“Recorded in front of a smattering of people, the recording is as rough as the hairs on my chin, but it brings that touch of reality so much so that I could visualise myself as part of that audience. They are off, hungry dogs out of the trap, they are tenacious and they don’t let up, this is real power trio stuff and one by one they are knocking those songs right out of the park. It’s relentless. Hard blues rock at its best. Features the unusal lineup of Tony McPhee, Dave Anderson and Mick Jones.”-rym

"2009 archive release from the British Blues greats. In September 1976, The Groundhogs were a four piece adding second guitarist Ric Adams to bolster the sound and allow Tony McPhee more space to develop his amazing guitar runs. This Swedish gig was...

I never heard the Groundhogs back in their early 70s heyday, so it was with great pleasure that I recently got to hear these remastered versions of their classics and I have to report back that I wish that I had heard them then! Led by guitarist/singer...


"This concert recording is something of a miracle. Nothing suggested that this album or even the performance it documents—produced in extremis, in the middle of a global pandemic, with ever-changing public health orders—would see the light of day. A few weeks prior to the event, no-one knew if the concert would happen, nor did I know what we would be performing!
Really. Almost half of the program was composed four weeks before the show. From the outset, I knew that the set list would include the epic..

"If “mission creep” refers to a long-haul fatigue cited with increasingly regularity in the present political moment, DAVID GRUBBS imagines “creep mission” to be a talismanic utterance in the effort to turn this ship around. Creep Mission is an album of instrumental compositions with Grubbs’s effortlessly recombinant electric guitar at its core, and its m.o. is to go both deep and wide. The album goes deep in the sense that the guitar becomes the relentless, meditative focus of these songs without words...

“An übertrio drawn from distinct parts of the creative music spectrum, The Underflow was recorded during a sizzling two-night stand in May 2019.

"Gruppo Autonomo Suonatori started in 1997 from an idea by Claudio Barone, who previosly playing in a Le Orme tribute band in the early 70s named Trio Popâ. G.A.S. was born with the help of 70s musicians along with other young musicians.

"While time glides beneath Grydeland's fingers like a glacier dreaming of colder ages, Kaiser's guitar howls a song that cuts through bone and marrow. In the sun, the ice sparkles like a crystal palace, the danger of death disappears behind a fragile, plinking ringing sound that even begins to dance. Delicate on lace, not in clumsy boots. Followed by decelerated psychedelics in the jarring and flickering flow of iridescent freak waves, overwhelmed by the northern lights, whimpered darkly. Monotonous"...

"It is almost impossible to pigeonhole the legendary and unpredictable Gryphon, recently reformed nearly 40 years after a very successful spell throughout the 1970s, which included extensive touring in the States and Europe with Yes, Steeleye Span and Mahavishnu Orchestra. They even appeared on BBC Radios 1, 2, 3 and 4, all in the same week!

A British group originally influenced by Renaissance & English trad folk music, they moved from a unique krumhorn/bassoon filled folk/prog blend firmly into the progressive rock camp while still retaining elements of their earlier sound on this one.
I think that Red Queen is probably their greatest

“Taking the progressive experiments of Red Queen To Gryphon Three further, ReInvention is Gryphon's first new studio album for 41 years. CD in digipak. Crumhorn not included.”

Happily and shockingly darn great all-new album from the mighty (and mighty unique) Gryphon, who were last heard from on record over 40 years ago.
Featuring a mix of new and old personnel, this will not dissapoint fans, especially fans of their classic second release Midnight Mushrumps. Highly recommended!! ...

"In the CD era, the catalog of the pre-"Wheatfield Soul" Guess Who has been very hard to come by. This two-CD collection of rare and unreleased 1967-1968 recordings fills that gap well. A few of these songs appeared on non-LP Canadian and/or U.K. singles, like the devastating garage punkers 'It's My Pride’ and 'If You Don't Want Me'; the sappy 1967 ballad 'His Girl,' heard here in two versions, which was actually a minor...
