I saw these guys in a tiny DC-area club about 5 months ago. They play a wild, powerful form of power-trio out-rock. I really enjoyed their set and this is basically what I saw! These guys are jazz-trained, but rock-ready. If your taste runs towards...

“Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay. The saxophone and guitar heavy, ambient set captures the instrumental interplay and unique textural sounds for which Manzanera and Mackay have come to be known for.”

“During the UK’s 2020/2021 Covid Lockdowns I was working on songs with Tim Finn but I also had an urge to do some spontaneous instrumental music. I rang Andy Mackay and asked if he would be interested in working on an album together, he was, and thus the AM PM album was started. After...

“A rare opportunity to create the album arose during Chadbourne's 2022 visit to New York City. This led to a fortunate recording session where nothing was planned and everything was recorded without amps, making each listening experience as pristine as if it were the first time the album has ever been played through speakers. Maoz has long been a fan of Chadbourne, admiring his direct, no-consequences approach to creating sound. Eyal is experimenting here with a partly new set of pedals, while Eugene...

Elliott Sharp: Guitars, Electronics / Christian Marclay: Turntables

"The guitarist Elliott Sharp and the turntable player Christian Marclay met in a studio in New York and, during three days, developed unusual tonal worlds. The encounter of both.

This was the wonderful 1st album that launched this amazing musician's career. A brilliant musician, composer and arranger, the closest comparison I might be able to make is that Albert is the French Frank Zappa, except that that really doesn't do him or his original music justice.
This is a brilliant album, with great melodies, musical surprises galore, brilliant orchestration, & much more. Highly recommended.

In a 30 year career, this is only Albert's 8th album. I am probably the biggest fan of Marcoeur in North America, but I gotta say that I found this to be very subdued on the only 2 listenings I have been able to give it so far. His fans must have it i...

“André Marques is the keyboard player of Hermeto Pascoal & Grupo, but he also has several parallel projects and to celebrate the 25 years of his career, he put together a band with musicians of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, hence the name of the CD.
Here he explores his own compositions, based on Brazilian rhythms such as samba, frevo, toada and baião.
The all star band is made of Márcio Bahia (drums), Michael Pipoquinha (bass), Eduardo Neves (sax and flute), Jota P (sax and flute) and Beth Dau.

Prog? Punk? Who knows and who cares. Let's let the blowhards on the online boards fight that one out. The Mars Volta's second full album is an exciting, very unique and *very* well played mixture of punk, progressive rock, Led Zeppelin and much much more. Like their last one, it's a strange and pretty bleak concept album with expansive music and a bit more of the Led Zep sound. Impressive. And it even features a cover by Storm Thorgerson (aka Hipgnosis).
