Mick Farren and Andy Colquhoun - Black Vinyl Dress Review by Gary Hill
Let’s just say, right off the bat, not all of this is really progressive rock.
|
|
|
|

Roger Waters - Radio K.A.O.S. Review by Scott Prinzing
Roger Waters’ second solo album (not counting a couple of soundtrack collaborations) is still satisfying to sit and listen to over 25 years since its original release in 1987, but it does sound more dated than his other solo work.
