Taylor's Universe: Kind of Red

Read "Kind of Red" reviewed by Dave Wayne


Danish multi-instrumentalist Robin Taylor is something of a musical polymath who's recorded extensively in a number of disparate musical arenas, including free improvisation (with his group Taylor's Free Universe), hard rock (with Art Cinema), electronic soundscapes, and jazz-rock fusion. With Kind of Red, Taylor's stylistic focus is firmly in the general area of instrumental progressive rock.

Taylor's Universe: Kind of Red

Read "Kind of Red" reviewed by Mark Redlefsen


Leader of the band Taylor's Universe, multi- instrumentalist, composer, producer, and record label owner Robin Taylor hails from Denmark. With the title of his 30th release, Kind Of Red, Taylor cleverly tips a hat to the iconic album Kind of Blue (Sony, 1959) by trumpeter Miles Davis, and possibly also to King Crimson's Red (Atlantic, 1974). ...

Robin Taylor - Taylor's Free Universe: Two-Pack

Read "Two-Pack" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

However, the minimalist product design is offset by several ferocious works, spanning the prog element and free-floating jazz improvisation. Taylor has been carrying the prog torch since 1991 and is a mainstay ...

Read "Artificial Joy" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

Read "Art Cinema" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Danish multi-instrumentalist Robin Taylor might be considered a modern day professor of progressive rock. He fuses the best of the past while instilling a sense of newness into his expanding discography. Art Cinema signifies a project that was brought about via Taylor's musical relationship with guitarist Michael Denner, who appeared on Soundwall (Independent, 2007), by Taylor's ...

Taylor's Universe with Karsten Vogel: Oyster's Apprentice

Read "Oyster's Apprentice" reviewed by John Kelman


If I learned anything on my recent trip to Punktfest in Norway, it's that there's a world of music out there which is lucky if it even receives a passing nod in North America. The internet has made it possible to gain access to much of this material, although one has to know where to look. ...
