I nearly landed this under "non-prog." It is very world-music based.

This new double-disc collection brings us the original mix of a classic Be-bop Deluxe album along with a new mix.

In terms of musical history, you really can't overlook John Cage. I remember taking a class on the history of American music in college, and composers like Cage were a big part of the twentieth century coverage.

Peter Banks was the original guitarist in Yes, formed the band Flash after that, and created solo music for years, in addition to other projects like his Empire band.

This act is always intriguing. They combine world music (heavily built around sitar) with fusion, prog rock and more.

This double CD set is quite an interesting release. The first disc, Abandoned, is a studio album.

I've debated whether to land this under non-prog or progressive rock. Make no mistake, this is not progressive rock at all.

I previously reviewed another set from this act and was very impressed. I feel equally impressed with this new release.

This act is based in Argentina. Their sound has a lot of electronic music, techno and even heavy metal in it.

This is an intriguing set. It could go under non-prog as jazz. I'd consider it more fusion, which we generally land under progressive rock, though.

This new set is quite intriguing. I previously reviewed a set from Gordon Grdina (with his Nomad Trio - in our last issue).

This is a great new box set from original Uriah Heep keyboardist Ken Hensley. The mix of sounds here runs pretty wide.

Both Gary Husband and Markus Reuter are legendary musicians who have been involved with many projects over the years.

I generally wouldn't consider Jefferson Airplane or Jefferson Starship to be progressive rock, although they both have prog tendencies at times.

There are two bands we've reviewed by this name over the years. This one is from Finland, and all the lyrics are in Finnish, but English translations are included on the lyric sheet.

I've landed this under progressive rock. Perhaps that's not the right choice, but honestly, I think there are definitely prog elements in pretty much everything on the disc.

What do you get when you combine classical music with jazz and some rock?

When I got this set to review, I thought it might be heavy metal. Certainly there is a lot of metal in the mix.

It's always a bit tough to pin Fernando Perdomo down to one sound. I generally land him under progressive rock, but this one fits a lot more firmly under that heading than some others do.

Many probably know Anthony Phillips' name as the original guitarist for Genesis. If that's all you know, though, you are really missing out.

This new set is pretty exceptional. It features three CDs and one DVD.

The cover of this disc describes it as a "movie for your ears." Musically this is essentially fusion.

This is the latest set from Siena Root. I think it might be the best of theirs I've heard.

It seems appropriate that this release is being reviewed in the same issue as a collection by John Cage. This is similar to his work in the way that it is very much outside the box and experimental.

I previously reviewed another set from this act. I put that one under progressive rock.

You can always count on Brian Tarquin to put together some strong projects, This is no exception.

When I'm getting the list of items ready for review for a new issue, I spin bits of CDs with which I'm not familiar to decide where it should fit in terms of genre classification.

This is a new set that's part of a new series. It gathers up krautrock songs. This first set is a double disc set that's very strong.

You really can't go wrong with a Darryl Way project. He's one of those musicians who you can count on for quality.

This could land under non-prog as more of an alternative rock set. I think based on the artsy characteristic and experimental nature that it fits more in the prog zone, though.

I previously reviewed the single "Whisper Whisper" in the last issue of Music Street Journal.

Cirith Ungol, named after the evil valley from “Lord of the Rings," is one of the ultimate  cult metal bands from the United States, with a history stretching back to the mid-70s.

This act combines modern nu-metal with alternative rock, epic metal and more.

This is the latest set from thrash/death metal band From Hell. This is a reasonably effective set.

This new box set assembles Ratt's five albums on Atlantic Records. Of course, the title probably gave that away, right?

I previously reviewed an album from D.G. Adams. That set landed in the singer-songwriter zone.

This is a solo project by Ranzel X Kendrick. The music here has a nice range of sound.

This set will definitely not be for everyone. If you like things like Tom Waits, you might find a kinship to this.

I've reviewed a couple other releases from Ivan Beecroft. Like those, this new set is a bit rough around the edges at times, but also quite effective.

This new collection features music designed to help create the mood for your very own St. Patrick's Day party.

This collection from Jim Capaldi is so strong. It gathers up three albums across four years of his career.

It seems to that there have been several movements in country music in the last decade or two.

It wouldn't be hard to imagine that this new single would have been a big hit in the disco era. There is a very retro element to this cut.

This has moments that land along the lines of progressive rock. Still other sections lean on the heavy metal genre.

I need to point out one thing at the start of this review. I am in no way going to comment on the political content of this release. I review music.

This new set from Toronto-based artist Lily Frost is strong. It has a nice blend of Americana (largely from the guitar sounds) and pop music from various eras along with other elements.

This new set from The fundaMentals is not a big change for them. It is, however, another effective set.

This is an intriguing set. The bulk of it feels as if it could have come from the 1980s.

Kimberly Hou's new set is a collection of piano solos that land in the zone of classical music.

This new double disc set collects the final studio album from Jefferson Airplane (until the reunion, that is) along with the live album that was released around the same time.

Lola Rising's new set shows a lot of promise. Taken as a whole, it isn't entirely successful, though.

This is the debut release from a duet. The two making up the group (Steve McCormick and Heather Donavon) share vocal duties.

This new compilation CD captures some solid rock and roll music. This is very much old school music.

Sean Miller hails from Michigan where he is part of the band The Real Ingredients. This is his new solo release.

The roots of this act go back to South Africa. That's where songwriter, guitarist Shaun Lovell linked up with bassist Bind Lovell.

I reviewed the previous disc from Missing Persons. In that review, I said that, while I liked the album, it wasn't so much a Missing Persons album.

I've reviewed quite a few discs from Todd Warner Moore. This is his latest, and it might be his best.

Thomas Charlie Pederson is no stranger to Music Street Journal. I've previously reviewed his band Vinyl Floor, but this is his solo release.

There is some effective music here. In fact, it all works well.

The music this act makes feels like it would have been at home on the radio in the 1970s. Their brand of rocking sound is definitely set in that era.

Here we have a new deluxe edition of a Spirit album that was released in 1990. The sound of the set has a remarkably retro vibe.

This is a new double CD reissue of a classic blues album from the 1950s. Don't expect guitar-based blues here.

This is an interesting collection. The tie that binds all of this together is the undercurrent of sex that was sort of hidden with a wink in the post World War II, pre-sexual revolution days.

The mix of country music with hard rock and blues on this works so well. The vocals are exceptional.

The alternative rock meets Americana and blues rock sounds that merge on this set is such a classy release. Don't expect anything Earth-shattering in terms of creativity or unique nature.

With a singer-songwriter air to all of it, this disc has a lot of class and style built into it. It's only six songs, and I wish there were more.

Flying Colors is a prog super group that has been around for quite a few years now.

This is an odd release from David Gilmour as it showcases mainly a show from 2001 and then adds in some additional pieces from a 2002 concert. 

I have always been a big fan of the Meddle album. As this documentary says, the disc is often sort of forgotten.

Do you love vinyl? I do. So do all the people in this DVD. This documentary is really a love letter to the format.
