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

New #review today: "#TheWinterResidence is the latest collaboration between British multi-instrumentalist #MikeSeed and #RLoftiss of #TheGrayFieldRecordings. Their debut album, How the Night Falls, presents eleven tracks in just under forty minutes, traversing territory somewhere between #DarkFolk, #wyrdfolk, hauntological folk, and experimental #folktronica. Ethereal vocals drift through indistinct electronic textures, #FieldRecordings, and spectral atmospheres that often seem to exist at the edge of perception." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic #ExperimentalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/the-winter-residence-how-the-night-falls-6.html

New #review today: "#MarkWirtz remains one of pop's great outliers. Best known for the unfinished #ATeenageOpera project, he spent the late 60s pushing studio pop toward increasingly elaborate forms, then somehow carried that vision into 1973 long after the rest of popular music had moved on. #ThinkLikeAKeyRecords' new reissue pairs his two obscure Capitol albums, Balloon and Hothouse Smiles, restoring both LPs to their original configurations and adding the non-LP B-side "Nothing to Do." The first thing to know is that these albums don't sound much like 1973. They're rooted in #BaroquePop, music hall traditions, film-score orchestration, and #Beatles-inspired studio craft." #ExposeOnline #ArtPop #PsychedelicRock #PsychedelicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/mark-wirtz-the-70s-albums-balloon-hothouse-smiles-6.html

New #review today: "#KingOfSweden is a really good #ProgressiveRock band that builds their sound out of the classic building blocks of prog, but does such a good job of it that they don’t sound retro or nostalgic. In the four tracks on Interregnum, which is their second full-length album, they remind me at times of the French band #Atoll, #PeterBanks’ #Flash, and (for current references) #MoonLetters." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/king-of-sweden-interregnum-2.html

#ThrowbackThursday #reviews from 1998: "For the first time in who knows how long, the Ozrics really surprised me with this one. While still undeniably #OzricTentacles in every way, they have pushed further into territories they have always hinted at before, namely dance, electronica, #JazzFusion, and spacey ambient." #ExposeOnline #SpaceRock #ElectronicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/ozric-tentacles-curious-corn-2.html

New #review today: "With #HadalSherpa's fourth full-length release Mountains, the Finnish quartet returns to the heavy world-influenced rock that made their second album Void Weaver such a standout, a purely instrumental style that meets somewhere at the crossroads of the ripping heady power jam sound as it crosses from Morocco to Istanbul." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #SpaceRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/hadal-sherpa-mountains-3.html

New #review today: "As a budding keyboard player in the 70s, I really loved the sound of an overdriven #HammondOrgan I heard in bands like #DeepPurple and #UriahHeep, and it’s obvious that a lot of other people did too — and still do. #Gjenferd is a band from Bergen that’s a shining example of a modern band with that classic sound as their primary influence." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock #ClassicRock #OrganRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/gjenferd-black-smoke-rising-2.html

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 http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/metropole-orkest-arakatak-2.html

New #review today: "After a five-year gap, #Ping is back with another set of off-kilter rock songs. Songs from the Nebula carries on from The Zigzag Manoeuvre with eleven slices of unpredictable music. While not much of it actually sounds like #FrankZappa, it’s apparent that the influence looms large in their minds, working from a willingness to warp various styles into a humorous sculpture of theatrical craziness." #ExposeOnline #ApollonRecords #ArtRock #ProgressiveRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/ping-songs-from-the-nebula-2.html

New #review today: "#DiegoPiñera is a #jazz drummer originally from Uruguay, though he’s been based in Berlin for some time now, and his music certainly takes after those European artists who incorporate Classical influences into their jazz. This is especially true on Romanian Dance, where #BélaBartók is the primary reference." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #ChamberJazz #JohnPatitucci #DavidKikoski http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/diego-pinera-romanian-dance-evidence-2.html

New #review today: "#Evolución is a Chilean band that has been around since the early 80s, though their recorded output is sparse; Secretos is a live album recorded in 2006-2007 and released in 2021. While I can’t fault the players for their technique, the music is instrumental fusion-oriented rock somewhat on the generic side." #ExposeOnline #MylodonRecords #JazzRock #ProgressiveRock #fusion http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/evolucion-secretos-2.html

New #review today: "For his third release on #ProjektRecords, Argentine composer #GustavoDenouard makes the outer reaches of the cosmos his home, with five extended tracks of texture-based shimmering dronescapes that bear enough melodic elements to keep the listener engaged for the duration, like the soundtrack to a wondrous dream that carries one far away into the beyond." #ExposeOnline #ElectonicMusic #AmbientMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/gustavo-denouard-echoes-of-the-cosmos-3.html

New #review today: "The Italian #ProgressiveRock band #SigmundFreud, formed in the summer of 1972, was inspired by the harmonious melodies and enchanted songs by their contemporaries. They recorded for two labels but were never able to get it all together to record an album. Fifty years later, through the encouragement of #BlackWidowRecords, they were able to realize their dream after re-mastering and re-recording the music with a few tweaks here and there." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/sigmund-freud-risveglio-6.html

New #review today: "I wasn’t sure what to expect from this trio led by #JérémieTernoy, one of the founding members of #TOC, a group that mostly dwells in the realms of improvisation. Surprisingly, most of the six tracks herein seem fully composed, with a loose enough feel to make them appropriate for the #jazz idiom." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/jeremie-ternoy-trio-survol-a-basse-altitude-3.html

New #review: "#TOC is a trio we have covered many times here; the name stands for the surnames of the members: keyboardist #JérémieTernoy, drummer #PeterOrins, and guitarist #IvannCruz. The recording at hand is a 33-minute single, and what one will find here is about as free as free gets, constantly shifting in and out of pinnacles of manic chaos, friction, energy, experimentation, and raw freedom with no compromises." #ExposeOnline #JeanLucGuionnet #ImprovisationalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/toc-jean-luc-guionnet-quelques-idees-dun-vert-incolore-dorment-furieusement-3.html

New #review today: "We’ve been following #CrystalJacqueline for many years from her first solo efforts on #FruitsDeMerRecords in 2013 and with The Honey Pot since 2016. Over the years she has grown musically, with her latest effort being her best to date." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock #FolkRock #AcidFolk http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/crystal-jacqueline-friends-smoke-road-6.html

New #review today: "While recording their new album #UsAndThem found themselves pulled in two opposite directions, partly towards the pastoral and idyllic and partly towards darker realms, the result being an album that describes the different sides of life — the light that is at the starting point and the shadow that is always there." #ExposeOnline #fruitsdeMerRecords #acidfolk #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/us-and-them-the-lights-and-the-shadow-6.html

New #review today: "#LaNouvelleMusique, the London-based duo of #JoannaBeck (vocals and bass) and #IanDeSylva (guitar), have produced an album of ten originals plus a cover of #SandyDenny’s “Crazy Lady Blues.” The songs are a mixture of Joanna’s ethereal vocals, acoustic guitar, #AcidFolk, #ProgressiveRock, keyboards, and exquisite vocal harmonies." #ExposeOnline #FruitsDeMerRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/la-nouvelle-musique-la-nouvelle-musique-6.html

New #review today: "Guitarist #WolfgangMuthspiel turns his attention to the influence of Classical music on his life with Etudes / Quietudes. Within the framework of solo pieces for acoustic guitar, he applies aspects of jazz improvisation to the seventeen brief compositions, which are mostly his own but include interpretations of two pieces by #JSBach and #PaulMotian." #ExposeOnline #ClassicalGuitar #JazzGuitar http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/wolfgang-muthspiel-etudes-quietudes-2.html

New #review today: "Back in 2016 I reviewed reissues of the two #Mormos albums on the Spalax label, and in the time since then, having reviewed a few thousand other releases, I’d completely forgotten about Mormos. So I was quite surprised to get a message out of the blue from #ErnieMansfield, one of the band’s members, who has released a live album, recorded on March 10, 1972 at Chat Écarlate in Paris." #ExposeOnline #FolkRock #AcidFolk #PsychedelicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/mormos-live-at-le-chat-Ecarlate-2.html

New #review today: "Veteran guitarist #GordonGiltrap has long been known as a master of his craft, if not exactly a virtuoso, favoring subtlety over shredding technique.

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: "#Vanderson is the nom de plume of #MaciejWierzchowski, a Polish synthesist, who started out in the early 90s as a DJ mixing music and composing non-commercial electro-pop and techno tracks, later performing at parties, TV shows and techno-clubs. Eventually his interests shifted to classic electronic music, and in 2007 he released his first album of 70s / 80s styled #BerlinSchool #ElectronicMusic..." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/vanderson-2055-3.html

New #review today: "#MattDorsey has worked as a bassist with a close association with #DaveKerzner. He has also played with #Circuline and the tribute band #ProgJect. Left to his own devices, he’s created Let Go, a collection of songs very much in the style found on Kerzner’s solo albums. This might be described as progressive-leaning modern rock, somewhat similar in sound to some of the 80s Neo-Prog bands but without any of the dated production." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/matt-dorsey-let-go-2.html
