Richard Barbieri is best known for his work with Porcupine Tree. This is his new solo album.

There was a time when progressive rock sort of emerged from psychedelic rock. In the early days, the two shared a lot of territory.

This is one of two reissues I'm reviewing in this issue from this band. Of the two, I think I like this one better.

This new album from Roland Buehlmann continues the trend of his previous release. It's truly a solo effort.

This is an intriguing disc. It has some moments that are incredible.

Sometimes space rock sacrifices the rock part of the equation for the space. That's definitely not the case here.

This album could land in the territory of electronic music. It seems a bit too organic for that, though.

This disc could be put under New Age. It's pretty and quite mellow.

Those expecting Genesis styled prog rock here are likely to be disappointed. This is much more of a fusion set with some world music built into it.

It's hard for me to pick favorite Hawkwind albums. I mean, I'm a big fan of the band, and I like pretty much all of their albums.

I previously reviewed other work from Elmo Karjalainen and liked it. This new album is not a surprise.

Is this progressive rock? Maybe not. Is it progressive rock in the traditional sense? Absolutely not.

I don't know if this is progressive rock, but it's clearly progressive music. It's mostly atmospheric and dark, but there are plenty of variants here.

This solo album from Jon Lord has been reissued with some bonus tracks. It's an intriguing album.

I'm expecting arguments with landing this under prog rock. It's clearly a form of art rock, though.

This is quite a cool release. Even if all you got was the CD, it would be worth having, but that's sort of just the beginning.

This collection is literally made up of studio sketches. Bill Nelson spent a period of several years working on song ideas for a band he was looking to assemble.

I am not positive that this was released under the OSC name because it's not listed as that on the cover.

This new CD is all instrumental. It has a lot of space rock in the mix.

This double CD set should appeal mostly to fans of Italian prog and those who really enjoy music from the Rock In Opposition music. It clearly has ties to both of those things.

The opening track of this two CD set is massive one hour and fifteen minutes plus cut. It has a blend of classical music, electronic and space sound.

This album is being billed as "ambient music." I think that's a disservice to the music here.

Perhaps this three CD should go under "various artists" instead of "Rick Wakeman." Still, I think Wakeman plays on almost everything here.

I'm a big fan of progressive rock, and especially Yes (and by extension Rick Wakeman). I'm also a fan of horror movies, including the old classic ones.

There is a whole school of guitar based prog styled around the King Crimson style of music. These guys fit into that category.

This is a female fronted metal band. That said, they also have some strong folk stylings and even work into some prog territory.

This brand new 30th Anniversary edition of Turbo is classy stuff. Sure, Turbo is arguably the weakest album in Priest's catalog, but this set has the major bonus of a double CD live set.

I really like this album a lot. This band is from Spain. The majority of the lyrics are in Spanish.

This was the second Aerosmith album. It seems to me that a lot of people overlook this disc. 

Some hip hop manages to stand taller than other offerings of the genre. This is such an album.

This is a brand new single from a new artist Jordan Alexander. This kind of pop music isn't really my forte, but she does it with a more genuine texture than a lot of folks do.

There are definitely roots music elements at play here. This has a lot of John Mayer built into it, too.

I reviewed a previous release from Leah Capelle. I remember that the main thing holding the set together was the voice.

Folk music can sometimes feel tired and a bit samey. While I wouldn't call this album "folk" music, it is clearly very folk driven.

This EP is great. It's more or less modern female fronted pop music, at least as a general heading.

This is an intriguing set. It's rather effective and has some songs that are particularly strong. It's not without its problems, though.

This set is quite strong. These guys land in the territory of alternative rock, but there is a lot of pop here.

This new single is intriguing. The music is hard to categorize, really.

There is a lot of folk music here. This has a real singer/songwriter vibe.

These guys really have a handle on an old school hard rock sound. There musical mayhem has a lot of metal and hard rock in the mix. 

It seems that a lot of people get their music in small, single song dosages these days. That's probably a good thing for this album.

Parts of this are progressive. No, they aren't progressive rock, but they are progressive music.

This feels in a lot of ways like it could have come out of the 1970s. The horn-soaked fusion on this disc is classic stuff.

There is a lot of roots music built into this. Alternative rock is at its heart, too.

I like this set quite a bit. It probably lands under folk music more than anything else, but it touches on country, psychelia and things like shoegaze and dream pop, too.

There is some exceptional music here. The sound of this really channels a lot of old school classic rock textures, but at times brings some modern elements to it.

I know Gerry Rafferty was best known for the song "Baker Street." That tune combines jazzy textures along with melodic rock and more.

This act is described as a mariachi band. I don't think you can hear that at all in this song.

The Rolling Stones have been an institution for a long time. It's cool that they are still rocking in the modern era.

There's no missing the fact that these guys are big Motorhead fans. The title of the album refers to Michael "Wurzel" Burston to whom the album is dedicated.

I've put off reviewing this for a while. There are a couple reasons.

This set includes not only the DVD, but a double CD set of the concert.  Jack Dupree was called "Champion Jack Dupree" because he had been a champion boxer.

One could say that there are enough Michael Schenker live videos out there, why do we need another? Well, this one is really a chronicle of a special event, meaning that if some are extraneous, this is not.

This new DVD/CD set includes both the video disc and a double disc audio CD of the show. When you turn anything with George Thorogood on to play, you know what you are going to get.  

I always love it when DVDs include an audio CD of the show. That makes it more versatile. 

This book is something very special. A good tag-line for this would be "come for the pictures, stay for the stories."
