Jack Bruce: Silver Rails
by Phillip Woolever
Jack Bruce and a sterling cast of supporting players roar down breathtaking tracks on this powerful production, offering what sounds like Bruce's autobiographical retrospective in an artistic, highly personal manifesto. The album seems to progress in stages, starting with British blues and abstract jazz, musical touchstones Bruce has based much of his catalog on. ...
Bob Downes: Deep Down Heavy
by Vic Albani
Quando AAJ mi ha spedito questo CD, non volevo credere che sarebbe stato possibile arrivare alla ristampa di uno dei CD più particolari, curiosi e per certi versi assurdi pubblicati nell'ormai lontano 1970. Fu un anno davvero particolare per la musica europea che, sin dai primi mesi, dimostrò di credere seriamente a una sorta di “cambio ...
Mike Pinder: The Promise / Among The Stars
by Glenn Astarita
As a founding member of The Moody Blues, keyboardist, percussionist and vocalist, Mike Pinder put the electro-mechanical tape replay keyboard instrument, mellotron on the map. He also composed several classics for the band, including “Melancholy Man" and “How Is It (We Are Here)," as his musicality inspired other artists and ensembles during the advent and glory ...
Lifesigns: Lifesigns
by Glenn Astarita
UK-based trio Lifesigns combines expressive soloing, stately overtones and heart-pumping opuses via impressive progressive-pop sensibilities and multi-tiered compositions, hardened by classic prog virtuosity. The band acquires compassionate support from icons, guitarist Steve Hackett (Genesis) and flautist Thijs Van Leer (Focus). Guitarists Jakko Jakszyk and Robin Boult (Fish) contribute, yet the listings do not identify the guest ...

Soft Machine: Tales of Taliesin: The EMI Years Anthology 1975-1981
by John Kelman
With the release of Bundles (Harvest, 1975), Soft Machine moved more definitively into the riff-based fusion territory that keyboardist/reed man Karl Jenkins had begun pushing the band since his arrival on Six (Sony, 1973). With reeds becoming increasingly less dominant, and the group's only remaining founding member, keyboardist Mike Ratledge, relegated to a backline position, this ...
