"Guitarist John Abercrombie combines bop and free jazz stylistic elements with electronics utilizing phase shifters, guitar synthesizers and the good old volume pedal. What has kept his playing fresh is his refusal to be chained to these digital devices..

I saw these guys at ProgDay a couple of years ago and they were a hard-rocking band with modern prog-rock touches (ala Porcupine Tree). They definitely are a good band and they definitely have their fans, so why they were so passively received by the...

"When the Acid Mothers Gong band manifested in 2003, it was yet another story in the evolving history of Gong, which started in 1968 in Paris. Daevid Allen had returned there after being refused entry to the UK for visa reasons when on the way to the...

"In 2002, French filmmaker Audrey Ginestet accompanied Japanese rock group Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. on their US tour to shoot a documentary film. More than just a document of a band on tour, the film looks at differences in...

"Disc 1 tracks the band through the first decade from 1998 to 2007, through rare footage featuring guest appearances from members of Guru Guru, Afrirampo, Ruins and others. Disc 2 features a historic performance of La Novia featuring Occitan Queen of...

Great to see such an ambitious DVD project from a truly excellent but not so well known group. Their sound is sort of an odd combination of hyper-charged klezmer/polka performed with metallic ferocity and with a slightly sinister air ala Univers Zero's...

A DVD of a 2006 performance by Daevid and the UofE performing the repertoire they played so well on "Jet Propelled Photographs".

This is the current line-up of Ange performing what is one of their best and is one of their best-known releases, recorded live on November 8, 2003.

Anger is a infamous early experimental film maker, who is probably best known in rock circles for making the film Lucifer Rising which was SUPPOSED to feature a soundtrack by Jimmy Page, but the drug-riddled Page never actually delivered, so he had to...

Having seen these guys crank it out in front of a small-ish but extremely enthusiastic audience, I can tell you that they are the REAL THING!

A real surprise to see this 55' performance, recorded in Bremen, Germany in 1993 (and in quite high quality too). It consists of two compositions: Swim and Magic Sculptures Swipe The Air, Breathless. "With a mighty assist from the Deutschen...

I didn't know much about Gustavo until I saw a clip of a couple of tracks from this CD/DVD set, but he's an amazing, fluid jazz/rock guitarist with a great tone. He can be amazingly fleet, although the music isn't in the Allan Holdsworth style of superfas
