Gavin Harrison: Hatesong / Halo

Read "Gavin Harrison: Hatesong / Halo" reviewed by Geno Thackara


Folks who know the name Gavin Harrison know that it's synonymous with versatility, which he's shown through a career including more than one of the world's brainier heavy rock bands. Porcupine Tree probably has the lowest jazzy quotient of those, whch makes it perfectly perverse that Harrison and co-collaborator Laurence Cottle re-shaped a whole album's worth ...

Jakko M. Jakszyk: Secrets & Lies

Read "Secrets & Lies" reviewed by John Kelman

Heaven & Earth: Live and in the Studio 1997-2008

Read "Heaven & Earth: Live and in the Studio 1997-2008" reviewed by John Kelman


Yet another year, yet another characteristically detailed and chronologically contextualized King Crimson mega-box set. Except that 2019 is no typical year.

And he helped pave the way for post progressive rock ...

Galasphere 347: Galasphere 347

Read "Galasphere 347" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


The record label duly notes that the ensemble's lineup is a pedigree from estimable progressive rock-based bands such as White Willow, Henry Fool, Änglagard, The Tim Bowess band, and more.
