Cassiber - Beauty and the Beast

Cover art

Cassiber reminds me of a group who picked up the ball dropped by This Heat, and ran with it to greener pastures. It must have been quite an icy cold shower of an experience for those who first...

Cluster - First Encounter Tour 1996

Cover art

Conventum - À l'Affût d'un Complot & Le Bureau de Central Utopies

Cover art

D.F.A. - Lavori in Corso

Cover art

Rarely has a new Italian progressive created an album of this caliber; DFA have really put a lot of work into making an album of incredible complexity and depth for their premier run. This is...

Deep Purple - Purpendicular

Cover art

No one should need an introduction to this group, probably one of the most famous of 70s hard rock groups. Deep Purple, in their early days, were quite innovative in the format, shaping and...

Edge - Suction 8

England - Garden Shed

Cover art

At last, one of the last touchstone albums of British symphonic prog makes it to CD. Oh, there was a bad vinyl transcription on the Japanese Edison label a few years ago, but now the master tapes...

Erik Norlander - Threshold

Cover art
