''An historical band of Italian Folk revival, surely one of the best, Barban has developed a sound more and more personal and mature. In their recordings they have shown the richness and the beauty of the tradition of their homeland region, Lombardy, f...

Baraban, one of the top bands on the Italian folk scene, comes out with its 6th album. It's an intense and refined work which is destined to stir up emotions. No doubt this is the most mature work of the Milan-based group, sounding ancient and modern, ...

“This is Annie Barbazza’s first solo album. She is a rising star of the international avant / prog scene. She was on stage with Greg Lake and plays bass with Paul Roland Band. She performs with Henry Cow’s John Greaves as a duo and she already has an album on Manticore records, produced by Greg Lake, Moonchild, with pianist Max Repetti.
This album has a long history: Lake originally wanted Annie to played all the instruments, but the record slowly turned into an all-star friends collaboration for...

Second album by this very good Brooklyn world/weirdo/underground/hipster band. "Imagine Kurt Veill chewing sausages with the Residents underneath the Williamsburg Bridge while watching a Russian wedding dance and you have some approximation of Barbez, ...

Third album by this very good Brooklyn world/klezmer/ weirdo/underground/hipster band. "Insignificance is the result of two years of intensive work and the culmination of seven years of exploration and growth by this unusual and powerful Brooklyn-based...

“Caterina Barbieri is set to release Myuthafoo, the sister album of 2019's acclaimed Ecstatic Computation. Written at the same time, both albums are based on creative sequencing processes that playfully unravel Barbieri's deep-rooted interest in time, space, memory, and emotion. And since she was set to re-release Ecstatic Computation on her light-years imprint,it made sense to accompany that album with this intimately entangled set of unreleased recordings. Barbieri had been touring excessively at the....

"After two albums which established Barbieri as an important new voice on the saxophone, his 1971 appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival made him a star. This performance was captured on the album Pampero. It is semi-acoustic jazz at its most satisfying.
The Argentinian saxophonist pulled back slightly from free jazz and focused more on his roots, ably backed by Bernard Purdie on drums, Lonnie Liston Smith on keyboards and Nana Vasconcelos on percussion.
The set of four numbers all have South...

Gato Barbieri : Tenor Saxophone, Flute, Vocals
Roswell Rudd : Trombone
Lonnie Liston Smith : Piano
Charlie Haden : Double Bass
Beaver Harris : Drums

Christ what a band!
"This album has some of those magical cacophonous wall of noise moments, rather like what you get on Pharoah Sanders early Impulse recordings. Plus the bits that hold these cacophonous moments together are wonderfully rhythmic and melodic, so you find yourself in aural pleasure fest the whole time...

"Debut solo album from Japan and Porcupine Tree keyboard legend. Amazingly, considering his musical career has spanned four decades, this is Richard Barbieri’s debut solo album. This career has taken him from the seminal recordings he made with Japan...

Their fourth album from 1972 by this British group that came out of the English progressive movement of the 60's. Their music combines elements of The Moody Blues, to whom they are always compared, but also the more mellow parts of early King Crimson and Genesis. One of their greats from a great, under-heralded band.

“Released in November 1972, their fourth album was mainly recorded at Strawberry Studios in Stockport with the epic ‘Moonwater’ being recorded with a full orchestra at Abbey Road...

Originally released in September 1978, the album was another big selling release for the band achieving Silver disc status in the UK and Gold in Germany.
The album struck a chord with the record buying public thanks to tracks such as ‘Berlin’, ‘In Search of England’, ‘Nova Lepidoptera’ and more, and its popularity continues to...

"Prior to Peter Bardens joining Andrew Latimer, Andy Ward and Doug Ferguson to form Camel, he had recorded a single in 1969 with his band Village (also featuring Bill Porter on drums and future Elvis Costello & The Attractions’ member Bruce Thomas on bass) for the short-lived Head Records label.
In 1970 Bardens signed to Transatlantic and recorded his debut solo album ‘The Answer’ featuring Bruce Thomas, guitarist Andy Gee and Reg Isadore on drums, plus an uncredited Peter Green guesting on guitar...

"Brand new album from Philadelphia’s much loved neo-space rock stoner drone outfit. A euphoric transcendental journey to a mountain top nirvana, a psychedelic tapestry that slowly unwinds as they travel onwards into the inner mind. A 40-minute opus delivered from a hail of reverb soulfully caressed by a ceremonial flute, that makes way for a shroud of ‘Weld’—era Neil Young fog. Bardo Pond is your rather ruffled tour guide to this far off place, this....

"CD version housed in a digipak following the immediate sell out of the LP version. Full-length collaboration between Ellen Fullman, Theresa Wong, and Barn Owl produced by The Norman Conquest. Barn Owl's extended drones and Theresa and...

Arrigo Barnabe is a Brazilian bandleader and composer who released 3-4 real classic out-rock albums in the 1980s that were comparable in some ways to Albert Marcoeur's first four. They were reissued on CD a few years ago, but are now long out of print...

“Matteo Uggeri is one exceptionally active and creative sound artist, working under various monikers, founder member of Sparkle in Grey musical collective and newly the originator of this project titled Barnacles. Air Skin Digger is the second Barnacles studio album, the first offering has been reviewed on Igloo. Loyal to its sound signature, the project delivers here an intriguing, personal and creative musical dialogue between sustained organic textures, post-rocking drone ambient, processed cinematic...

“Alberto Molesini, aka Baro (with Baro Prog-Jets), is back. Bassist, singer and multi-instrumentalist from Verona (Italy) who shared his journey with La Sintesi, Elam/Baxnug from Milan, Hydra and Marygold. His musical story in progressive rock area is now 40+ years old, however his first two works - so-called prog-jets - dating back to the 80s were published for the first time only in 2019. Now the story is about to be enriched by a new chapter, a concept (not by chance) named "Utopie", which tells of....

“Sam Cooke’s ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’ is right in Frisell’s wheelhouse as a soulful blend of country, blues and gospel, and he delivers jagged electric phrases that, like fireworks, sometimes end abruptly with a starburst and sometimes zigzag before fading. John McLaughlin’s ‘Follow Your Heart’ is likewise refried and slowly wrung out after sizzling. Baron comes to the fore on fleet but gentler tracks such as Benny Goodman’s ‘Benny’s Bugle,’ Charlie Parker’s ‘My Little Suede Shoes’ and a nifty soft-shoe...

"Let me start by how it presents itself to you, a solo recital of totally improvised music: the paradoxical music format that stands somewhere between the ultimate display of intimate frailty on the one hand, and unbounded, ephemeral experimentation on the other, yet which often ends up being the superlative affirmation of an artist. However, it gets even more particular, as this wasn’t merely a solo recital of totally improvised music. It’s one that happened at a world...

“Another solid effort from Martin Barre, the guitarist from Jethro Tull.
Twelve original tracks in the vein of Mr. Barre's earlier albums such as "Away with Words" and "Order of Play".

One cover of the Beatles' Eleanor Rigby.”
