This album is one I’ve been waiting for for some time now. From the Bandcamp site of Wewantsounds, the kings of vinyl reissues in my estimation: “Wewantsounds is delighted to reissue Brigitte Fontaine’s landmark 1970 Saravah album Comme à la Radio, recorded with Areski Belkacem, Wadada Leo Smith and the Continue Reading

Roz Vitalis – Live at Garkundel 2024
Roz Vitalis is one of Russia’s best-known progressive rock bands. Their work has a King Crimson-esque feel, and even though this album was recorded live, the sound is clear and meaty.
Athak – Best Off Era 17 – 22
Athak is a group from Hong Kong that carries the spirit of the Zeuhl genre into the modern age. It’s perhaps quieter than Magma or Zao, but just as intricate.
Lord Fayrebank – Lord Fayrebank
Every Wednesday morning, I often discover new artists or bands I haven’t heard of before. This time, Lord Fayrebank appeared in my feed, and I decided to give their album a try. It’s an enchanting mix of 70s folk-rock, progressive music, psychedelic sounds, and even a hint of Brazilian influences.
Aether – III
This release comes from May, 2026, and I’m glad I took the time to hear it. Andrea Grumelli is the bassist for the band Aether, and he is joined by Andrea Ferrari on guitars & keyboards, Andrea Serino on Fender Rhodes & keyboards, and Matteo Ravelli on drums. From the Continue Reading
Adrian Belew – Three of a Perfect Pair (Acoustic)
You may not be able to see this on my blog, but it’s worth going to YouTube to see Adrian Belew interpret his King Crimson classic song.

From their Bandcamp site: “Body Wisdom is the second full length from Cloud Canyons, the electronic Italian quartet whose sonic research is renovated by an invigorating and adventurous record.

Stick Men – 20260403 Elkton Music Hall, Elkton, MD
Tony Levin and the side project of his I like the most have new live material available here, and it’s free. This is from a concert held in April of 2026, and the sound quality is excellent. The music is as wonderfully Crimson-esque as you would expect.
Can Live Series Continues with ‘Live In Arles 1975’
Because I will be taking a road trip today from Tsemi (where I met some of the most brilliant people I’ve had in a while) back home to Tbilisi, I won’t be able to do a proper review, so I will leave you with very pleasant news for Krautrock fans, Continue Reading
Can – Düsseldorf 10/4/1973
From Reiffenvatter Repress’ Bandcamp site: “While Can’s UK shows were widely recorded (10 of the 20 shows from the 1973 UK tour were recorded and are available in various corners of the internet) – their German dates during this period aren’t as well documented. There is only one live recording Continue Reading
