From the Far Out Records Bandcamp site: “At seventy-eight, Joyce Moreno continues to write with the same curiosity, generosity and quiet innovation that have defined her career from the very beginning. “For me, it’s never too soon to try something new, either in music or in life,” she reflects – Continue Reading
Azymuth – Woodland Warrior
The Brazilian band Azymuth was not just the coolest fusion band in Brazil. They could hold their own with anyone anywhere in the world. They were truly brilliant performers, and this particular record, not a popular one by any means, is a hidden treasure worth digging up just for the Continue Reading
S.O.S. [John Surman, Mike Osborne, Alan Skidmore] – Looking For The Next One
Last week, Cuneiform Records offered one of their half-price releases, and this recent one was a free jazz diamond in the rough. S.O.S. featured John Surman, Mike Osbourse, and Alan Skidmore, all masters of British improvisational music, and the record shows them at their peak.
Misha Panfilov & Leonid Galaganov – Kÿllār / Kålt
Misha Panfilov’s work is usually associated with funk and groove, but on this release, he pairs up with Leonid Galaganov for a Krautrock/motorik-inspired pair of tunes.
Fatal Casualties – Guest EP II
Fatal Casualties is an electronic body music (EBM)-style band out of Sweden. They are actually one of the much better bands working in the genre, offering something rather subdued, yet retaining that old EBM sound which will appeal to fans of Front 242 and the Cassandra Complex.
Michael Gibbs & the NDR Bigband – In My View
From the Cuneiform Records Bandcamp site: “Gibbs’ intermittent relationship with Germany’s NDR Bigband, one the world’s longest-running jazz ensembles, dates back to the early 1970s and has provided a particularly valuable vehicle for his vivid musical imagination. “I feel I know the individual players so well, that I write for Continue Reading
Cousin Silas & Oystein Q Jorgensen – Symbiotic
Though this isn’t the first time Cousin Silas and Øystein Q. Jørgensen have collaborated on an album, this one stands out for bringing together Tangerine Dream-like ambience with a touch of The Orb. It’s an impressive one-track work.
Orchestra Baobab – Made In Senegal
Perhaps the greatest band West Africa has ever produced has a new album coming out on October 23, 2026. Orchestra Baobab has a storied 50-year history blending all the styles native to Senegal and other parts of West Africa along with rhumba, jazz, and even bits of funk here and Continue Reading
Earth, Wind & Fire – September
There will be no reviews today due to a full school schedule, so for now, I leave you with the Earth, Wind & Fire classic, September, even if I missed the 21st by two days.
Edward Ka-Spel – Eyes China Doll
Legendary Pink Dots frontman Edward Ka-Spel has a catalog of music so vast that I don’t think anyone has managed to track all the releases yet. This is one of his solo efforts: a weird, psychedelic experiments that borders on post-industrial music, Krautrock, psychedelic rock, and apocalyptic folk.
