  1. New today: "Who is ? A new Italian progressive rock band named after the mysterious Etruscan statuette featured in the cult television series ? Not quite. L'Ombra della Sera is actually the alter ego of ." expose.org/index.php/articles/

  2. New #review today: "For a band that put the word “laughing” in their name, Norway’s #LaughingStock doesn’t have much humor or lightness in their music. With Life in Seven Dreams, they’ve released seven albums, mostly concept albums dealing with dark and weighty topics. This new release continues that trend with eight tracks borne of difficulties the band members have been through recently." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #ApollonRecords expose.org/index.php/articles/

  7. New #review: "Guitarist #RikWright is back with his #FundamentalForces, and Fool’s Fate sees them leaning into an edgier sound. Wright has been developing his tone over the years, and he’s now at a place where clean sustain meets a hint of distortion for melodic use, and eerie echoes and whammy bar provide atmospheric backing to other sections." #ExposeOnline #jazz #JazzNotJazz #JazzGuitar expose.org/index.php/articles/

  9. New #review: "The genesis of Voci Notturne is as intriguing as the music itself. #ExpiatoriA vocalist #DavideCiccarelli (aka Krieg) initiated the concept, a split release centered on the 90s Italian TV miniseries of the same name, and #IlSegnoDelComando immediately recognized the terrain, stepping in with their cinematic, occult, and deliberately mysterious sensibilities. The result is a seven-track collaboration that plays less like a traditional split and more like two parallel readings of the same shadowed narrative." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock expose.org/index.php/articles/

  14. New #review today: "It won’t take more than ten or fifteen seconds into the opening track “How Dreams Do Creep (for Souls Asleep),” a nine-minute three part epic, to know that #IanNeal loves #ProgressiveRock and exactly who his biggest influence is; it sounds like he’s carefully studied and immersed himself in the sounds of #TonyBanks’ synthesizers, in particular the post-Gabriel #Genesis era from Trick of the Tail through Duke." #ExposeOnline expose.org/index.php/articles/

  19. New #review today: "Die Regeninsel is #DirkSerries’ sixth collaboration with #AsmusTietchens, thrice previously as #VidnaObmana (Untitled, Motives for Recylings, and The Shift Recyclings) and twice previously as Dirk Serries (Air and Die Hofner Akten); on this latest release Serries’ layered guitar abstractions meet Tietchens’ treatments and effects, pushing the limits of the possibilities of sound." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic #AmbientMusic #ExperimentalMusic expose.org/index.php/articles/

  21. New #review today: "Lifandi was recorded on #BjørnRiis’ 2025 European tour, on the very day Ace Frehley passed away, a detail that matters more than it first appears. Riis dedicates the performance to Ace, and you can feel that sense of personal stakes running through the entire set. This isn’t just a live document; it’s a moment captured under emotional pressure, and it gives the music an edge that studio recordings rarely sustain." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #LiveAlbum expose.org/index.php/articles/

  23. New #review today: "It was nearly 20 years ago now that I first heard HottoïzzoH, the debut EP by #OnségenEnsemble, and their first full-length album, Awalaï, came out in 2016. After that initial long gap, they managed three more albums at two-year intervals, followed by a four-year span until Realms, and now we have A Tale after a further four years." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #SpaceRock #PostRock expose.org/index.php/articles/

  25. New #review today: "#LorenzoBedini is best known as the primary songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of British #ProgressiveRock band #Airbridge going all the way back to their 1982 debut Paradise Moves, as well as all the more recent incarnations of the band beginning with the four-song EP Return in 2013. I suppose over the years he had composed some material that didn’t precisely fit the Airbridge sound, so it finds its way to life here on Bedini’s first solo album, Who Never Was." #ExposeOnline expose.org/index.php/articles/

  27. New #review today: "Over the last 13 years, Sweden’s #Agusa has done something a lot of so-called “retro” prog acts never quite pull off: they’ve made the past feel present-tense. Yes, the ingredients are familiar — late-60s/early-70s #ProgressiveRock, Scandinavian folk melodies, touches of #Krautrock repetition — but this isn’t museum work. It’s muscle memory. It breathes, expands, contracts." #ExposeOnline expose.org/index.php/articles/

  32. New #review today: "It’s not often that a release by an orchestra can be legitimately categorized as #jazz, but #MetropoleOrkest is no ordinary orchestra. Over the 80s years since its founding, the orchestra has backed such diverse artists as Ella Fitzgerald, Adrian Belew, Dizzy Gillespie, Al Jarreau, Tori Amos, Bono, Brian Eno, Elvis Costello, Snarky Puppy, Todd Rundgren, Louis Cole, and dozens (if not hundreds) more. But Arakatak is a pure Metropole release with no celebrity soloists, though it features compositions by #DonnyMcCaslin, #TinekePostma, #LouisCole, and others. #MihoHazama takes the baton for a rousing set of big arrangements." #ExposeOnline expose.org/index.php/articles/

  34. New #review today: "It’s been a few years since #Asceta’s previous album, and during that time some things haven’t changed, but other things have. The group remains an octet pursuing a #ChamberRock sound that shares a style with some contemporary bands from Europe (as well as other parts of the planet) loosely under the influence of #Bartók and #Stravinsky, using both chamber and rock instrumentation together." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #AvantProg expose.org/index.php/articles/

  36. New #review today: "#ThinkLikeAKeyRecords continues its run of archival excavations with The #KibboKift - The 1976 Rock Musical by #MaxwellHutchinson and #JudgeSmith (best known as a co-founder of #VanDerGraafGenerator). The concept is undeniably compelling: a dramatization of the eccentric British youth movement that evolved from pastoral, quasi-mystical idealism into something far more ideological. On paper, it sits squarely in the lineage of S.F. Sorrow, Tommy, and even The Kinks’ Preservation." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock #ProgressiveRock #RockMusical expose.org/index.php/articles/

  38. New #review today: "For each of his instrumental albums, #TheManFromRavCon chooses a theme, an idea backing the tracks. It’s not that they’re really concept albums, just sets of tracks with a similar feeling behind them. Following up the science-fictional The Time Traveler (2024), he moves to the American West, though not in a historical way. Snakeskin Symphony has a country blues underpinning without going wholly retro." #ExposeOnline #InstrumentalRock #CountryRock #BluesRock #SurfRock expose.org/index.php/articles/

  40. New #review today: "Decades ago Musea leased a CD titled Voices Beyond My Curtain by an Italian five-piece band called #TaleCue. It followed a self-titled cassette release by the band two years earlier. And it seems that was the end of their story, at least until late last year, when out of the blue a second Tale Cue CD finally appeared 36 years after the first. Surprisingly, after all those years, the core of the band is still intact." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock expose.org/index.php/articles/

  46. New #review today: "Amorphous shapes and formless structures abound in this collection of minimalist pieces by #ProjektRecords and #BlackTapeForABlue Girl founder #SamRosenthal. Every piece seems to be built from a base of raw elementary electronics, very slow moving, slow changing drifts from heaven, perhaps one droning chord with very subtle nuances in each of its components, shimmering and swirling around the listener in a stirring array of sound." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic #AmbientMusic expose.org/index.php/articles/
