Bob Downes Open Music: Crossing Borders

Read "Crossing Borders" reviewed by Nic Jones


Here's another of Reel's exercises in twentieth century tape archaeology.

It's highly worthwhile too, this labor of love, as on this occasion it yields a program ...

John Stevens - Evan Parker: Corner to Corner + The Longest Night

Read "Corner to Corner + The Longest Night" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Nuova edizione per due pietre miliari della collaborazione tra John Stevens e Evan Parker, registrate a 17 anni di distanza. The Longest Night era uscita a suo tempo in due vinili, considerato un vertice della musica estrema dell’epoca (era il 1976).
