Leonardo Pavkovic: Nothing is Ordinary

by Chris M. Slawecki
March 16, 2018

More than any other person, Leonardo Pavkovic has made me write some crazy shit.

by John Kelman
December 24, 2017

For those who may have noticed, there have been no best of lists coming from yours truly since 2014; sadly, the chronic health problem that has reduced my previous writing pace to a crawl continues without much respite.

by Glenn Astarita
May 8, 2013

Interestingly enough, this production was funded by fans through the Pledge Music website. The positive outcome should instill delight and a sense of fulfillment for the band's patrons, perhaps one of the densest incarnations of a progressive-rock trio imaginable. Tony Levin's (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel) Chapman Stick work, coupled with Markus Reuter's (Tuner, Europa String Choir) ...
