New #review today: "In harmony with the cover art and the album title, much of the music on #FrenchTV's new album sounds as if it could have been written as the soundtrack to a 70s spy thriller movie, with breezy themes and funky beats. What you won’t hear is the complex Canterbury / RIO sound the band has presented on most of their albums." #ExposeOnline #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/french-tv-the-spanish-caper-2.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: "We have previously encountered cellist #JanelLeppin as half of #JanelAndAnthony, as leader of #EnsembleVolcanicAsh, and as a member of Skullcap, but she’s got a lot more going on than just those releases. 2026 sees Cuneiform releasing a pair of albums under her name: Slowly Melting is a true solo effort, while Pluto in Aquarius is another album with Ensemble Volcanic Ash." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #AvantRock #ExperimentalMusic #AnthonyPirog #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/janel-leppin-slowly-melting-pluto-in-aquarius-2.html

New #review today: "Somewhere around October 2007, three members of #BirdsongsOfTheMesozoic launched this side project to showcase their improvisational interests. At that time, the trio began a residency at Outpost 186, a gallery in Cambridge, MA, and for each session the trio would invite a guest player to join them for completely #ImprovisedMusic. The trio took the name #bmez as a recognition of their roots." #ExposeOnline #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/bmez-under-circuitous-skies-3.html

New #review today: "We have seen master guitarist #FrédériclÉpée in a variety of settings, from the full-on #ProgressiveRock of his band Shylock in the 70s, to Philharmonie in the 90s, to the instrumental guitar rock of Yang in the post-2000 era, to the occasional solo album released along that same trajectory. His latest solo release Contre Courant is cut from a similar cloth as his 2019 album The Empty Room." #ExposeOnline #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/frederic-lEpee-contre-courant-3.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.

New #review today: "#BalloonsForTheDog was a band based in suburban Maryland that was active in the late 70s and early 80s.

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

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

@vinyl I have this one thanks to your recommendation a couple years back!

Which reminds me, if you haven't already, highly recommend this #RobertWyatt archive comp if you haven't already heard it - recorded after a US tour with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, thanks to which we're treated to Jimi himself playing bass on Slow Walkin' Talk.

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: "It’s been a long road for #FrenchTV from their first self-released LPs in the 80s through a long string of CDs. And here we arrive at album 15, after all the changes through the years, and finally #CuneiformRecords is releasing this one; I’m not sure why it hasn’t happened sooner, as French TVs recipe of complex styled difficult music, even if not quite #RIO and closer to instrumental #ProgRock, certainly fits Cuneiform to a tee..." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/french-tv-15-a-ghastly-state-of-affairs-3.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
