Stick Men feat. Gary Husband – OWARI

For me, Owari is a cliffhanger album that leaves us on a tightrope.

Magma – Retrospektïw I-II-III

If you are new to the band’s music, this might be the starting point.

Days Between Stations – Giants

Giants is a bumpy roller-coaster ride that tends to be exhausting, it pulls through at the very end.

Exclusive Album Premiere: Mugstar – Graft

Centripetal Force (North America) and Cardinal Fuzz (UK/Europe) are excited to announce the upcoming release of Mugstar’s GRAFT, the follow-up album to their much-lauded live collaboration with Can’s Damo Suzuki released earlier this year. After experi …

Jakko M Jakszyk – Secrets & Lies

It may not be everyone’s cup of coffee, but Jakko has really come a long, long way to go beyond the sound of King Crimson and take his music a step further.

Jon Gomm – The Faintest Idea

The Faintest Idea is a healing release that will take you on the road to recovery with Gomm’s arrangements to follow your heart and soul for the reinvention by finding your true inner self.

Under The Influence With Eivør

The “Nordic Kate Bush”, whose music features in Game of Thrones and The Last Kingdom, shares four albums that have been major influences on her. . .

Fish – Weltschmerz

With Weltschmerz, the circle is finally completed.

Mark Vickness – Interconnected

Vickness and other musicians try to show that there are so many points where different musical styles and concepts overlap and have something in common. Luckily for all, they are able to prove their point with ease.

Flying Colors – Third Stage: Live In London

The chemistry on here between the band and the audience is quite a magical journey from start to finish.

Hymn – Breach Us

Meditative gargantuan riff metal. Like being hit by a glacier.

Gazpacho – Fireworker

Fireworker is quite a spectacular journey from start to finish.

Hawkwind: Days Of The Underground. Radical Escapism in the Age Of Paranoia. An interview with Joe Banks

The fact that they were so closely associated with the counterculture meant that they continually got it in the neck as ‘aging hippies’, but they were hugely influential on the early punks. Members of the Sex Pistols, Clash, Damned etc were all fans, but it was their anti-establishment, anyone-can-do-it attitude that had just as much of an impact as their music.

Reciprocate – Yeah Well

The loose song structures are contorted by hyper charged playing, love songs played at full force and high volume to achieve an emotional frenzy.

Jon Durant & Robert Jürjendal – Across the Evening

Jon & Robert have upped their craftsmanship to take listeners on exotic landscapes.

The Tangent – Auto Reconnaissance

The Tangent’s music is more than just a prog sound, but going beyond those structures. Whether you like the band’s music or not, Auto Reconnaissance may take some time to get into, but you will be rewarded with an impressive album.

Magenta – Masters Of Illusion

I would love to think that six masters in the horror genre, would be thrilled to have this album dedicated to them.

IZZ – Half Life

IZZ have kept their trains chugging for more adventures that await us beyond the horizon.

Amy Birks – All That I Am & All That I Was

With a pop, folky, and carrying that classical approach, Amy Birks has spread her wings.

Rick Wakeman & The English Rock Ensemble – The Red Planet

Rick Wakeman is a true visionary, a maestro, and a storyteller that has brought The Red Planet to life.

Ohhms – Close

This album is more autobiographical than Ohhms’ previous efforts – but it speaks to anyone who is infuriated with selfishness, stupidity and a general lack of empathy. And it still gloriously heavy.
