New #review today: "#JamesStrain of #RascalReporters worked with #HomunculusRes on their two most recent albums and it seems that he got on well enough with multi-instrumentalist #DarioDAlessandro to form the duo called #Lunophone. Surroundings is their first release, and it’s fun romp through various #Canterbury and Canterbury-adjacent sounds." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #CanterburyScene #RIO http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/lunophone-surroundings-2.html

New #review today: "Perhaps one of the most idiosyncratic bands to emerge from the Midwest in the 70s, #RascalReporters is one of those groups that would completely change their stripes from one album to the next — one might not even recognize that two adjacent albums on their timeline are even by the same band, which is a good thing I guess, keeps you guessing." #ExposeOnline #AvantRock #AvantProg #AvantGarde http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/rascal-reporters-dux-in-a-row-3.html
