It was in the early 2000s when the band Wicked Minds graced the stage all over Europe and the audience would applaud their powerful mix of hard and progressive rock. After fifteen years the G.O.L.E.M has now taken up, reinvented and expanded that path left behind, with a mystical fusion of psychedelia, hard rock, krautrock and.

"The Saarland band Gäa played German-language progressive rock. Their band name derives from the ancient Greek gods, where Gaia (Latin notation: Gäa) is the goddess of the earth and fertility. The group's only LP, Auf der Bahn zum Uranus, was a short...

A lot of the Agrentinian progressive rarities - at least the smallish number that I have heard - are really progressive hard rock albums, and this one is no different. Gabis is a hot guitarist playing pyscho-hard rock and etc. with lots of acid leads a...

"More than 20 years in the making, I/o is Peter Gabriel’s first album of new material since 2002’s Up.
Whispers and rumours have speculated about its musical direction, about its songs, and about what they have to say. Not that there haven’t been tastes of what’s in store over the past few months. Since January 2023, Peter has been releasing a new song from the album on the occasion of every full moon. Being revealed roughly every four weeks, each track has been allowed to find its own time and...

“A collection of Peter Gabriel songs from the movies. Having always loved the combination of film and music (aged 17 he gave up a place at film school to pursue a career in music) Peter Gabriel's first opportunity to really marry these twin interests came when he was asked to create the music for Alan Parker's film Birdy in 1985. Further film work, including his music for Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ (that became the album Passion) and the soundtrack to Philip Noyce's film Rabbit-Proof...

Gai Saber makes a peculiar musical and cultural operation that finds its departure point in the Occitan dances and the troubadours' words and combines these elements with today's influences like hip-hop, dub, drum 'n' bass, jungle. The result is an int...

"A reissue of Serge Gainsbourg's cult score for the 1968 French film Le Pacha. These tracks were composed by Serge Gainsbourg at the height of his '60s cool when he was briefly going out with Brigitte Bardot and the couple was on the verge of recording the infamous first version of "Je T'aime... Moi Non Plus" (1969). All the tracks here are arranged by famed arranger Michel Colombier, who had been responsible for some of Gainsbourg's best songs ("Bonnie & Clyde" and "Harley Davidson") and had also...

“This new expansive release brings together all of the 'Following Ghosts' related material and consists of a three CD package containing a completely new re-mix of the original 'Following Ghosts' album by Karl Groom, our engineer/producer of choice, together with 'Alternative Ghosts' which contains new alternative versions of every track from the original album, again engineered and mixed by Karl Groom and featuring Mark Spencer playing bass guitar on a Galahad album for the very first time.

“This latest opus, the band’s twelfth studio album, was recorded before, during and after the recent Covid emergency, and, as was the case with the previous album ‘The Last Great Adventurer’, was recorded at several locations over the last couple of years by the various band members and was finally edited, mixed and mastered, as usual, by our engineer/producer supreme Karl Groom (Threshold / Dragonforce / Pendragon / Arena / Yes etc.).

“Progressive Prog Rock at its very best! At last something good to come out of 2020! This is rock with "Prog" written all the way through.”-T.A. Rees

“Avalon Records is proud to present an unexpected 2020 album by Galahad off shoot project the Galahad Electric Company. During these strange Covid times in which we have found ourselves over the last few months it appears that Dean Baker and Stu Nicholson have tapped in to a rich vein of creativity resulting in a substantial collection of new music..

“Diamanda Galás In Concert is not simply a live album. With nothing but a piano and the full expressive range of her extraordinary voice, Diamanda Galás strips away the comforting patina of time, tradition and stylistic convention to expose and express the raw human emotion that is the living heart of a song. It explores an eclectic range of material; rembetika, soul, ranchera, country and free jazz, and her passionate eviscerations reveal their hidden kinship. Four of the songs-O Prósfigas, La Llorona...

“The first album in her Masque of the Red Death trilogy, The Divine Punishment is one of the most jarring works of art produced in response to the AIDS epidemic, and a milestone in Diamanda Galás's artistry and activism. Galás uses her famous voice both as an orational instrument and as well as a physical representation of AIDS and those it afflicts. The album features the panphonic* dirge work of Galás, accompanied by analogue synthesizers played by Dave Hunt. The texts are primarily taken from the Old...

"Italian jazz is a reality on its own, due to its caustic humor, the folkish way it uses melody, the liking for rhythm patterns, the cinematic perspectives and we could continue to bring arguments to the list. When bassist (every kind of bass, be it double bass, electric bass guitar, acoustic bass guitar, bass balalaika, whatever...

Thrilled to see this rather obscure and completely great 1971 electric jazz album get a reissue - and from Japan! - at a reasonable price; this has only been out once before on CD, a full decade ago and has long been unavailable in any format!
This is high energy..

"After a few seconds into Reaching For The Infinite, there can only be two reactions. First, seasoned listeners will feel satisfaction, while new ears will flood with intrigue. The album, the first disc of the sophomore five-CD set Amsterdam pianist Miha Gantar, kicks off a journey through several modes and lineages around the farthest reaches of the keys.
