Roberto Di Gioia: Web Web - Kover Kover

by Andy Crowther
April 24, 2026

Web Web are a “German supergroup" releasing mostly their own material on the Munich-based Compost Records. All are heavily influenced by the spiritual sounds of the legendary Black Jazz and Strata East labels, the grooves of ethio-jazz, and the more experimental kraut-rock leanings of bands like Embryo. But their 2025 album Plexus Plexus tellingly included a ...

September 4, 2025

The Bastards delve into the fecund fields of fusion once again, focusing on that most electric of decades, the 1970s.

Fans can always count on unpredictably adventuresome twists to the standard form on classics like “Birdland" or “Take Five" amidst inspired originals. Much of ...
