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...

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 ...

“They really own this music, turning each tune inside out, never paying stale homage to Lacy but celebrating the multi-faceted nature of his music." – Signal to Noise

"The Ideal Bread lays down a serious marker for the posthumous evolution of Steve Lacy’s music." – Point of Departure

"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...
