“You have to love a happy accident.
And that’s how I discovered Italian progressive rock band La Bocca Della Verità and their 2023 album [Un]connected whilst believing I was clicking a link to another album on Bandcamp, and fell in love with the album almost instantly.
It seems fate is inexorable. [Un]connected is the RPI band’s sophomore album, arriving seven years after their 2016 debut release, Avenoth. Before that they spent many years sharpening their skills performing covers of classic...

This is a minor classic of later, early period electronic music (it’s from 1980) and is a very good one. It was released by Telefunken in 1980 and this is its first-ever reissue!!
Produced by Klaus Schulze, this is recommended!

“The electronic-musician Wolfgang Bock comes from the environment of Klaus Schulze and his debut "Cycles", released on vinyl in 1980, is strongly influenced by him.
The title track, which takes up the entire first side of the original vinyl edition, is still...

"A newly re-mastered edition of the 1969 recordings by Bodast, the short-lived band formed in late 1968 featuring STEVE HOWE (Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass), DAVE CURTIS (Bass, Vocals), BOBBY CLARKE (Drums) & CLIVE SKINNER (Vocals, Acoustic Guitar).
Originally known as Canto, the trio of Howe, Curtis and Clarke adopted the name Bodast (and abbreviation of their first names) after a few months. Later joined by Clive Skinner, the band recorded a series of songs at Trident studios in London...

"In jazz and improvisation, no two performances are alike. And if there's no recordings of a particularly good concert, only...

"“Bogan Ghost is Liz Allbee on trumpet and Anthea Caddy on cello and 'Zerfall' is one pleasant, totally absorbing surprise. "Surprise" if only because of my limited prior exposure to their music.
I happened to have heard them both as part of the Splitter Orchestra (and a subset or two thereof) last year at St. Merri in Paris but still, I wasn't quite prepared for the music encountered here.
I guess the main unexpected (and very welcome) aspect is the degree of concision in play and the fact that.

"After the breakup of Deep Purple in 1976, guitarist Tommy Bolin wasted little time beginning work on his second solo album, Private Eyes. While it was more of a conventional rock album than its predecessor, Teaser (which served primarily as a showcase for his guitar skills and contained several jazz/rock instrumentals), it was not as potent. The performances aren't as inspired as those on Teaser or even those on Bolin's lone album with Deep Purple, Come Taste the Band, although there a few highlights...

Formed in 1978, Bomis Prendin is a collective of experimental "noisicians" from Washington DC, pioneers within the DIY, Industrial, cassette culture, and experimental electronics scene.

At last the great albums by the great Bonzo Dog Band (formerly the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band) get a proper treatment here and this also includes 8 bonus tracks! Originally released 40 years ago in 1967, Gorilla was the band's debut and the only album to...

This is all five of the band's albums: Gorilla, The Doughnut In Granny's Greenhouse, Tadpoles, Keynsham and Let's Make Up And Be Friendly.
Essential, quintessentially British music and humor and a great outfit for their time.

This is the band's 3rd and 4th albums (Tadpoles and Keynsham) in their entirety. When I was about 17-19 I was a HUGE Bonzo Dog fan and just adored all their stuff; I'm not sure you can just jump in appreciate their stuff now almost 40 years later. Both...

"Over the course of three albums in nearly a decade's time, the Books have grown to become one of modern music's most genuine innovators. Creatively complex and truly unclassifiable, The Way Out continues the Books' tradition of meticulous...

The first Bootcut album. This is a side project by (the great) keyboardist of Beardfish, very much influenced by Bo Hansson, especially by Hansson and Carlsson, but also by Bo's solo stuff. Rikard Sjöblom plays keyboards (mostly Hammond B3 organ, but...

"It was [Byron Coley's "Underground" column in Spin] that I read about Borbetomagus, specifically their cassette-only release Live In Allentown. I don't have the magazine anymore, so I can't quote Coley's prose, but whatever he wrote about this sax-sax...

"First album release in years from the trio of Jim Sauter (saxophones), Don Dietrich (saxophones) and Donald Miller (guitar). For over 2 decades they have raised the mantle on intense improvisational sound parameters into one of the most unique sound....

"The New York group that embodies the notion of avant-garde music is debatably the true heir to the concept of the free jazz of Albert Ayler and Sonny Sharrock and the minimalism of La Monte Young and Tony Conrad alike. While never falling into either...

"Borbetomagus and Hijokaidan sharing the stage. Noise music fans are getting goosebumps reading those words. Others, well... others should be scared, very scared! Two monster proponents of noise aesthetics, representing two continents whose cultures...
