New #review today: "For those unfamiliar with #JohnHoward, the British #SingerSongwriter first emerged in the mid-70s with the now highly regarded Kid in a Big World. Although commercial success eluded him at the time, his work has enjoyed a remarkable revival in recent decades, leading to a steady stream of new recordings and reissues. His latest release, Overnight Bags, is a deeply personal collection of eleven songs." #ExposeOnline #ThinkLikeAKeyRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/john-howard-overnight-bags-6.html

New #review today: "#EllingUlvestad is a songwriter from the Planet Earth who leads a band called #Molo. Several years ago, I wrote about the album Earthsongs, and now we have the band’s second album, This Is Earth. The primary feature of the new album is that the quality of the songwriting remains at the same high level — these are just good songs presented with relatively few extraneous frills." #ExposeOnline #ApollonRecords #SingerSongwriter http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/molo-this-is-earth-2.html

#ThrowbackThursday review from 1995: "A Dutch quartet of guitar, bass, drums and woodwinds, this is #Blast's second release (the first being the hopelessly obscure Puristsirup from 1993), and the first for #CuneiformRecords. While their music is ostensibly rock based, they seem to pull more than their share of influence from the more recent proponents of #ChamberRock' the early abstractions of #HenryCow..." #ExposeOnline #AvantProgressive http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/blast-wire-stitched-ears-3.html

New #review today: "I became aware of #EdMacan around 1997, an educator from California’s north coast College of the Redwoods, who’d written a scholarly tome titled Rocking the Classics – English #ProgressiveRock and the Counterculture. Around the same time, his band #HermeticScience released their debut album, a band like no other, featuring Macan on mallet percussion (mostly vibraphone and marimba) and piano, and two students from his music program on bass and drums, forming a trio. At the time there was nothing else quite like them — all of the music was written by Macan, though the influence of his progressive rock interests were always evident." #ExposeOnline JazzFusion #JazzRock #jazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/hermetic-science-ed-macans-hermetic-science-30th-anniversary-edition-3.html

New #review today: "#AltaForma’s Trajectory continues the, er, trajectory plotted on their debut. This is highly melodic, supremely technical rock music that I would describe more as prog-adjacent than actual #ProgressiveRock. Some of the instrumental parts are so tight and shreddy they might seem like refugees from a metal album, but then you get the powerful clean vocals and keyboard backing and you’re in different territory." #ExposeOnline #AntoineFafard http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/alta-forma-trajectory-2.html

New #review today: "Innsmouth, Massachussets, at the historic Gilman House, 15 November 2024: #HermeticScience played an 85 minute set which was taped for release as a YouTube concert movie, released earlier this year.

New #review today: "Not long ago I wrote about Aaron Diehl’s Zodiac Suite, an album of music composed by #MaryLouWilliams in the 40s. Pianist #AdamFairhall and drummer #JohnnyHunter take on more of Williams’ oeuvre on Play Mary Lou Williams. Being a piano and drums duo, the result is of course quite different in sound than Diehl’s piano trio with lots of guests. And it’s on Discus Music, so you can expect an element of the #AvantGarde." #ExposeOnline #jazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/adam-fairhall-johnny-hunter-play-mary-lou-williams-2.html

New #review today: "In March 1980, #Kraan was the quartet of #PeterWolbrandt (guitar, vocals), #HellmutHattler (bass), #UdoDahmen (drums), and #IngoBischof (keyboards), following the Tournee live album, which was recorded at various dates throughout 1979. Their sound, somewhat uncommon among German bands with a few exceptions, was a powerful funky jazz-rock laced with psychedelia..." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/kraan-aladin-tapes-3.html

New Wreview today: "Previously on #WorldSanguineReport, #AndrewPlummer found himself in the company of a group featuring six or more musicians on Skeleton Blush. That was released in 2020, and now WSR is pared down to just #RuthGoller (bass, vocals), #WillGlaser (drums), and #MatthewBourne (harmonium) accompanying Plummer, who sings and plays guitar." #ExposeOnline #ArtRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/world-sanguine-report-songs-from-the-harbour-2.html

New #review today: "#Bizirik is the mostly-instrumental project of Chilean multi-instrumentalist #CristiánLarrondo, who at one time was the bassist and #ChapmanStick player for the group #MarDeRobles, a band that seems to have called it a day around 2008 following their second album Indígena." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/bizirik-ceremonia-ii-3.html

New #review: "#Fjieri came together in 1997 as the Italian band consisting of #NicolaLori (guitars), #StefanoPanunzi (keyboards), #AngeloStrizzi (drums, percussion) and #ElioLori (bass). On hearing the band, #RichardBarbieri (#PorcupineTree, #Japan) decided to join them, becoming not only an adjunct musician but also an artistic producer, which is quite evident by the strong Porcupine Tree similarities in the music." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #ArtRock #JakkoJakszyk http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/fjieri-words-are-all-we-have-reloaded-6.html
