“This fusion of Danish and Swedish musicians recorded an album of progressive folk-rock at the legendary Silence studio. Complex songwriting, sparkling Hammond organ, fuzz guitar leads and some creative use of traditional instruments (fiddle, flute, hurdy gurdy) makes this album a must-have.
Featuring among others Aron from ARON, Anders Groen from Baby Woodrose and Tobias Petterson from SKL, hugely influenced by the likes of old Scandinavian progressive Kebnekajse, Alrune Rod and Arbete & Fritid...

There is no shortage of great music out there. The situation for musicians gets worse and worse; less CDs can be sold, less places to play, less money to the musicians and yet...the music perseveres! This is hammered home to me this week by this great Fre

“After twenty years of Kammerflimmer Kollektief, with ten albums thus far, the Karlsruhe combo here guide their listeners through seven pieces in which a listening space emerges at the intersection of improvisation and composition, a space where certitude slips out of reach, oscillating furiously between cut-up and palimpsest before it disappears altogether. There Are Actions Which We Have Neglected And Which Never Cease To Call Us is one for the fearless, wordlessly conjuring up enchanted places in the...

This Hungarian band was formed in 1984, and this is their fifth release. Led by guitarist Csaba Hajnoczy & featuring vocalist/violinist Gabi Kenderesi (both of whom also make up 1/2 of The Danubians), the band also includes soprano sax, bass & drums. '...

“Kanaan from Oslo, Norway is back with their second album in 2020. Following the impromptu Odense Sessions with Causa Sui guitarist Jonas Munk released, Double Sun is a different beast all together: Treading the same path as their 2018 debut Windborne, Double Sun is a studio effort in the best sense of the word. Perfectly balanced on the edge of dynamic improv, throbbing beats sizzled in scorching fuzz and topped off with deeply layered soundscapes. This album sees Kanaan reach a new plateau. Kanaan...

"As the engines get revved up and ready to go, you get a sense of a hypnotic journey that’ll ruffle your feathers that Norway has unleashed. With Kanaan, it becomes a stick of dynamite that’s ready to erupt. Five years later, they have brought in that heavy equipment on their latest album, Downpour.
Following up to their Earthbound release, Downpour is quite the trip that Strøm, Vassbø, and Myrvoll, give a furious, brutal, and spared out attack, unfolding in front of your eyes. And having Hedvig...

Really wonderful to see a fourth release from this unique 'jazz' trio who are as much about electronic musics as they are about jazz, but their jazz backgrounds give them a unique slant on everything. Really great stuff once again!

“Always Never the Same... is the first strong album of the Kansas '90s comeback. Largely recorded at Abbey Road, with large portions of the album featuring strings by the London Symphony Orchestra, the record mainly consists of older material given new, sweeping symphonic treatments. These songs don't necessarily sound fresh, but they do sound revitalized, and the group's three new songs -- "The Sky is Falling," "In Your Eyes," "Need to Know" -- fit well into the group's repertoire, as does their...

The first album by Kansas, originally released in 1974. Their unique blend of pure, complex progressive rock and American-style hard rock/bar rock was very identifiable as theirs in 1974, and it still is. This is newly remastered with new liner notes &...

"For any art rock band, the fourth album means it's time for a self-styled masterpiece -- if you need proof, look at Selling England by the Pound or Fragile.
So, with Kansas, the most determinedly arty of all American art rock bands, they composed and recorded Leftoverture, an impenetrable conundrum of significance that's capped off by nothing less than a five-part suite, appropriately titled "Magnum Opus," and featuring such promising movement titles as "Father Padilla Meets the Perfect Gnat" and...

"With a legendary career spanning more than four decades, KANSAS has firmly established itself as one of America’s iconic of classic rock bands. This “garage band” from Topeka released their debut album in 1974 after being discovered by Wally Gold, who worked for Don Kirshner, and have gone on to sell more than 30 million albums worldwide. KANSAS has produced eight gold albums, three sextuple-Platinum albums (Leftoverture, Point of Know Return, Best of KANSAS), one platinum live album (Two for the Show)...

"The third album by Kansas, was originally released in 1975, along with their second, Song For America. This is one of their most progressive rock albums and also features pretty dark lyrical content. Their unique blend of pure, complex progressive....

This was the band's last 70s album and contains the classic line-up of the group, not for the last time, but one of the last times.


“The brilliant 2000 studio album from prog rock legends Kansas. This was the final Kansas to feature longtime vocalist Steve Walsh before his departure and the final album to feature iconic Kansas violinist Robby Steinhardt before his death in 2021. Widely hailed as a return to form, this album harkens back to the band's 1970s heyday!”

The second album by Kansas, originally released in 1975. This is probably their most 'progressive rock album', with the long Incomudro (also found on the Proto-Kaw album) one of the highlights. Their unique blend of pure, complex progressive rock and A...

This is the deluxe edition of Kansas' 15th studio album (also their first new studio album in 16 (!!) years), which includes 2 tracks not on the standard edition (two American standards 'recorded in the Kansas musical tradition')

It also features the family of San Francisco Bay Area musicians, including David Crosby, Graham Nash, Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead, and other current members of Jefferson Airplane and future members of Jefferson Starship.

“Three albums in and Kaprekar’s Constant present The Murder Wall, a 75-minute plus magnum opus about historic efforts to climb the “unscalable” Eiger (Ogre) Mountain. Now, you might think this is an odd subject to write and sing about - and, to be honest it is (however, fellow prog-rockers Pendragon did release the LP Men Who Climb Mountains in 2014) - but KC aren’t afraid to tackle “big” subjects (apologies for the pun) and have produced another widescreen, cinematic, no-holds-barred masterpiece which...

"Commissioned by Experimental Sound Studio in 2000 to create a radio work for the Outer Ear Festival, Kapsalis and Corbett returned to their investigation of film noir and pulp fiction, creating a half-hour work of non-narrative radio theater featuring music and text collage, as well as Kapsalis on violin and Corbett on analog synthesizer.

Some of you were lucky enough to hear Karaba’s vinyl-only release ‘Live in Vienna’, which was a powerful and excellent instrumental prog-jazz/rock album.
Well that one is their third release. This is the group’s second and it’s another really good one, combining Krautrock, jazz/rock and Canterbury stylings. And this one is on CD AND vinyl!

“I`m very pleased with the album. It has some “best moments” from Rick Wakeman, Camel, Happy the Man, ELP, King Crimson - it`s like a magical fusion of the music i like and want to hear as a listener. Pure symphonic art rock with jazz rock touches.”-Antony Kalugin
As a cherry on top, Mr. Colin Bass of Camel fame is featured on one of the tracks.”

“Caerllysi Music and Antony Kalugin are proud to release the new album from Karfagen. Fantastic and, at some point, a must have addition to the 2 main "Messages" Cds. (2017, 2024).
It has 49+ minutes of main material (absolutely new previously unreleased, bonuses, working sessions, alternative versions) plus 13+ mins of Karfagen / Sunchild guitarist Max Velychko music! (exclusively on physical CD) (63:00 in total). Limited edition of 500 units.”
