"Referencing a vast diversity of modern music's most visionary pioneers – ranging from Soft Machine, Focus and Matching Mole, to the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis and Ornette Coleman (just to name a few) – this Jogjakarta, Indonesia band's music...

From Singapore, I\D is an improvising rock group influenced by Krautrock and other experimental/out space-rock bands. This is their first full-length release and on it, they have taken four hours of improvisations and have carefully edited/mixed...

Key duo from the Catalan folk scene, result of the union between Ia Clua (from '2+1') and Jordi Batiste (one of the leading forces of Mquina! together with Enric Herrera), after the Jordi's return from military service. Un Gran Da, the duo's first albu...

Like Deuter, Manuel Gottsching and some others, Iasos is one of the founding fathers of new age, but his music predates that movement and much of his best work came out before that movement hit full force in the 80s.

His music uses echoing...

Susie is one of the most indemand & fantastic drummers of the downtown scene. This features her in a variety of contexts, both solo and with an all-star group including Leo Smith, Chris Speed, Cooper Moore, John Lindberg, etc. ''Of Filipino descent, he...

Mini-lp sleeve reissue of the first album, from 1974, of this hard rock influenced Italian off-shoot of New Trolls.

Iceberg were the premier fusion outfit from Spain during the 1970's. They released five albums between 1975-1978, of which this 1978 release is their 5th and final. All good things come to an end, and the band went out on a high note; while I probably ...

Iceberg were the premier fusion outfit from Spain during the 1970's. They released five albums between 1975-1978, of which this 1978 release is the 4th. Pretty stunningly good instrumental fusion with dueling work from Joaquim "Max" Sunyer (aka Max Sun...

Iceberg were the premier fusion outfit from Spain during the 1970's. They released five albums between 1975-1978, of which this 1975 release is the first, and this is the first time it's been released on CD. Unlike their others, this features a quintet...

The 13 piece contemporary music ensemble Icebreaker tackle one of Philip's earliest and greatest pieces. Recorded live in excellent sound, (live is the only way to go with such a tranceful work; it just wouldn't come across with overdubbing, imo). In...

Duo of drums/vocals/etc. and sax/vocals/etc. Leo is the drummer of Doctor Nerve. "Joslyn and Ciesa are flexible, mischievous musicians. . . Blood is Red is bristling with gritty urban workouts, bare-bones avant-jazz, horns squeals and even some violin ...

"On a sunny day in June, Iconoclast wentinto the caverns of Water Music studios in Hoboken, NJ. Four days later they emerged haggard yet exhilarated with two new CDs. The Body Never Lies is the second of these daring new albums by this internationally ...

Their 17 pieces last 40 minutes and each is a perfectly sculpted rock vignette with as much structural integrity as any two-minute workout could need. Their hard-edged energy is nonstop, but, refreshingly, doesn't slide into ruts; it jumps, it turns c...

"I confess I’ve been a fan of Iconoclasta since their first album, circa 1983, and I’m proud these guys are still around. Along with Cast and Banda Elástica, Iconoclasta has survived all these years because of its talent and presence participating in...

Transmit is the second album from the Steve Lacy repertory band Ideal Bread. This quartet of expert improvisers is made up of four strong players, all considered notable up 'n' comers to watch on the modern jazz scene. Steve Lacy is considered one of...

"The rumbling continued. Matt slowly opened his eyes, then getting out of bed (hopefully remembering to put on some underwear) wandered into the common area of the loft. "What the !@#$%^&*() is that!" "Clara Nostra" Matt (his roommate and not his...

"It is a nice initiative to issue a double-CD with the art of sound. We've seen this from our French friends (François Bayle, Marc Favre, Pierre Henry and others), who aren't bashful about poetic sound sensualism-and here we are with a good American...

Very interesting Norwegian album that I am still wrapping my head around, but I think it may go from 'interesting' to 'excellent' by the time I am done absorbing it. I was turned onto the group by their flautist, Ketil Einarsen, who often is able to...

Ike Yard were one of a million underground, experimental post-punk bands that released some music in the early 1980s. I remember hearing and liking their early EP over 25 years ago, but I had basically forgotten all about them until this collection of...

I was bewildered after listening. Ilaiyarajja belongs to the 21st century, if not beyond.-Zubin Mehta. Well, to me, this just sounds like typical Indian 'filmi' music and nothing more. But I seem to be in the minority here. "The name Raaja is not yet a...
