Iwan Fals - Orang Gila

Cover art

I’m not sure how near Exposé’s ballpark this Indonesian singer-songwriter’s CD is, but hell, why not have a go at it anyway? The first question one may be inclined...

Jaye Foucher - Infectious Licks

Cover art

Indeed, infectious they are. Foucher is a guitarist from New England operating in the more-or-less instrumental rock idiom of folks like Eric Johnson or Joe Satriani, with the occasional vocal...

Jeff Song & Lowbrow - The Other Pocket

Cover art

With a line-up of flute, trumpet, cello, and rhythm section, this album delves unapologetically into free jazz and avant-garde experimentalism. Frenetic bebop energy mingles with mellow atonal...

John Greaves - Songs

Cover art

This is quite a different project for the former member of Slapp Happy, Henry Cow, and National Health: one of songwriter and arranger rather than bassist and vocalist (although he does contribute...

Jon Anderson - Change We Must, Angels Embrace, Toltec & The Promise Ring

Cover art

Not for Anderson the paralysis that plagues his parent group. After the Union project folded he must have realized that if he were to do anything creatively it would have to be by the seat...

Jon Rose - Shopping Live at Victo

Cover art

The bizarre performance captured on this disc seems to float somewhere between an intellectualized and a tongue-in-cheek parody of commercialism and consumerism gone awry. Accompanied by a barrage...

Korai Öröm - Korai Öröm

Cover art

This ten-piece ensemble from Hungary plays what could only be described as world-influenced psychedelic / space-rock, using keyboards, guitar, bass, flute, didgeridoo, drums, voices, and at least...

La Düsseldorf - La Düsseldorf

Cover art

What might Kraftwerk have become in the guise of a guitar-band instead of a synth band? The toe-tapping oddments of this first La Düsseldorf outing from 1976 just may give a clue....

Lady Lake - No Pictures

Cover art

Another Musea sublabel and a decent start. Lady Lake is a Dutch group which released its only album in the late 70s, one that has been bandied about with much enthusiasm amongst three-digit...

Macromassa - Um-Yu (Las Flores Amarillas También dan Entradas Nuevas a los Perros)

Cover art

Wasn't this Spanish group active back in the late 70s? It looks as if they may have broken up and subsequently reformed, because I haven't heard anything from them since their one LP...

Magic Mushroom Band - The Spaced Collection

Cover art

This CD is a solid best-of compilation of this space-rock outfit. Stylistically, this is not far from bands like Hawkwind (80s), Gong (Trilogy era), or like-minded but harder-edged bands like Here...

Melting Euphoria - Inside the Gardens of the Mind

Cover art

Bubbling, swirling analog synths and heavily effects-laden lead guitar drive this album of Spacious Mind-style psychedelic jam-rock. Like a lot of psych music, the musicians often get overly...

Melting Euphoria - Inside the Gardens of the Mind

Cover art

A new Melting Euphoria album? Some might say it's hard to tell 'em apart. Melting Euphoria plays a style of psychedelic rock straight from The Haight (if I could just find my old...

Michelle Young - Song of the Siren

Cover art

Song of the Siren is the first independent disk from this Nashville-based vocalist, pianist, and composer. Her vocal ability can be quickly compared to Kate Bush, circa Never...

Neo - Neo

Cover art

From the blistering intro to "Osibirsk" you know this is one to reckon with. Neo's sole album is a rock fusion of high intensity, feauturing lots of guitar and sax solos over a...
