“Kerrs Pink is a band whose beginnings date back to 1973, the first album was released in 1980. With their album "Mystic Spirit" they showed all their power and recorded great material. There have been many lineup changes throughout the band's history but surprisingly nothing has changed since the last album. Eirikur Hauksson (vocals), who is otherwise active in Magic Pie, as well as Hans Jørgen Kvisler (guitar), Per Langsholt (bass), Glenn Fosser (Hammond, Minimoog, accordion), Lasse Johansen (piano...

“This is Mike Kershaw’s fifth solo album. Mike has worked with the same core team as before - Gareth Cole(guitar) and Leopold Blue-Sky (Garden of Live Flowers - bass), with the addition of Stefan Hepe (Gandalf's Fist) drumming throughout - to create an album much darker and angrier than its predecessors, tackling themes of anxiety, paranoia, fear, and manipulation. BEM design maestro Brian Mitchell lends his design talent to the cover.
James R Turner of BEM says: "I’ve loved Mike’s work for many...

"Chronicles from imaginary places is certainly the album of the artistic maturity of the Kerygmatic Project. It is a well-structured work, fresh and dynamic, in which there are three well-built suites , as well as some well-done pieces . The basic idea that unites the various compositions is that of travel in the artistic imagination. A time machine that allows you to travel between present, past and future, through everyday reality to that envisioned by creative imagination. Classicism and...

Kerygmatic Project was born in 1998, created by Samuele Tadini, Danilo Nobili and Marco Campagnolo, with the purpose of composing original music that recover in style and construction the great British progressive rock tradition of the seventies and eighties, renewed tradition with a new key able to embrace different styles, so as to constitute an original sound well recognizable. The Kerygmatic Project compositions are affected, in fact, from the contributions of various genres taken by rock, pop, jazz...

“Static is Dave Kerzner's follow-up studio solo album to his acclaimed debut New World. It's a progressive rock opera about the distractions, chaos and clutter in everyday life and about navigating past this static interference in our heads toward clarity and happiness. The album also features: Steve Hackett (Genesis), Fernando Perdomo (Jakob Dylan), Nick D'Virgilio (Big Big Train), Derek Cintron (Brothers of Others), Randy McStine (The Fringe), Matt Dorsey (Sound of Contact), Durga and Lorelei McBroom...

Kessler is known as a jazz pianist, but this mid 70's multi-keyboard extravaganza features Fender Rhodes, acoustic piano, Hohner clavinet and flutes. This progressive/fusion oriented work is a little reminiscent to me of Teddy Lasry's or Benoit Wideman...

“Newcastle-based Kestrel's sole album contains melodic, quite song-oriented prog featuring Mellotron, and it can be compared to the likes of SPRING, FANTASY or CRESSIDA, and actually for the benefit of Kestrel whose mature songs have more 'kick' as there are pretty good guitar contributions too. With one exception, the music is composed by the guitarist Dave Black. Perhaps the idea of a cross between the classic GENESIS and the '68-'72 era MOODY BLUES wouldn't be totally out of place? There aren't the...

“One of the best albums to buy these days in terms of Abstract Jazz.”-a buyer’s comment

"Ever growing interest motivated by originality and class Keszler’s latest solo venture offers up a latticework of melodic percussion, drum set, and electro-acoustic instrumentation, built upon fragments of American abstraction, ancient scales, industrial percussion, and jazz-age film noir to achieve its feeling of imperial decay. Keszler’s instrumental performances are framed by panoramic recordings of.....

The below is the best ‘description’ I could find of this percussion / laptop oriented album. It doesn’t tell you how good it is, so I’m telling you how good it is! CD and vinyl have completely different covers!

“For more than a decade, experimental percussionist and sound artist Eli Keszler has dismantled the idea of what a drum can be and how it should sound. He’s done this on enormous scales, turning Boston’s Cyclorama building and a Louisiana water tower into makeshift monolithic instruments...

“Excellent 1976 private press acoustic album, self-recorded at various places in Colorado, and filled with beautiful finger style acoustic guitar, plus some atonal bottleneck slide, string scrapes and drones (at times, very Ry Cooder / “Paris, Texas” about six years before that soundtrack existed). Although almost completely instrumental, what lyrics there are tend towards the dark and the satiric. The obvious points of comparison are John Fahey and Leo Kottke, although Scott Key certainly has his own...

“Sixteen choice garage/surf tracks from the Keymen, the premier band in the Las Cruces, NM area in the mid 1960’s. This collection amasses their earliest surf instrumentals — all previously unreleased — plus their hard to find single. Also included are the juiciest cuts from their 1968 live album, “The Keymen Live.” Energetic music, meant to be played loud.
1-8 recorded 1965, previously unissued; 9-10 released in 1967 as Goldust #5019; 11-12 previously unissued; 13-16 released in 1968 on The Keymen...

"London-based multi-instrumentalist and one of Europe's finest saxophonists Sean Khan ventures to Rio de Janeiro to collaborate with iconic Brazilian polymath Hermeto Pascoal. Taking its title from the escaped slave settlement "Palmares" in the Northeast of Brazil during the 1600s, Palmares Fantasy is Khan's utopian jazz message for the world, and it features Azymuth drummer Ivan "Mamao" Conti, bassist Paulo Russo, guitarist Jim Mullen, and guest vocals from Brazilian chanteuse Sabrina Malheiros, and...

“The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble formed in 2000 as a project to compose new music for existing silent movies. Jason Köhnen and Gideon Kiers, both graduates of the Utrecht School of Arts, combined their audio and visual skills to reinterpret classic movies by F.W. Murnau (Nosferatu) and F. Lang (Metropolis).

“CIRKUS - originally issued in 1999 as a 30th anniversary celebration of the group's live output 0 offers an effective introduction to Crimson as a touring outfit. From the Fillmore West in San Francisco in 1969, via the Concertbouw Amsterdam in 1973, to the Spectrum Montreal in 1984. And on to Nakano Sun Plaza Tokyo in 1995, all eras of Crimson are represented and a variety of the band's most enduring music is featured. Crimson live has always been a very different beast in the concert hall compared to...

Stephen Wilson mixed edition of the 1st album by the 80s comeback album by this seminal group, which blew a lot of minds back then. There isn't so much extra on the CD itself (some alternate mixes).

Additionally there's the preliminary rough mixes of the album in the original order and three tracks video tracks filmed for the BBC's OGWT (too bad they couldn't get the two pieces they performed on "Fridays" - I...

(In)famous, bootleg-quality, originally import-only live CD by the 'Islands' version of King Crimson, recorded live in the USA, just before the band collapsed in February and March, 1972.

Note: This is my personal opinion: Not even Robert Fripp can polish the sonic turd that is Earthbound and make it sound 'good'. Still, the Summit Studios stuff is quite good quality and there are bonus tracks which are better than most of what was originally on the album.
