simakDialog: Patahan
by John Kelman
Starting out closer to smooth jazz territory, Indonesian simakDialog ("to listen carefully to The Dialog) has come a long way since 1993 to get to Patahan, its first release to see international distribution. Based on the album's episodic and expansive opener, “One Has to Be, first impressions would suggest this Jakarta-based quintet is mining similar turf ...

Jason Smith: Tipping Point
by John Kelman
Jason Smith's Think Like This (Alternity, 2005) was an unexpected debut from a drummer with greater credibility as a pop and rock session player. Teamed with keyboardist Gary Husband and bassist Dave Carpenter, that disc demonstrated that there can often be a considerable gap between how one makes a living and the direction chosen when given ...

Alan Morse: Four O'Clock and Hysteria
by John Kelman
Eschewing the layered keyboards, vocal choruses, and generally “big" production of his normal gig as guitarist with neo-progsters Spock's Beard, Alan Morse's Four O'Clock and Hysteria comes out of left field. While there are unmistakable hints of progressive rock to be found, it's more fusion than prog, an album where guitar is the dominant voice. Alongside ...
