Hi guys

(we released his 3 studio albums Visionary, perilous Journey and Fear of the Dark in July)
Climax Blues Band-Stamp Album
Climax Blues Band-Sense of Direction

Robert Calvert-Lucky lief and the Longships (this is the same as the Eclectic edition for those that have it, although the mastering was looked at again and credits changed obviously)

September

Spirogyra-Old Boot Wine
Spirogyra-St radigunds
(spirogyra are acid folk with a Canterbury twist)

October
Not fully scheduled so will announce in a couple of weeks--- but 2 definite new studio albums(and excellent ones too)

John Lees Barclay James Harvest--North (first new album in 13 years) all new material
Solstice--Prophecy

We also have several new albums scheduled in for early next year including a new album with Peter Hammill and Gary Lucas!! in february 2014. Having heard this, I think you are going to really like this combination of 2 great artists.

We also have a new album with the terrific "guitar looper" Matt Stevens in feb 2014 entitled "Lucid" --Matt is one great talent and a lovely chap to boot --if you dont know him, get on over to his facebook-hes a prolific chatter on the industry in general and very well liked in the Prog community.

and of course we have a new studio album by the great man himself Jack Bruce in March 2014.

Also mentioning an album that is not on Esoteric but may well be of interest to prog fans from one of Cherry Reds affiliate labels is Darryl Ways "Ultra Violins" -- the first new solo album for 20 years from the much loved Curved Air member.

On tour
John Lees Barclay James Harvest--to support their album North, dates in the UK in November 2013. Dates and ticket links can all be found at www.barclayjamesharvest.com

Sanguine Hum will be supporting the terrific Swedish prog band "Moon Safari" at the Peel in Kingston On Thames on September 13th

Oooh, the Spirogyra should be nice releases. What's that song I adore by them? Parallel Lines Never Separate. When it mellows and Barbara comes in, that is SO haunting!!! Love that (from Bells, Boots and Shambles)

Is the Oliver Wakeman and Steve Howe something new? I didn't know they had an album together, and I try to keep up on all Steve's music.
