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: "In the early 70s, #MarianneSegal emerged as the principal songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist for #Jade, one of the more cherished cult names of the British #ProgressiveFolk movement.

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: "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 http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/dirk-serries-asmus-tietchens-die-regeninsel-3.html

New #review today: "The masters of German #PsychedelicFunk and #JazzRock #fusion are back with a new studio album of original material, the follow up to studio album Zoup a couple years back, and 55 years on from the band’s formation, now in your choice of CD, LP, or download." #Kraan #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/kraan-all-in-3.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: "#TheShirts was a post punk band in New York City in the late 70s to very early 80s. They performed at CBGBs, and in 1981 they recorded their final album live at Moogy Klingman's studio in the heart of Manhattan in front of an intimate audience, but it has never released until now. The fourteen songs never appeared on any of their studio albums." #ExposeOnline #AnnieGolden #PowerPop #ThinkLikeAKey http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/the-shirts-live-6.html

New #review today: "Taking their name from the Canadian media philosopher #MarshallMcLuhan, known for stating that “the medium is the message,” the band #McLuhan formed in Chicago in 1969 as a concept and mixed media group with no specific musical venue or style, which is evident when you listen to their one and only album, Anomaly." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic #ProgressiveRock #ThinkLikeAKey http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/mcluhan-anomaly-6.html

New #review today: "#ThinkLikeAKey is digging further back in time for #JimmyCampbell’s earliest recordings with his first band #ThePanthers and then #TheKirkbys for It's a Crime: The Complete Recordings." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/the-kirkbys-its-a-crime-the-complete-recordings-6.html

New #review today: "For 2025, #AntonBarbeau has two albums on #ThinkLikeAKey, Dig the Light and Glitch Wizard. Just last year he released Morgenmusik​ / ​Nachtschlager, a 2CD set of songs, not to mention various 7” singles and collaborations. His stock in trade is jangly #PsychedelicRock, though he touches on a lot of bases on these 26 songs." #ExposeOnline #PowerPop http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/anton-barbeau-glitch-wizard-dig-the-light-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. Starfield is an EP featuring five gentle tracks, plus an instrumental version of the title track, which features Susy Wall on vocals." #ExposeOnline #FolkRock #ProgressiveRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/gordon-giltrap-starfield-2.html

New #review today: "While #SteveRoach and #DirkSerries (#VidnaObmana) have been individually been plying their respective crafts for many decades, their paths first converged in the mid-90s. The two continued to release material together for another ten years. Both artists inhabit a similar soundspace, sculpting their musical creations in a #FloatingAmbient style informed by pure electronics and tribal sounds..." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/steve-roach-vidnaobmana-circles-artifacts-2025-remaster-and-the-live-story-3.html

New #review today: "#Chercán is a new group, though members have roots in such previous bands as #LaDesooorden and #Homínido, which I’ll admit to no familiarity with. In any case, this debut album is a fine effort, full of great songs and superb playing. You might hear occasional hints of #KingCrimson or #PorcupineTree or #TheMarsVolta, but on the whole, it’s an enticingly original sound." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/chercan-chercan-2.html

New #review today: "#DrStrangelyStrange is an Irish #FolkRock band dating back to 1967, founded by Tim Booth and Ivan Pawle, who then teamed up with multi-instrumentalist Tim Goulding. They have been active 1967–1971, 1973–early-80s, 1996 (small reunion), and 2007–present." #ExposeOnline #ThinkLIkeAKey http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/dr-strangely-strange-anti-inflammatory-1.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 #review today: "First Wind is a curious artifact from the early 70s, relatively obscure but worthy of notice. I don’t remember when I first became aware of it, but hearing the opening track, “Ratsa (Don't Know Why),” hooked me in. Now #ThinkLikeAKey has brought it to wider release, with the addition of nine bonus tracks. The album is credited to #RicottiAndAlbuquerque, the duo of #FrankRicotti and #MichaelDeAlbuquerque." #ExposeOnline #JazzRock #BluesRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/ricotti-albuquerque-first-wind-2.html

New #review today: "#Unicorn was a British soft #CountryRock band that was active from 1967 to 1978. This #ThinkLikeAKey retrospective album comprises Unicorn’s first and last recordings. All 22 tracks have been lovingly remastered by Prof. Stoned." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/unicorn-shed-no-tear-the-early-late-unicorn-6.html

New #review today: "#Firehand is the ambient electronic project of composer and synthesist #RobertLogan, who also releases material under his own name. While previous Firehand releases have walked a thin line between colorfully melodic ideas and mysterious floating ambient drift, Scattering Spectrum follows a more granular essence with dark shadowy vibrations calling out from places unknown..." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/firehand-scattering-spectrum-3.html

New #review today: "There is the bare minimum of information available about the underground 1970 band from Chicago called #Brevity. I can only assume that Brevity’s Home Is Where Your Dog Is was a one-and-done. Recorded by #FrankZappa's Straight/Bizarre label, the album sat in the vaults for over 50 years before being unearthed, lovingly restored by Prof. Stoned, and now released on #ThinkLikeAKey..." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/brevity-home-is-where-your-dog-is-6.html

New #review today: "Yesterday’s Sunshine Today is a #ThinkLikeAKey reissue of the Greek label 2020 Timemachine vinyl album. In addition to the original nineteen covers, four bonus tracks have been added, including the final song “Hello God” performed by Patrick Campbell-Lyons and Alex Spyropoulous AKA #Nirvana. Yesterday’s Sunshine Today is a hit-or-miss compilation by mostly unknown artists." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/various-artists-yesterdays-sunshine-today-6.html

New #review today: "British singer-songwriter #JohnBromley made a quiet exit from the music scene in 70s. He recorded his one and only album, Sing, in 1969, and now 55 years later, #ThinkLikeAKey is reissuing this remastered collection of 60s Brit pop psych songs, augmented by single A- and B-sides and demos with one song being previously unreleased." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicPop #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/john-bromley-sing-6.html

New #review today: "#KarlBartos was a member of #Kraftwerk starting with Radio Activity in 1975 through Electric Café and departing in 1990... The original orchestra soundtrack for The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari by Giuseppe Becce has been lost to time and in 2005 Bartos conceived of the idea that he would like create an entirely new soundtrack." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/karl-bartos-the-cabinet-of-dr-caligari-6.html

New #release today: "Back in the late 60s and early 70s there was an obscure British #PsychFolk band called #Lifeblud, founded by lead vocalist #RogerKnott. Those early albums were pretty decent and the British archival label Seelie Court reissued them in 2021, drawing attention to Roger’s music, which led #ThinkLikeAKey to release this two-disc compilation of Roger’s time in Nashville spanning 2005 to 2016." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/roger-knott-nashville-sessions-6.html

New #review today: "#AntonBarbeau, pop psych musician extraordinaire, has a long musical journey from Sacramento to London to Berlin After a string of releases starting 1985, #FruitsDeMerRecords discovered Anton’s love of pop psych and Krautrock, which led to a wider audience. Now #ThinkLikeAKey has released a double CD of 31 original songs. This massive set of quirky #PowerPop showcases Anton’s love of the decades-spanning genre." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/anton-barbeau-morgenmusik-nachtschlager-6.html

New #review today: "When #AnnieHaslam and #Renaissance toured in 2022, they called it the Legacy Tour, highlighting music from throughout Haslam’s history, going all the way back to the early 70s and including some fan favorites. The tour also celebrated her lasting legacy as the group’s lead singer as she reached the age of 75 by including tracks from her own albums. The Legacy Tour 2022 is a 2CD recording from that tour..." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/renaissance-the-legacy-tour-2022-2.html

New #review today: "One of #DirkSerries' aliases was #StreamsOfConsciousness, which began in earnest in 2013 and continues to this day, bearing an explorative deep #AmbientDrone style created using electric guitar and guitar effects in his home studio, with slow flowing evolutionary washes of sonic color full of warmth and emotion, not at all unlike the works he produced as #VidnaObmana." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/dirk-serries-streams-of-consciousness-compiled-3.html

New #review today: "Kraan’s latest offering, their first studio album since 2020’s Sandglass, is another fine effort that doesn’t disappoint on any level. What does it sound like? Well, of course it sounds like #Kraan, a sound that is instantly identifiable as their own since they hit the Berlin scene back in ‘72, a strong and funky #JazzRock style that’s mostly instrumental..." #ExposeOnline #KrautRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/kraan-zoup-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
