Friends & Neighbors: What’s Next?
by Alberto Bazzurro
Giunto al suo quarto album (dal 2011), il quintetto norvegese Friends & Neighbors conferma la propria predilezione per un discorso corale, fortemente condiviso, pur aprendo ovviamente i dovuti spazi agli spunti del singolo.

Chris Gall: Room Of Silence
by Don Phipps
Chris Gall's Room of Silence shines best on its original material, and it's a good thing since the album has ten originals and four covers.

Like ...

The album press pitch states that, “Mesophase is a term used in physics describing a state of matter that is neither liquid nor solid, sharing properties of both while defining a state unique unto itself."
