Seaorm are a quartet made up of 50% members of Vespero (on synths, bass and drums) and 50% members of October Equus (on keyboards and guitars).
Both of these bands are typically excellent and this is too!
It’s a very good spacey progressive rock / spacerock album. The best way to get a handle on it is to hear it!

Ángel Ontalva - guitar, loops
Ark Fedotov - bass, synths, sampler, drum machine, typewriter
Ivan Fedotov - drums

This is Spanish guitarist Angel Ontalva (October Equus, etc) playing with the rhythm section of his friends, the Russian space-rock band Vespero (who Angel often also plays with).
Spacey trio jams that also touch on jazz/rock, but that are closer in sound to Vespero than October Equus. Good stuff!

Second Direction were a German jazz/rock band who released their one and only album in Germany only in 1976 and which was released in Italy one year later.
At the time they recorded the album, their lineup was: Fritz Münzer (flute, soprano saxophone), Karl-Heinz Merkel (electric piano, strings), Gerhard Spirka (electric bass), Val Hargreaves (drums), Jörg Gebhardt (congas)
This album is quite rare and little known. Even less known was the fat that they recorded a second album in 1978 that lay...

“Secret People is a band. It began in 2012 as a duo of Brooklyn-based guitarist Dustin Carlson and drummer Kate Gentile, who not only played frequently, but lived together as roommates and worked in the same coffee shop for years. There were countless hours (literally hundreds) spent co-composing and rehearsing the music, but countless more discussing and listening to influences from.

“The debut album of Genova's IL SEGNO DEL COMANDO, 'The Sign of Command', was recently reissued by Black Widow. The album's conceptual inspiration -- as well as the band name -- derives from Giuseppe D'Agata's novel, and the Italian TV series (1971), that deals with occult matters, reincarnation and supernatural. The author himself called the album a perfect soundtrack to his novel. Before coming to my own reception of the music, I wish to cite the informative band page that describes the music so well...

"After their debut album brought very positive reviews from the critics, this is the second album from this up-and-coming German jazz group, led by bassist/composer Achim Seifert.

"The Portuguese trio The Selva likes to make musical references, to symbolize and to propose dubious significations. The debut album of the group starts with a piece full of indeterminate allusions to the Far-Eastern traditional music expressions. It goes on with a virtual journey through Renaissance times and its aesthetic values, seeming to invite us to care more for the beauty of life. Only in the third track we find...

Fifty years after the release of their classic ‘one and done’ Rock Progressivo Italiano release, Dedicato a Frazz, Semiramis returns with a new studio album.

Sensations Fix (also sometimes seen as Sensation's Fix and Sensations' Fix!) were early practitioners of the DIY approach, meaning that their home-recorded albums have a somewhat 'lo-fi' edge that actually is quite

Macrocosmosi is the second release by the Milan quartet Il Sentiero Di Taus, and it is produced by Fabio Zuffanti, who had the following to say about this release, “Il Sentiero di Taus evokes iridescent musical images that start from symphonic progressive and go so far to embrace ethnic music, psichedelic, hard-rock and much more. A true kaleidoscope of.
