Stips - Egotrip

Cover art

Originally I thought this album was a throwaway, but a shrewd scheme unfolds after a few passes through the disc. You see, it's interesting how far people stray (or evolve) from seventies roots...

Surge - For the Time Being

Cover art

Teru's Symphonia - Do Androids Dream of Electric Camel

The Dark Aether Project - The Dark Aether Project

Cover art

Dark is right, but not in a conventional sense. This trio of Stick, guitars, and drums plays a very direct and oft-times sparse music that seems to be vaguely under the influence of 80s King...

The Enid - White Goddess

Cover art

The Enid’s unique brand of impressionist symphonics, coming off more like an orchestra than a rock band, has been the pillar of their sound for well over twenty years now, and it’s one...

The Reptile Palace Orchestra - Hwy X

Cover art

An unusual fusion of musics from across a wide variety of influences, The Reptile Palace Orchestra seem an anomaly for an American band. They draw their repertoire of melodies and stylisms from...

Cleopatra keeps churning out these space compilations — they are getting a lot of mileage out of their acts and property. Area 51 features all the same bands you've seen the...

Virgil Moorefield - The Temperature in Hell Is over Three Thousand Degrees

Cover art

Forget that you ever heard of Virgil's last Cuneiform outing Distracions on the Way to the King's Party, because this album simply has nothing to do with that whatsoever. Virgil is...

White Willow - Ex Tenebris

Cover art

Yes - Something's Coming & Beyond and Before - BBC Recordings 1969-1970

Cover art
