, with the dual-saxophone front line of #PeteGrogan and #ChrisWilliams that has defined them since the beginning fronting just bass and drums. With the departure of keyboards, the arrangements are a bit less dense, and they continue the focus on sparser and more atmospheric sounds." #ExposeOnline #CuneiformRecords #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/led-bib-hotel-pupik-2.html

New #review today: "It might be easy to think of #Skullcap as #JanelAndAnthony plus one — that one being drummer / percussionist #MikeKuhl — but the personnel is where the similarities end, as this trio forms a complete group effort, from the bold compositions to the arrangements and execution." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #ProgressiveRock #JanelLeppin #AnthonyPirog #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/skullcap-snakes-of-albuquerque-3.html

New #review today: "Sweet. Two discs of vintage #JohnSurman, as the bandleader of a ten-piece ensemble, recorded live in April of ‘69 in Hamburg. Last year, Surman celebrated his 80h birthday, and what a long and varied career he has to show for it, but in 1969 he was just getting started as a bandleader after working as a sideman for the likes of Mike Westbrook, Peter Lemer, Ronnie Scott, John McLaughlin, Chris McGregor, and others." #ExposeOnline #CuneiformRecords #jazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/john-surman-flashpoints-and-undercurrents-3.html

New #review today: "As a fan of all the #Volapük albums I’ve heard, I always wondered about one item on their discography that I was unable to find a copy of. Where Is Tamashii? was a tantalizing mystery, having been released on a small French label without good distribution internationally. Luckily for all of us, whatever licensing issues there were have been resolved, and #CuneiformRecords brings us the missing album in digital form." #ExposeOnline #AvantRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/volapuk-where-is-tamashii-2.html

New #review today: "#MotherMallard was different than other electronic artists of the era, three skilled players with minimalist compositions in search of a tool to bring them to life, and that tool ended up being the modular Moog synthesizer, with #BobMoog being a big supporter of the group." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic #ExperimentalMusic #CuneiformRecords #DavidBorden #MotherMallardsPortableMasterpieceCompany http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/mother-mallards-portable-masterpiece-company-make-way-for-mother-mallard-50-years-of-music-3.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: "Some of the music produced by the #MillerTwins (Benjamin and Laurence) in the 70s has been released on the two #FourthWorldQuartet albums that have recently come out on #CuneiformRecords, but a significant portion of their work was never recorded at the time and existed only in printed form. For Early Compositions 1973-1976, they’ve pulled out those scores and performed the music in a studio." #ExposeOnline #AvantGarde #ChamberRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/miller-twins-early-compositions-2.html

New #review today: "One of the most interesting and unique groups on #CuneiformRecords' roster in the 90s was #Volapük, a trio led by drummer #GuigouChenevier. The group also featured bass clarinetist #MichelMandel and cellist #Guillaume Saurel. While the trio’s instrumentation may seem unusual, it does in fact have all of the ranges covered and together create a charming atmosphere with elements of #jazz, classical, and #AvantGarde." #ExposeOnline #RIO http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/volapuk-pukapok-3.html

New #review today: "Stylistically, the new #RascalReporters album is very much in the same vein as previous releases, with oddly titled tracks full of complex arrangements and abrupt shifts in mood, a little reminiscent of #FrankZappa’s Jazz from Hell, only performed by musicians instead of computer..." #ExposeOnline #CuneiformRecords #AvantRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/rascal-reporters-the-strainge-case-of-steve-2.html
