Raoul Bjorkenheim: Apocalypso

Read "Apocalypso" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Born in Los Angeles, CA and a longtime resident of Helsinki, Finland, cutting-edge guitarist Raoul Bjorkenheim has carved out a successful and somewhat entrepreneurial musical persona in the Euro progressive rock scene. He first came to prominence with the late drummer Edward Vesala's Sound & Fury band, while subsequently creating the avant-garde and widely acclaimed quasi-free ...

Miriodor: Mekano

Read "Mekano" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

This twenty-year old Canadian band draws upon components of the “Rock In Opposition” sound witnessed by the Belgian outfit, “Univers Zero” and others of note. Here, with its fifth effort, the ensemble along with special guests, engage in a predominately upfront rhythmic attack amid quite a few complex time signatures. However, the musicians display great depth ...

Picchio dal Pozzo: Camere Zimmer Rooms

Read "Camere Zimmer Rooms" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Motivated by the British Canterbury progressive rock scene, this Italian band had only released two albums during their reign in the 70’s as Camere Zimmer Rooms represents previously unheard studio material recorded between 1977-1980. Hence, during the early 70’s - 80’s, the European prog-rock movement was all about taking chances. In those days, musicians’ often incorporated ...

Raoul Bj: Apocalypso

Read "Apocalypso" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff

Guitarist Raoul Björkenheim wields his instrument like a knife on the ironically double-entendred Apocalypso. Sometimes he stabs, other times he engraves; or he might twist and jab, or simply scratch. Maybe it's just a Finnish thing, but brightness and Björkenhim just don't go together. The story behind this composition is relatively brief: in 1994, the Helsinki ...

Brotherhood of Breath: Travelling Somewhere

Read "Travelling Somewhere" reviewed by A. Henkin

by A. Henkin

Jazz is, despite unnamed documentaries claiming the contrary, an international art form; A genre that sacrifices egos and politics for a larger purpose. Musicians play together, despite the racial and international conflicts of the time, purely for the experience and joy of creating music. Some of these meetings and collaborations become much more than just sessions. ...

Djam Karet: New Dark Age

Read "New Dark Age" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Southern California-based progressive rock band, “Djam Karet’s latest effort may indeed represent the logical link between the hard hitting, Live At Orion and the melodically tinged yet equally powerful, The Devouring. With this newly released outing, the quartet produces shrewdly conceived textural arrangements via well-placed synth textures, crisp, slicing electric lead guitar lines, impacting crunch chords ...

Matching Mole: Smoke Signals

Read "Smoke Signals" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Ardent fans of the oft fabled British Canterbury school of progressive music should welcome this new release by a band whose sole recorded output resulted in two acclaimed 1972 recordings. Thus, the name “Matching Mole” was derived from the French translation of the great British band, “Soft Machine” (machine molle), although in 1971 drummer Robert Wyatt ...

Paul Dunmall Octet: Great Divide

Read "Great Divide" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff

One must respect the impressive experience shared among the players on Great Divide. In various groups led by Paul Dunmall and Elton Dean, as well as Keith Tippett's Mujician, the musicians in Dunmall's current Octet have committed a lot of fine music to record. Great Divide continues in this offbeat tradition, offering a series of pieces ...
