“ROOM 101 is the fifth studio album of KARMAMOI . The album is inspired by George Orwell's ‘1984’. It revisits some of the novel’s themes and concepts, adapting them to the p

“Requiem For A Dream is the much anticipated new studio album from UK symphonic/progressive rock band Karnataka. Featuring eight stunning new songs, the lavishly produced new album also includes their most ambitious track to date, the 25 minute epic, ‘Requiem For A Dream’.
”The album explores themes of personal adversity, loss, despair and forgiveness, experienced through the prism of global chaos, climate change and environmental destruction.” says Ian & Sertari. ”A beautiful world slowly dying...

He is also known for his work on The Tear Garden with Skinny Puppy's cEvin Key. In 2017, he collaborated with Amanda Palmer on the album I Can Spin a Rainbow. In The Dots, he was initially known as D'Archangel, Prophet Q'Sepel and he used other pseudonyms as well. He has also released numerous solo albums (initially...

"First ever collaboration between Edward Ka-Spel (from The Legendary Pink Dots and Tear Garden) and Steven Stapleton (from Nurse With Wound). It's been years they both wanted to work together and Bisou Records made that happen when they offered them a side on this split LP. The other side is the first musical meeting of Colin "the master of drone" Potter and French sax player Quentin Rollet (The Red Krayola, Mendelson, Nurse With Wound, Prohibition, David Grubbs, Thierry Müller, Ilitch). That first take...

“Evocation of revolution by a musician with many influences (free jazz, progressive rock, contemporary music...) and surrounded by experienced peers.
Between resignation and social struggles, from melancholy to a shining hope, the music moves forward, like an unstoppable wave. Brilliant solo

Tristan Kasten Krause - double bass
Jessica Pavone - viola

"New York City-based Pavone and Kasten Krause met by being placed together in the ensembles of other like-minded music experimentalists. It wasn't long before they realized their unique sonic preferences, aesthetics, and approaches to their instruments were similarly aligned and worth further investigation. Over the course of two seasons, they explored and experimented with sound worlds and structures, resulting in the four pieces tha

Ryo Kawasaki - electric and acoustic guitars
Dave Liebman - tenor and soprano saxophones
Alex Blake - electric bass, percussion
Buddy Williams - drums, percussion

Ryo Kawasaki was one of the first Japanese jazz musicians to make a name in the USA, releasing a number of albums on RCA in the 70s and playing with heavy hitters of the day (I saw him in late spring 1975 at the Village Vanguard with Elvin Jones).
He was also known for helping to develop the guitar synthesizer.

Makoto Kawashima - alto sax

"Over the past decade, saxophonist Makoto Kawashima has consistently established himself as one of the most compelling improvisers in contemporary music. His unique approach to solo performance aligns him with the tradition of groundbreaking Japanese saxophonists like Kaoru Abe, Tamio Shiraishi, and Masayushi Urabe. Operating at the fringes of improvised music, Kawashima's artistry unveils a delicate essence, placing equal focus on silence and minute detail...

“Kayo Dot, the endlessly eclectic project, spearheaded by composer and producer Toby Driver, was formed in 2003 by the members of the legendary ethereal metal band, Maudlin of the Well, marking a giant-inspired evolutionary leap. Since then, Kayo Dot's muse has shown it's face through slow and massive cascades of guitars and violins, and soundscapes spanning from "Bitches Brew"-inspired tripped-out goth fusion to hyper-fast, angular and atonal suicidal black metal.
Kayo Dot's members and...

Kayo Dot used to be known as Maudlin of the Well, who were a avant-garde/classical leaning metal outfit. Wanting to move beyond that, they changed their name and direction and became Kayo Dot. This lists 10 musicians on guitars, cello, flute/clarinet/a...

“On their eleventh regular studio album, "Every Rock, Every Half-Truth under Reason", conceptual and experimental artists Kayo Dot commemorate the 20th anniversary of "Choirs of the Eye" by reuniting the original line-up. This bold musical statement from the ever-changing composer and mastermind Toby Driver marks both a return and a progression from the band's seminal debut by revisiting the compositional practices that defined it while pushing forward into uncharted territory.
Rejecting traditional..

"Kayo Dot has never made the same record twice. From chamber music to progressive black metal, from goth to jazz and avant-garde classical, Kayo Dot is undeniably experimental and utterly unclassifiable. Since it's inception in 2003, the band has released seven full-length albums, including their debut Choirs of the Eye (2003), the conceptual double-album Hubardo (2013) and most recently Coffins on Io (2014, The Flenser). On Plastic House on Base of Sky, Kayo Dot fully embraces Coffins on Io's electronic...

Kebkekaise's 1st album. This was recorded in 1971, features guitarist Kenny Hkansson plus a large number of other musicians. Unlike their other releases that I've heard, this is a ROCK record, with no trace of folk.

"When this album from 1971 is reissued and some of you hear it for the first time and others will hear it again after 30(!) years, there will be a lot of wide open ears. But did Kebnekajse really sound like this? Yes, Kebnekajse sounded like this -- also. On their first album -- with...

''Enigmatic'' noise-making musician/guitarist Haino is the man of the moment in certain circles. This is performed mostly on hand percussion & ''impassioned'' vocals. I dunno; I thought this was pretty much a big wank! [Tzadik]

“Hypnotic guitar playing swirls throughout this superbly melancholic folk rock LP, privately issued in ‘76 alongside Crooked Oaks debut.
Brilliant songs that edge towards Roy Harper. Dave Keir provides the sleeve notes. the LP is characterised by stunning, exquisite finger picked guitar of the highest order, the compositions are deep, dark and magical, infused with a sense of sorrow.”
