Volaré - The Uncertainty Principle

Cover art

Progressive, anyone? This is the real thing. Last year's five-song demo tape certainly offered a lot of promise, but who would've thought that in less than a year the band could have come...

Volapük - Slang!

Cover art

One of the best surprises in the latest batch from Cuneiform, and a major step forward from their debut album is this second release by French chamber-rock band Volapük. The instrumentation of...

Various Artists - A Tribute to the Music and Works of Brian Eno

Cover art

Now here was an idea whose arrival was not a day too soon. Not only is Brian Eno artistically long overdue to be on the receiving end of homage, but what's more his music opens up possibilities...

Vangelis - 1492: Conquest of Paradise, Blade Runner, Voices & Oceanic

Cover art

I had almost left the Greek hero for dead following 1987's Direct, but five years hence Vangelis managed to rekindle the magic spark, and 1492 was the album to do it. A...

Tipographica - Floating Opera

Cover art

Thierry Zaboitzeff - Heartbeat - Concerto for Dance & Music Op. 1

Cover art

The de facto brain behind Art Zoyd since 1975, Thierry has now gone AWOL from that French institution, and seems to have spared nary a moment in rushing headlong into a solo career. Still, this...

The Third and the Mortal - In This Room

Cover art

This is the second album with Ann-Mari Edvardson on vocals. If you have been a fan for a while, In This Room may throw you a bit. If it does, get right back on. When you first hear...

Tangle Edge - Tarka
