simakDialog: Demi Masa

Read "Demi Masa" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


The fifth album by this Indonesian unit offers a mélange of progressive jazz and cerebral rock, augmented by a highly entertaining form factor. Here, the Fender Rhodes electric piano resides as the primary musical voice as Riza Arshad toggles between it and acoustic piano, also using an ancient Oberheim analog synth for colorific textures. Moreover, Arshad ...

Soft Machine: Drop

Read "Drop" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Questo bellissimo CD documenta il tour europeo dei Soft Machine dell'autunno 1971.

Soft Machine: Drop

Read "Drop" reviewed by Nic Jones


The departure of Robert Wyatt from the drum stool in Soft Machine and the arrival of Phil Howard could have been a potentially fraught moment in the band's evolution back in the early '70s. Until now the only documentation of Howard's time with the band was on one side of Fifth (Sony/BMG, 1972), which was no ...
