" The debut solo album from the voice of The Autumn Ghost & Kaukasus. 'Sentiment' is a journey into the darker side of the soul, both musically & lyrically, and is by far the most personal statement that Marsh has produced. Sonically & texturally...

"On the last day of summer, Rhys Marsh And The Autumn Ghost return with their third full-length record, ‘The Blue Hour’, in which Marsh leads them into another bold sonic-territory. The trademark combination of dynamics & melancholy remains, though...

Marshall is a composer working somewhere between ambient & post-minimal musics. Alcatraz blends music with a nice booklet of photography of the infamous abandoned prison.

"A striking and colorful CD of chamber music by Billy Martin, the dynamic percussionist from one of the world’s most popular instrumental bands, Medeski Martin and Wood. Performed and recorded originally on a wide variety of African thumb pianos, these...

"Never underestimate the power of a sideman. Having talented, capable sidemen on board can mean the difference between a lackluster album and a creatively successful album -- and as a sideman, bassist Joe Martin has done his part to make a lot of...

This is a pretty great release that came out of nowhere. "A native of Mexico, where as a young man he encountered and became friends with American marverick Conlon Nancarrow, Ernesto Martinez has been sculpting remarkably original polyrhythmic composit...

Florentine guitarist Jacopo Martini fell in love with manouche music when, during a trip to France, he was introduced to the world of the gypsy guitarists with whom he played and studied gypsy guitar phrasing. In conjunction with group of trusted and ...

An unbelievable price on the hard to find Japanese version of this great album!

"Guitarist Pat Martino's second recording as a leader (which has been reissued on CD) finds him essentially playing advanced bop. His quintet (with Joe Farrell on tenor

Quite fantastic, late prime period John Martyn, in fine voice and with acoustic guitar and echoplex in tow, one year after his big release ‘One World’ and featuring a bunch of songs from that release, as well as other classics.

“John Martyn (born Iain David McGeachy on September 11, 1948 in New Malden, Surrey, died January 9, 2009 in Thomastown, County Kilkenny, Ireland) was an exceptional guitarist and accomplished singer/songwriter. He was "an electrifying guitarist and singer whose music...

Fantastic quality and performance archival release by the great John Martyn, recorded by Radio Bremen on September 17, 1975, when his current album was the also great Sunday's Child. This is a solo, mostly acoustic performance, although he does switch ...

Slightly post prime, but still very good.

"The bearded musician from the north of Britain had obviously consumed a substantial quantity of rum and cola before beginning the concert... and with the help of further drinks musical energy was released, which made the evening a complete success... two impressive hours of most intense music."-The Weser Courier, Bremen's largest daily newspaper

2005 remaster, with bonus tracks, research by Mark Powell and packaging by Phil Smee! John Martyn started his career as a fairly straight-forward folkie, but he very rapidly began to incorporate jazz influences and much more along with his acoustic and...

Seelie Court is a label filled with hype. You betcha. Having said this, this is a never-before released, very good vocal orented 1973 era progressive rock album. I don’t hear any Canterbury at all, but I hear the quality of this lost band. Vocals/keybords, sax/flute, guitar, bass and drums. Conditionally recommended.

“Sublime, Brilliant, Beautiful Progressive Art Rockers with a Canterbury vibe and masterful extended tracks, elements of Caravan, Soft Machine and Fuschia, recorded in a London...

''Zorn has again exquisitely arranged his popular and adventurous Masada project for string trio and chamber ensemble. The first disc of this outstanding 2CD set, 'Issachar,' features the Masada String Trio: Mark Feldman (violin), Erik Friedlander (cel...

This is a real suprise to see and the music inside actually lives up to the expectations I had for this! In the early 1980s, drummer Jean-Paul Prat released a excellent zeuhl album called "Masal”. It was little known and he basically faded away until recently.
This album features
Vincent Brizoux-saxophones
Steve Marsala-guitars
Jean Prat-drums
Jean-Paul Prat-piano
And Julien Sarazin or Jerome Trigon-bass
This is a more ‘rocking’ progressive rock work than his other recent

“30 seconds of acid and malmostous baritone sax, almost a guitar in a jungle of elephants, then a groove poised on the pulsating string, the electronics shifting volumes, weights, the bass as a stably unstable center of gravity to advance on the precipice, the drums to bring order to disorder, the voice to raise its head in this electric storm, to point its eyes towards a sun that will not arrive. by the Masche quintet is dark Invisible Cities The mood of this debut inspired by Calvino's .

The greatly awaited 3rd album by this extremely good Italian symphonic/progressive band is a live album. Therefore it isn't really a step forward, but more like a re-evalution and recapitulation of their work so far. "The Wax Mask" are a five piece who...

To my mind, La Maschera Di Cera are the very best of the classic style Italian symphonic/progressive rock bands out there and every one of their releases has been nothing less than excellent. For this, their fifth studio album, they've really pulled...

“La Maschera di Cera was founded in 2001 as a tribute to the sound of '70s Italian progressive rock, on the initiative of Fabio Zuffanti who gathered around him keyboardist Agostino Macor, drummer Marco Cavani (from his other band Finisterre), singer Alessandro Corvaglia and flutist Andrea Monetti.
After a self-titled debut (2002) that had been hailed as "the best Italian prog album since the Alphataurus era", the even more complex and ambitious "Il grande labirinto" followed just one year later...

“Originally released in 2002, The Language Of Cities was Maserati's second album - and their last before Jerry Fuchs joined the band.
Out-of-print and unavailable for over a decade, The Language Of Cities finally gets reissued on all formats to commemorate the band's 20th anniversary.
Remastered from the original master tapes by Josh Bonati, The Language Of Cities featured Maserati's original lineup of Coley Dennis, Matt Cherry, Steve Scarborough, and Phil Horan, and remains the most sprawling..

2013 release by this band who fuse post-rock, prog, classic, rock-oriented horror soundtracks, space-rock, disco and electronics. Think Zombi, Chrome Hoof, John Carpenter, Tangerine Dream! Good stuff. "When Jerry Fuchs joined Maserati in 2004, he initiated a complete overhaul of the group: old songs were dropped, tempos were drastically sped up, and the budding psych-rock impulses of guitarists Coley Dennis and Matt Cherry were given room to grow. Beginning with the electrifying Inventions For The New...
