"Saxophonist Florian Egli presents with his band 'Weird Beard' his debut on Intakt Records. Deeply rooted in the jazz tradition Weird Beard creates with stylistic openness an independent and characterful music in the undogmatic field of contemporary jazz. Everything Moves is a characterful album with a strong pulling power and manages to combine lyrical passages with the unpredictable."...

Active and releasing records for at least 25 years, Egoband are an Italian four piece who formerly had a number of releases on Mellow. This is their first new release in 16 years!
Their music is a cross between neo-prog and Rock Progressivo Italiano, with especially strong keyboards.

"It took seventeen long years to Egoband to complete this return. Substantial exponent of the movement Italian neo prog with assets of three albums in the first half of the ninety and convincing and...

“Psychedelic rock from NYC's No-Neck Blues Band commune. Egypt’s live shows from 98-99 were truly mind-blowing experiences that inspired this writer to start the Psycho-Path Records label to release their psychedelic music.
“How Many Pieces” album was recorded in the studio, in 1999. Four long tracks, Beefheart-meets-Sun Ra style.”

This one is a little odd as it's a modern jazz/rock trio with influences in the from the usual suspects (Tribal Tech, Michael Stern) in the rhythm section, but the guitarist sometimes leans more towards, say, Terje Rypdal than I would have expected (and yes, that’s a good thing). Fun stuff!

"Improvisation assumes a fresh experience, an unfamiliarity with what is to come, a disruption of expectations. How much more intense and disorienting the experience becomes in the music of Markus Eichenberger and Daniel Studer. Each one has an impressive résumé of musical adventures, but as a duo their music expresses special qualities and asks challenging questions. Suspended offers no customary structures, no consistent.

"Trumpeter Mathias Eick, in the first album released under his own name, focuses all the qualities that have made him a musician to be reckoned with in and around jazz of the last decade. The Door is distinguished by vaulting lyricism and clear-edged...

"Mathias Eick’s intensely melodic trumpet occupies the centre-stage in this album of self-penned tunes which will appeal to an audience beyond “jazz”. Against the powerful backdrops offered by his sleek, modern band, driven by two drummers, he delivers...

“Hammerschlag – created by FM Einheit (member of Einstürzende Neubauten early 1980’s to mid-1990’s), with Andreas Ammer – features many percussive industrial elements and ‘machine music’ (chains, scraping, coiled springs, objects), noise, experimental electronics and provocative musical compositions familiar to the ears of Neubauten fans.
An oratorio with prelude and two noise interludes, based on Russian futurist Aleksej Kapitonovič Gastev, the ‘bard of the machine age’.”

“Bloodletting, recorded, March 22th, 2019 at Firehouse 12 in New Haven, is a performance of a long form text score I wrote around late 2018. Unlike directive text scores that indicate through order or poetry what should be played (or evoked), my score is a block of text, written to be memorized and then performed using the nonlinear randomness of memory.The purpose of this form of text-score was to mimic, through memory and temporal distance, the way the eye dances on a page, selecting what it does...

“Improviser, composer and songwriter Wendy Eisenberg is a graduate of New England Conservatory and a founding member of the acclaimed band Birthing Hips. For her first Tzadik CD she is joined by the dynamic rhythm section of Trevor Dunn on bass and Ches Smith on drums and performs some of the nastiest guitar you’ve ever heard. The improvisations are powerful and intense and all styles and sounds are thrown into a cathartic blender as the trio channel an exciting new musical world. An outrageous project....

“On Parade in Parede” was recorded when Eisenstadt and company played a series of concerts at SMUP, an intimate venue in Parede, a beach town near Lisbon, during their spring 2016 Europe tour.

Originally started as a quartet and now playing in a compact trio formation and influenced by PINK FLOYD, MONSTER MAGNET and TOOL, the formation...

“Having spent several years as members of J.B. and the Bonnevilles, in 1969 singer Joe Cerisano and bassist David Coombs decided to strike out on their own. Within a matter of months they'd recruited drummer Joe Hartman and lead guitarist Tom Nicholas. As Elderberry Jak, the quartet hit the club circuit, attracting a cult following throughout West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
This West Virginia-based band released this rare rural rock record in 1970. It features fuzz guitar, heavy organ & a...

This is a strongly psychedelic work that is a collaboration between members of Elder and Kadavar.

This time, however, Kadaver is not doing it all alone. They have teamed up with Elder and joined forces. The result...

“The brand new 6th studio album of the celebrated formation with numerous new guests! The excitement was great when in 2017 "Terra Circus", a new studio album by the Electric Family, was released after a break of 10 years. The resounding success of the album also led to live concerts all over Germany. Even then, the band promised that it wouldn't be that long before the next studio album. Promise kept! After only three years, "Echoes Don't Lie", the 6th studio album by the Electric Family will be...

"The Electric Flag was one of the premiere rock bands of the 60s, with a line-up of legendary musicians. Led by the virtuoso Mike Bloomfield, the stellar lineup of musicians included Buddy Miles, Nick Gravenites, Barry Goldberg, Elvin Bishop.
These live performances were captured at the height of the band's power, in 1967 at the Whisky A Go-Go, LA and 1968 at the Carousel Ballroom, San Francisco. They burned brightly for two years and then egos ripped the group apart.

“How wonderful to have this top class artefact available again. The mighty Electric Prunes recorded, both aurally and visually, in Brighton back in 2002, three years after they reformed again in 1999. And if, like me initially, you worry that what you might get is a pale imitation of a once great band, please don't hesitate for a moment. The Prunes are in top class form. In truth it is like they were never away, and the old magic is still there, front and centre, just like in the halcyon days - or should...

This is a very good and very unique cross-over between electronica and new music by a live band of guitar/bass/drums, who on this one, add three trombones. Less techno than the hype indicates and totally in the pocket with many of our listeners.

I was just turned onto this 20 year old album when Henry Kaiser gave me the video for his latest monthly solo (what? You don't know about these?

“Following the publication, in just five years, of three records that have consecrated Ellesmere among the leading names in modern symphonic prog, the band led by multi-instrumentalist Roberto Vitelli knocks again on the door of progressive rock fans with a live double album recorded in 2019.
At the time "Wyrd", Ellesmere's third studio album, had not yet been released, and in fact "Livesmere" almost entirely gives live versions of the group’s first two discs, "Les Châteaux de la Loire" and...

The fourth release by Roberto Vitelli’s Ellesmere project and another good one.

“Stranger Skies” is the fourth recording chapter of the Ellesmere project by multi-instrumentalist Roberto Vitelli, musically and visually strongly linked to the previous “Wyrd” of 2021: from an iconographic point of view, in fact, the partnership with the famous illustrator Rodney Matthews, author of a wonderful cover painting that depicts two opposing worlds, a 'cold' one - linked to the first 4 songs of the album...
