Jeff Beck In Japan. Great show from 1999, featuring Jennifer Batten on guitar (and guitarsynths), Randy Hope-Taylor on Bass and Steve Alexander on Drums.

Got the new album Every Five Seconds today. Wow, they still manage to come up with a great album. This one's produced by Stephen W. Tayler and dedicated to his longtime friends Rupert Hine and...

Note the track In The Dead Of Night by The Tangent is part of the 16 minutes bonustrack on their new album Songs From the Hard Shoulder.

Slightly OT and maybe posted before but I never knew there was a Canterbury Scene in New Zealand:...

Bombastisch, Ondansbaar en Weergaloos was reviewed in the latest edition of prog-magazine iO Pages (don't know if you're still reading that one). The nice thing about the book is that the two autors...

After reading a Dutch-only book on progressive music by two writers (Bombastisch, Ondansbaar en Weergaloos), I started reading the translation of Pal Cleave's The Quiet People (2021). The way I would...

Although I've never used it I also had to make a new account for Amazon.co.jp; logging with the .com, .de and .co.uk-account didn't work.

^^Manifesto Records released this material on the CD/DVD "Live In Japan 1984" in 2018.

Correct of course.

Yes, these are my favorites too, although Allan wasn't happy with the Live-album (like he wasn't happy with so much more of his great catalogue).

In the early 90's I started reviewing for a Dutch progressive magazine and with my background as a lover of jazzrock and related styles I received a lot of promotional copies of the (often)...

I guess the times when some interesting stuff came from PP are long over. My collection has the following PP/Cleopatra-CD's:

I believe it was 1992 when I saw Julee with the B-52s live. Although not a real fan of the latter, I enjoyed the show very much and Julee fitted perfectly. Love her work for Twin Peaks and her...

About 60 I have. Interesting times.

If everything goes as planned I'll be seeing the band on July 2nd. It will be the second time I'll visit a show of Midnight Oil. 1985 was the first time (so before the breakthru-album Diesel And...

The show mentioned above ^^ was released on CD in 2005 by Major League Productions as British Tour '75.

More AH-news: Eclectic Recordings is releasing another version of Soft Machine's Bundles, this time with an extra disk containing a live-recording. But.... this concert is from October 1975 and at...

Thanks. Googletranslate helped me to read it.
Nice to read it was Cristiano Roversi from Moongarden who organized the whole thing. He also produced the album by Andrea Chimenti mentioned in post #5,...

Yes, it's lightyears away from Geoff Mann's version of Twelfth Night, but for me that doesn't influence the joy I have listening to these new sounds. More progressive rockbands incorporated...

Sounds impressive, this new one:

Eric Johnson: Live From Austin TX

There's not much talk about Johnson the last couple of years, I guess because he releases more acoustic albums. But this recording from 1988 shows what a...

I've got only 2 albums by The Muffins (so I'm not an expert), from which I like Chronometers the best, probably because it's quite melodic and Canterbury-like. The other is Manna/Mirage.

Oké, sorry for the mis-information. I guess I should have written "Schizoid Shop". The browser version of the mail can be found here:...

Correct. This mail was sent to all DGM-customers:

Don't know if this site was mentioned before. It features a lot of Yamashta's albums: http://www.artskool.biz/jem/sy.html

It was not on a Friday-evening and it was no concert-DVD: I watched the movie Whiplash yesterday again. Speaking of "over-the-top"-drumming (post #97), but I love the story, the actors and of course...

Knowing a couple of those covers I can only say: poor girl.

REUNION: UK - Live In Tokyo

There's a lot to dislike on this DVD: the awful mix, in which even the audience-noise seems to come through a tube, the amateurish film-quality, the over-the-top...

The mini-album came with a 108 pages long booklet.

Saw The Cure when this fine LP was just released. They weren't big yet, so it was a nice intimate concert. Two problems: some so called punky fans who thought it was funny to throw trash at the...

Great name! ;)

Although there was no music involved, it was nice to see Woody Harrelson a couple of times wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt (The Division Bell-artwork) in 2 chapters of the first series of True...

Most progressive music-lovers go for their latest two albums, but for me this the highlight of Talk Talk; it moves me every time and indeed it's as fresh as when I first bought it in 1984.

I guess this CD isn't available at shops yet. Can't find any info on the Bandcamp-site from SP, while googling the catalogue-number brings nothing.
There was an album called Slowburn in 2019, but...

This is what drummer Jan Dubbe meant:

Ha, ha, yeah, I fooled myself here, although there's a connection between the two .... somewhere. ;)

Thanks for the reminder. Watched it again after I bought it about 19 years ago. Although I have almost all Camel-albums I don't play them a lot anymore, but hearing those old tunes from Camel,...

It's also on the Bandcamp-page.

I was surprised to see Andrea Chimenti doing a track. He's more in the field of David Sylvian-like music and has just released...

Sad news for the Nits-members and their fans: their rehearsal- and archive-room was destroyed by a fire yesterday.

Second album on Is It Jazz? Records (Karisma sub-label) will be Datadyr's Woolgathering
