This album deserves a lot of recognition for the way Bill wanted to prove his fans that he was more than just a founder of Be-Bop Deluxe and Red Noise.
White Willow’s Signal to Noise deserves to be on top of the list of albums with repeatable, desirable listens.
One of those albums that’ll be played for a long, long time and keeping the sound, vision, and wonders John brought to the table with its storytelling and poetic structures that is like a movie set in the 1950s with gorgeous and chamber-like arrangements.
It remains one of those albums that you keep going back to see what kind of mysteries and hidden clues that Lupo has left behind for listeners to discover.
A start for anyone who wants to go beyond the work to prove how much Bruce can take it a step further from his psychedelic and hard rock boundaries into something brilliant and poetic that you need to take notice of.
Light Up isn’t just an incredible album, its an album that fills your heart with joy. Solstice have proven once more that they can really deliver the goods by being the guardians of a brave new world in all of its true form. And we got to experience the adventure in all of its glory!
It does feel like a live album when you listen to Bedside, but the way that Greenslade, Lawson, Tony Reeves, and Andy McCulloch have done is to create a mystical, majestic, and symphonic adventure that’s stuck inside your brain for a very long time.
Sacrament is the album that puts you right in the middle of danger, horror, eerie stories coming to life, and the ascending nightmare that’ll take you closer to the edge and descend into madness.
Yes, they were often under the radar during prog’s golden-era, but man, Stackridge can really play. And if you’re very new to their music, The Man in the Bowler Hat is the one to start off. If you want proof, just ask Rosalie Cunningham.
With Vital, you feel the intensity, the vibes, the heat, and the power that was struck on that recording. Most of the mind-blowing live takes are like shivers down your spine.
Going through the second album is like looking through an old scrapbook, reflecting the wonderful memories you had.
With Jacob Holm-Lupo’s remastering sound on Ignis Fatuus, he brings in these vibrant textures to make it sound crisp, up to date, and respectable to the original.
Howard’s the unsung hero that would have given the ‘70s singer-songwriting genre, a real massive kick in the gut.
If you’re very new to Sabbath after discovering the Ozzy-era and want to embark on the Dio years, this is the one that is highly recommended.
…..it’s time to give Every Which Way, the proper recognition it deserves, and the amount of respect for Brian’s legacy that Esoteric has unleashed three years ago during those tricky times when the world shut down due to the pandemic.
While the album was released in 1971, it remains one of the true unsung gems in the history of free-jazz.
