Markus Reuter: (R)Evolutionary Touch Guitarist
by Jeffrey L. Melton
German touch guitarist Markus Reuter stands at the forefront of the international ambient music community. From his various collaborations with King Crimson alumni and electronic music pioneers Ian Boddy and Robert Rich, Reuter has crafted a busy schedule of his own recordings, lent his own ear and expertise to engineering and production work in parallel with ...
Trey Gunn / Marco Minnemann: Modulator
by Glenn Astarita
Touch guitar ace Trey Gunn composed this album based upon Marco Minnemann's 51-minute Normalizer 2 drum solo. Thankfully, this is not a bash fest; instead, the drummer's rhythmic foray features odd-metered polyrhythmic episodes and textural cymbal swashes amid a cavalcade of salient percussive concepts.The preponderance of the largely, contiguous tracks do indeed pronounce a ...
Alex Machacek: A Very Tall Tale
by Ian Patterson
Be careful what you wish for, for you may get it-so the saying goes. When Alex Machacek asked drummer Marco Minnemann if he had a drum solo he could pass his way to compose around, he could never have expected a drum improvisation lasting 51 minutes. Before he could say, “Hey, 13/16 is a really odd ...
Alex Machacek: 24 Tales
by John Kelman
It's not the first time guitarist Alex Machacek has composed around drum improvisation--he did that with three tracks on [sic], his 2006 breakout record and first for Abstract Logix--but he's taken the concept even farther on 24 Tales. It's also not the only release to use, as its basis, a 51-minute drum improvisation by Marco Minneman--Machacek's ...

U.K., Danger Money and Night After Night Reissues
by John Kelman
With violinist and keyboardist Eddie Jobson out of a self-imposed retirement that lasted over two decades, he's been wasting no time getting his name back out to progressive rock fans. 2008 saw the formation of UKZ, a new group following in the footsteps of late 1970s progressive rock supergroup U.K., which he formed alongside ex-King Crimson ...
KTU: Quiver
by John Kelman
There's often considerable difference between live and studio recording, where the facility's greater capacity for control and manipulation can almost become an additional band member. Still, for some the difference is a subtle one. In the case of KTU--a collective that began with half of King Crimson (Warr guitarist Trey Gunn and traps/button man Pat Mastelotto) ...
The Season Standard: Squeeze Me Ahead of Line
by John Kelman
Even with the resurgence of progressive rock in the past decade--which made it possible for relatively new groups like D.F.A., Mahogany Frog, Deus ex Machina and Tuner to thrive alongside longer-standing groups like King Crimson, Yes and Univers Zero--it's rare to find a group that's at once so distinctive as to sound like none other, while ...

Quodia: The Arrow: A Story in Seven Parts
by John Kelman
Transferring live multi-media projects to CD and/or DVD can represent a significant and often insurmountable challenge. Quodia--ex-King Crimson touch guitarist Trey Gunn and experimental keyboardist/founder of avante-popsters Rise Robots Rise (with Joe Mendelson)--clearly views recorded media as a distinct entity, but one that can work independently and in conjunction with live performance. The Arrow: A Story ...
