Ángel Ontalva is a welcome site on this blog, and he has a new release to share with us. He continually surprises us by mixing a Rock-In-Opposition sound (think Samla Mammas Manna) and jazz-rock (maybe a touch of National Health). It’s unique, taking cues, of course, from some of his influences, but with guitar playing that sets it apart from other proggers. Another solid release by Ángel.

Julia Hülsmann is a pianist from Bonn, Germany who has recorded quite a few stellar albums for the legendary record label ECM. This particular song is a fine rendition of This Is Not America, originally performed by David Bowie and Pat Metheny as part of the soundtrack to the film The Falcon and The Snowman.
