"Mike's classic '90s Immune releases are now safely home at Exowax Recordings, the label co-owned by Mike and his manager Scott Chatfield. "This album is the sound of someone who can't believe he's finally being allowed to make a real live solo album...

This is subtitled: studio recordings 1998-2006: being a collection of unreleased things, rarities and allsorts from the last several years or so.

"Mike describes Wine And Pickles as "the album I didn't know I was making over the last ten years.".


Sometimes it seems that actual human feeling, conveyed through passionate musicianship and songwriting, is all but absent in popular music nowadays. Mike Keneally is thrilled to prove otherwise with his eighth album, Dancing. Mike has invited Beer For ...

“Eyvind Kang and Jessika Kenney are two are musicians who have established themselves as powerful voices working at a unique intersection of contemporary composition, improvisation, and Asian traditional music forms. Either individually or as a pair, they have worked in contexts ranging from performances of traditional Persian and Javanese music to collaborations with Sunn O))), but their work together as a duo most clearly represents the central concerns of their diverse practices: a music of the inner....

“A late night jam with the Lovin' Spoonful's Zal Yanofsky in 1967 would prove to be the big break for Toronto's Kensington Market.
As Nicholas Jennings tells it in Before the Gold Rush, his excellent chronicle of that city's Yorkville scene, "Knocked out by the band's sophisticated sound, Yanofsky went down to New York where he raved about them to Felix Pappalardi, already one of the hottest new record producers with the Youngbloods and Cream to his credit. Pappalardi flew up to Toronto in October...

Kenso have been making great progressive jazz/rock albums for 35 years. This fabulous 1985 release was the band's third album and their first that they didn't have to release themselves and which gained them a huge nod of attention in the progressive jazz/rock-starved world that was 1985!
This is a band with a catalog of excellent works, but this one is one of *the* ones to own if you don't have anything, so start here! Like most of their work from the 80s and 90s, it's been unavailable for a long...

Kenso have been making great progressive jazz/rock albums for 35 years. This 1992 release was the band's seventh album and their second live album and it's another killer, solid release of 50% jazz/rock and 50% symphonic rock.
Kenso are a band with a zillion live albums, but having seen them (lucky me!) I can kind of appreciate why they have done this, as they are absolutely monster's in a live setting. Like most of their work from the 80s and 90s, it's been unavailable for a long while...

Kenso have been making great progressive jazz/rock albums for 35 years. This 1986 release was the band's fourth album and their first-ever live album. Like most of their work from the 80s and 90s, it's been unavailable for a long while.
Now it's available again at a reasonable price, especially for a Japanese release, as a special blu-spec CD release!

Kenso have been making great progressive jazz/rock albums for 35 years. This 1989 release was the band's fifth album and it's another killer, solid release of 50% jazz/rock and 50% symphonic rock. Like most of their work from the 80s and 90s, it's been unavailable for a long while.
Now it's available again at a reasonable price, especially for a Japanese release, as a special blu-spec CD release!

Kenso have been making great progressive jazz/rock albums for 35 years. This 1991 release was the band's sixth album and it's another killer, solid release of 50% jazz/rock and 50% symphonic rock and shows them having matured completely into the band they basically remain sounding like to this day. Like most of their work from the 80s and 90s, it's been unavailable for a long while.
Now it's available again at a reasonable price, especially for a Japanese release, as a special blu-spec CD release!

“The follow up to last year’s The Last Harvest see’s this Canterbury scene inspired band gain a couple of new members (drummer James Hall and woodwind player Chris Egan). It was recorded over a 40 day period, where the band worked quickly and, according to the press release, discarded anything that didn’t fit. What you

"Recorded and released after a two-year stint in Europe, Until marks alto saxophonist Robin Kenyatta's American debut as a leader, after sideman tenures with Sonny Stitt, Bill Dixon, and Archie Shepp. For anyone (of the few) who followed the rather obscure reedman's career, this set -- originally released on the Atlantic jazz subsidiary Vortex and produced by Joel Dorn -- is indicative of the restless nature of Kenyatta's career on his own records: he was not only interested in, but attempted to play...

“Kerrs Pink is a band whose beginnings date back to 1973, the first album was released in 1980. With their album "Mystic Spirit" they showed all their power and recorded great material. There have been many lineup changes throughout the band's history but surprisingly nothing has changed since the last album. Eirikur Hauksson (vocals), who is otherwise active in Magic Pie, as well as Hans Jørgen Kvisler (guitar), Per Langsholt (bass), Glenn Fosser (Hammond, Minimoog, accordion), Lasse Johansen (piano...

“This is Mike Kershaw’s fifth solo album. Mike has worked with the same core team as before - Gareth Cole(guitar) and Leopold Blue-Sky (Garden of Live Flowers - bass), with the addition of Stefan Hepe (Gandalf's Fist) drumming throughout - to create an album much darker and angrier than its predecessors, tackling themes of anxiety, paranoia, fear, and manipulation. BEM design maestro Brian Mitchell lends his design talent to the cover.
James R Turner of BEM says: "I’ve loved Mike’s work for many...

"Chronicles from imaginary places is certainly the album of the artistic maturity of the Kerygmatic Project. It is a well-structured work, fresh and dynamic, in which there are three well-built suites , as well as some well-done pieces . The basic idea that unites the various compositions is that of travel in the artistic imagination. A time machine that allows you to travel between present, past and future, through everyday reality to that envisioned by creative imagination. Classicism and...

Kerygmatic Project was born in 1998, created by Samuele Tadini, Danilo Nobili and Marco Campagnolo, with the purpose of composing original music that recover in style and construction the great British progressive rock tradition of the seventies and eighties, renewed tradition with a new key able to embrace different styles, so as to constitute an original sound well recognizable. The Kerygmatic Project compositions are affected, in fact, from the contributions of various genres taken by rock, pop, jazz...

“Static is Dave Kerzner's follow-up studio solo album to his acclaimed debut New World. It's a progressive rock opera about the distractions, chaos and clutter in everyday life and about navigating past this static interference in our heads toward clarity and happiness. The album also features: Steve Hackett (Genesis), Fernando Perdomo (Jakob Dylan), Nick D'Virgilio (Big Big Train), Derek Cintron (Brothers of Others), Randy McStine (The Fringe), Matt Dorsey (Sound of Contact), Durga and Lorelei McBroom...

Kessler is known as a jazz pianist, but this mid 70's multi-keyboard extravaganza features Fender Rhodes, acoustic piano, Hohner clavinet and flutes. This progressive/fusion oriented work is a little reminiscent to me of Teddy Lasry's or Benoit Wideman...

“Newcastle-based Kestrel's sole album contains melodic, quite song-oriented prog featuring Mellotron, and it can be compared to the likes of SPRING, FANTASY or CRESSIDA, and actually for the benefit of Kestrel whose mature songs have more 'kick' as there are pretty good guitar contributions too. With one exception, the music is composed by the guitarist Dave Black. Perhaps the idea of a cross between the classic GENESIS and the '68-'72 era MOODY BLUES wouldn't be totally out of place? There aren't the...

“One of the best albums to buy these days in terms of Abstract Jazz.”-a buyer’s comment

"Ever growing interest motivated by originality and class Keszler’s latest solo venture offers up a latticework of melodic percussion, drum set, and electro-acoustic instrumentation, built upon fragments of American abstraction, ancient scales, industrial percussion, and jazz-age film noir to achieve its feeling of imperial decay. Keszler’s instrumental performances are framed by panoramic recordings of.....

The below is the best ‘description’ I could find of this percussion / laptop oriented album. It doesn’t tell you how good it is, so I’m telling you how good it is! CD and vinyl have completely different covers!

“For more than a decade, experimental percussionist and sound artist Eli Keszler has dismantled the idea of what a drum can be and how it should sound. He’s done this on enormous scales, turning Boston’s Cyclorama building and a Louisiana water tower into makeshift monolithic instruments...


“Excellent 1976 private press acoustic album, self-recorded at various places in Colorado, and filled with beautiful finger style acoustic guitar, plus some atonal bottleneck slide, string scrapes and drones (at times, very Ry Cooder / “Paris, Texas” about six years before that soundtrack existed). Although almost completely instrumental, what lyrics there are tend towards the dark and the satiric. The obvious points of comparison are John Fahey and Leo Kottke, although Scott Key certainly has his own...

“Sixteen choice garage/surf tracks from the Keymen, the premier band in the Las Cruces, NM area in the mid 1960’s. This collection amasses their earliest surf instrumentals — all previously unreleased — plus their hard to find single. Also included are the juiciest cuts from their 1968 live album, “The Keymen Live.” Energetic music, meant to be played loud.
1-8 recorded 1965, previously unissued; 9-10 released in 1967 as Goldust #5019; 11-12 previously unissued; 13-16 released in 1968 on The Keymen...
