Fourth and final release by the original 10cc featuring Lol Creme and Kevin Godley, who left after this to work on the gizmo and make a name for themselves writing really smart and smart-ass pop music that didn't sell until they became early video producers and doing fine work in that arena.

Classic, classy stuff that could never happen now.

Third release by the original 10cc featuring Lol Creme and Kevin Godley, who left not too long after this to work on the gizmo and make a name for themselves writing really smart and smart-ass pop music that didn't sell until they became early video producers and doing fine work in that arena.

Classic, classy stuff that could never happen now. Yes, it has their ubiquitous pop hit. It was an amazing work; Watch this and be amazed...

"For 30 years, in a small town 40 miles south of Cleveland, Ohio, The Numbers Band have kept the blues alive. Where the guardians of the form starved it of innovation, 15-60-75 nurtured abstract evolution. Where the priests of Budweiser Blues droned...



“25 YARD SCREAMER is a trio based in Wales, UK, and was founded by chance in 2002 when Nick JAMES (vocals, guitars) needed to get hold of some musicians for a showcase gig. Matt CLARKE (bass) and Donal OWEN (drums) were able to help out; and they hit it off so well that the creation of a band was called for.
From acoustic to electronic, from the familiar to the unforeseen, join the exploration and be a part of the voyage, exploring a musical territory that can be described as a mix of MARILLION, RUSH..

Second release (of 3) by this US psychedelic band. Spacious tracks with tons of great guitar and synth work which all ROCKS heavy and hard and trancey! If you love/loved Quantum Fantay, Hidria Spacefolk, Øresund Space Collective, Dasputnik, etc etc etc...

Very good (although not as great as hyped) Greek psychedelic album. Despite it being the middle 70's, I guess it might as well have been 8 years earlier, because this really captures a late 60's vibe... "The first ever official CD reissue of an album t...

A question which seens to be asked a little too often these days. 4 Walls is the mostly improvised quartet of Luc Ex-double bass (ex of The Ex), Phil Minton-vocals, Michael Vatcher-drums and Veryan Weston-piano. "It is extremely difficult to define the...

"There is life after DEATH after all—and just like you’ve heard, it hinges on accepting You-Know-Who as your lord and savior. 1980: it was the dawn of a new age. Built on the broken backs and bodies of those who had hoped and dreamed for a better world, the '80s made it clear: that world wasn’t coming. A generation and more plunged into the abyss. But what of Death? The HACKNEY brothers were no different from anybody else—in the heat and tumult of the 1970s, they’d seen that new world coming. They’d...

Dean Granros: guitar
Pat Keen: upright bass
Dave Power: drums

Here’s what I know: Guitarist Dean Granros ably stepped into Davey Williams’ shoes for the final Curlew album, Mercury, and filled a role that would have been nearly impossible for anyone, even someone great.
Like Davey, he’s firmly rooted in the blues, but he also is an improvising player who reaches far beyond those roots.

The second and final of the 'second wave' line-up of 5uus (basically Dave Kerman, Bob Drake and Sanjay Kumar + guests). This is considered by many people to be their best period and I would probably agree.

"Second installment from monster band 5UU's, featuring rock complexity, extraordinary production (by bassist and singer Bob Drake) and high energy precision mixed with eccentric song-writing. People that work this hard are becoming an endangered species. Extraordinary."-Chris Cutler

FINALLY, finally released on CD for the turntable-deprived!
75 Dollar Bill is the latest project by Rick Brown, formerly of V-Effect, Curlew, Fish & Roses, etc and Che Chen.
It's a really good band and a really good album; it's different from but absolutely in the same kind of league and sound as Horse Lords!

"Mr. Chen stood playing hypnotic guitar repetitions, moving with the stresses of the riffs, the drummer Rick Brown sat on a square wooden box, open in the back, and attacked....

Excellent AACM octet from Chicago that I had the great pleasure of seeing (after many years of wanting to) at Edgefest, 2006, and man they were fantastic. So, now they and this - their most recent although not new - album is here.

Personnel: Lydia Lunch, Pat Irwin, Michael Paumgardhen, Jim Sclavunos, George Scott III.
Lydia Lunch, member of defunct late-70s punk/no wave band Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, was known for an extreme, often confrontational style. In between Teenage Jesus and the beginning of her solo career, she formed 8-Eyed Spy, a band that took the cacophony of her first band and made it more palatable with elements of post-punk and funk.

“A newly re-mastered and expanded edition of the highly collectable and legendary 1972 self-titled album by 9:30 Fly.
Formed in Cheltenham in 1971, 9:30 were a highly original band who took in folk and progressive influences in their work. The line-up featured Michael Wainwright (vocals), Barbara Wainwright (vocals, keyboards), Lyn Oakey (guitar), Gary Charman (bass) and Mike Clark (drums).
Released on the Ember label in 1972, "9:30 Fly" is legendary for the originality of the music within and...

VIII Strada are an Italian quintet whose first album from 2008 fell somewhere between progressive rock and progressive metal.

But since that time, they replaced their keyboardist, retooled their over-all sound and are much more aligned with progressive rock, while still having a modern, heavy sound.
The band is:
Tito Vizzuso - vocals
Daniele Zigliani - guitars
Silvano Negrinelli - keyboards
Sergio Merlino - bass
Riccardo Preda - drums

"In December 2008 "La..
