There she met up with drummer Richard Poole and bass player Gary Peacock in November 2014 for a session of creative improvisation.

This is the third album by this UK keyboardist and producer. On it, along with a bunch of impressive musical pals (Stu Hamm! Marco Minneman!) he steers equally between fusion and progressive rock.

"Keyboardist Benjamin Croft has assembled an incredible guest list of musicians for his latest release We Are Here To Help. Croft wastes no time as he comes out strong with the opening “We Are Here To Help”. When you have Stu Hamm, Greg Howe, and Marco Minneman you can’t lose. This one gets heavy, but...

“The second and final privately issued LP by this beautiful folk rock band , issued in 1977, this edition includes reproductions of the rare promotional inserts. Crooked Oaks music leans towards the Traditional end of folk but the haunting atmospherics, mystical flutes, and pervading air of melancholia create a magical sound somewhat akin to Silly Wizard.”

“This set has floated around in bootleg form for a while now, but this is the first "legitimate" release of this gig. It features Crosby -guitar/vocals, Jerry Garcia-guitar/vocals. Phil Lesh-bass, and (according to some Dead followers) either Hart or Kreutzmann on drums. The eight tracks are almost all fairly lengthy, giving the band (especially Garcia) a chance to really get into the music. The booklet has pieces of an interview from Rolling Stone from 1970.
Recorded before the release of Crosby's...

“2016 album by former King Crimson violinist and Mellotron player David Cross and Sean Quinn. Cold Sky Blue is a sonic melting pot taking in prog, ambient, synthpop and even a sprinkling of dubstep, which is simultaneously timeless and modern.
David and Sean were introduced by a mutual friend and after a lengthy phone conversation, pitched a couple of ideas at each other which became Skyline Vertical and Cold Sky Blue. They then agreed to expand the collaborative nature of the record and Beth Hirsch..

"Excellent CD. Sounds like King Crimson in the 1970s. David Cross' playing is strong and melodic. The band is fine-tuned, excellent sound. Covers of STARLESS and EXILES, Crimson classics, is excellent. The original material from David Cross Band is performed well, too."-David E Johnson

"Good album! It continues a line of the work we did together in 1973 that no-one else has quite followed."- Robert Fripp.

David Cross is, of course, the vioilinist who was with King Crimson during their greatest (imo) period. This is a band he's assembled with a vocalist (who doesn't sound "like" Wetton, but has a somewhat similar style and is a good singer), guitar, bass and drums, with himself on electric violins and keyboards. This is a very good and even really accessible album of adventurous...

"Renowned electric violinist from King Crimson, David Cross, presents this collection of studio recordings featuring a diverse array of styles and moods! Includes both instrumental tracks as well as vocal performances by guest singers Sonja Kraushofer of L'Ame Immortelle, Anne-Marie Hurst of Skeletal Family, acclaimed Israeli singer Ofra Haza, Christian Death vocalist Eva O and more!"

"David Cross was the violinist with the King Crimson band which created 'Larks' Tongues in Aspic' and Andrew Keeling is a contemporary composer and flautist. The two musicians collaborated on a series of improvisations, which has evolved into this beautiful collection of electric violin and flute duets, 'English Sun'. There is a common heritage at work here that goes far deeper than it's clear classical and rock components. This is new music by anybody's standard."

“David Cross is best known as a member of King Crimson on the “Larks’ Tongues in Aspic” and “Starless and Bible Black” albums. He also leads the David Cross Band and has been a guest artist, recording and performing live with a number of international groups including Stick Men.
Andrew Keeling is a composer and musician whose contemporary classical works have been internationally acclaimed. Besides working with David Cross he has also orchestrated the music of Robert Fripp (The Wine of Silence)...

"David Cross was a member of King Crimson during the 1970s and David Jackson was a member of Van der Graaf Generator. This new studio album also features Mick Paul on bass, Craig Blundell on drums and was produced by Jake Jackson. The 12 new tracks on this album showcase the talents of Cross & Jackson and will appeal to the fanbases of both artists and the bands they have been in. It's an innovative meeting of minds."

"As excellent as their debut is, that album proved the band needed lengthier compositions to allow the band to stretch out, and with Los Delirios del Mariscal, this band out of Argentina delivers just that. This time around, Anibal Kerpel purchased a Fender Rhodes electric piano, giving the band a bit more of a fusion slant than their previous offering. What little Deep Purple/Atomic Rooster influences had been thrown out the window...

Hose Horn, was introduced alongside other debut LPs from Jim O'Rourke and Frank Dommert on Dommert's Entenpfuhl label in 1991. Combining the cathartic sounds of industrial, early techno, and innovative pop with inspiration from acousmatic, New Music, and Dada, Schulz's music is a prime example of the Cologne experimental music scene of the time.
