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: "#Chafouin (translation: Sly) is a French experimental noise-pop-rock trio (though sometimes a duo and sometimes a quartet), but when the band leader #lAustral decided to expand to an octet, he rechristened the band #ChafouinOrchestra, and this is their self-titled debut.

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: "#Kokkinià's music is a mixture of gorgeous melodic prog rock and raw heavy metal across nine tracks, referencing bands that started rejuvenating prog rock in the 90s." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #ProgMetal #BitumeProductions http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/kokkinia-the-last-are-lost-from-the-list-6.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: "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: "The instrumental overture “Leaving Diaspar” to #BrunoKarnel’s latest release, Villa Solitude, most definitely captures a dark and moody feeling and sets the stage for a mixed set of vocal tunes, mostly sung in French." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #ArtRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/bruno-karnel-villa-solitude-3.html

New #review today: "#Ledley's #RaphClarkson (trombone, effects), #ChrisWilliams (saxophone, effects), and #RiaanVosloo (electronics, post-production) produce #ImprovisedMusic that is mostly on the gentle side, without any frantic or chaotic turns, but full of timbral variety and subtlety." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/ledley-ledley-2.html

New #review today: "Three years after #Kornmo’s previous release Fimbulvinter, they are back with a new concept album called Vårjevndøgnsnatt (Night of the Spring Equinox), based on a story that begins in Ireland and ends in the deep Norwegian forests, spanning four long tracks for roughly 75 minutes of some of the best instrumental #ProgressiveRock that you could want." #ExposeOnline #ApollonRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/kornmo-varjevndognsnatt-6.html

New #review today: "Being in the vicinity of this Magnetar is a relatively gentle and calming experience, though it is warm, a combination of ambient and melodic elements that cover the listener like a warm blanket on a cold autumn night under the stars." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic #AmbientMusic #DirkSerries #Trosta http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/dirk-serries-trosta-magnetar-3.html

New #review today: "With a nod to Captain Beefheart, the loose collection of musicians known as The #Fishheads rounded up by #MarcSwordfish of #Astralasia released Lobster Basque Replica as the 100th release on the #FruitsDeMer sub-label crustacean." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock #AntonBarbeau #SimonHouse #IcarusPeel #PinkFloyd http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/the-fishheads-lobster-basque-replica-6.html

New #review today: "When most of us think of the folk music of Switzerland, the first thing that’s likely to come to mind is #yodeling, and it might seem that yodeling is about as un-jazz as can be. But when one gets down to basics, it’s just a vocal technique, a way of making sound with human vocal chords... #GabrielaMartina makes a solid case for its #jazz validity..." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/gabriela-martina-homage-to-gramlis-states-2.html

New #review today: "Retrogradient is a musical hologram. You can sample a few seconds from any of the nine tracks and it sounds like the entire album... what #Deorbit delivers on Retrogradient is a mind-numbing 44 minutes of sludgy distortion..." #ExposeOnline #SludgeRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/deorbit-retrogradient-6.html

New #review today: "#BrunoKarnel’s latest album goes about exploring some of these extreme places, lost in oceans of ice, in the deserts at the world’s extremes and in ancient jungle heat, Karnel takes the listener outward and onward without any fear. Unlike his previous album, which was powerful in a gentle way, Hic Sunt Dracones pulls out all the stops, presenting eleven tracks that occupy a space somewhere between heavy #ProgressiveRock and #PostRock..." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/bruno-karnel-hic-sunt-dracones-3.html

New #review today: "#TheChroniclesOfFatherRobin (TCOFR) emerged from the remains of the band #Fangorn back in 1993-94, mainly inspired by the classic bands and albums of the early 70s progressive music scene, alongside contemporary bands like #Änglagård, #Anekdoten, #WhiteWillow, and #Landberk." #ExposeOnline #ProgRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/the-chronicles-of-father-robin-the-songs-tales-of-airoea-book-1-6.html

New r#eview today: "Vandring was #Kornmo’s second concept album and is now their third release on #ApollonRecords. “Vandring” is Norwegian for “hiking,” and the ten instrumentals present different sonic poems about hiking in the mountains." #ExposeOnline #ProgRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/kornmo-vandring-6.html

New #review today: "The Lost Vision of the #ChandooPriest is a new Italian project by two young musicians: Francesca Zanetta and Niccolò Gallani... The resulting ten instrumentals feature majestic guitar melodies, strong organ driven themes, and prog jazz fusion conjuring images of #WishboneAsh, #PinkFloyd, #Anekdoten, and #Änglagård." #ExposeOnline #ProgRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/the-lost-vision-of-the-chandoo-priest-the-lost-vision-of-the-chandoo-priest-6.html
