This new set has a lot of variety. There are things that are pretty crazy, and it gets downright noisy.

Do I think this is progressive rock? Maybe it is.

This is a brand new two-CD edition of Be-Bop Deluxe's Sunburnt Finish album. The first CD is a new master of the original album.

This is an instrumental album that's a bit hard to pin down. Parts are fusion oriented. 

This is a retro review of a disc from Citizen K. I reviewed the act's newest disc recently, making it a good idea to have a look at this double disc set.

This is a concept album, but I'm not really clear on the concept. I do know that it opens and closes in the same place, after taking a ride across two CDs.

This is a bizarre, and particularly cool album. It's clearly a unique experience.

I've landed this under progressive rock. I'm sure that's going to upset some prog purists.

The latest album from Terry Draper of Klaatu fame, much of this feels as if it could have been released under that band name. There is a wide range of stuff here.

I put the last set from Jon Durant that I reviewed under progressive rock, and I think this one belongs there, too. This is restrained and slowly moving music.

I've landed this under progressive rock to a large degree because it's so hard to pin down in terms of style. The music here is very slow moving and moody.

I put a previous set from this act under progressive rock. At the time I talked about how that wasn't a perfect fit, but it seemed the appropriate one.

For those who don't know, the Fermi Paradox refers to the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence of intelligent life in the universe and the mathematical likelihood that it must exist.

This is not progressive rock. It is, however, progressive music.

The first solo album from Patrick Moraz, The Story of i (also reviewed in this issue), was released in 1976 as part of a group effort from members of Yes to release solo albums.  

The first solo album from Patrick Moraz, this is getting a cool remastered edition. This features two bonus tracks and restored art.

This new album from Pavlov's Dog comes about eight years after the last one. This is most often folk prog, but there are other genre represented here and there throughout.

This is an intriguing set from a Polish act that is unique. I dig the blend of hard-edged metallic sound with more pure prog.

This new remastered release is so classy. Not only do you get a remastered version of the original album, but it comes with several bonus tracks.

The third (although it's called the fourth in the trilogy) in a planned series of albums from The Residents, this is my favorite of the three. It's much more vocal based (in fact, only one track is sans vocals), but the vocals are strange.

This, as you can probably gather, is a live album from 1982. The Residents are captured in all their weirdness and in fine form.

This new box set is really great. Over the course of several years in the 1980s The Residents set out to record and release a multi-album concept project.

The second album of a planned series that were intended to work as an extensive concept work, this is a bit more accessible than its predecessor. There is definitely more jazz in the mix, too.

This is the second disc from this outfit that I've reviewed. The brand of fusion is potent and intriguing.

This new box set features three full albums from Steeleye Span. It comes in a nice clamshell box and includes an impressive booklet.

The first album from Steeleye Span, this was released in 1970. It's perhaps more acoustic and traditionally driven than the discs that followed it.

This is Steeleye Span's second disc, released in 1971. As much as I enjoy the first album, I'd say that this one elevates things a bit.

Steeleye Span's third album, this was released in 1971 (and was their second release that year). I think this is proggier than the first two.

I previously reviewed another set from this act, and this is a new reissue with all kinds of cool bonus material. These guys aren't progressive rock, but they are proto prog.

This was a disc I was pre-determined to enjoy. I like space music, a lot.

We generally land fusion under progressive rock at Music Street Journal. There are a number of reasons for that. First, most progressive fanatics also like fusion.

The latest disc from Hawkwind founder Nik Turner, this has some definite links to the sound of that band. The space rock drives this, but it's not the only game in town either.

If you just listen to the first song here, you won't understand why I landed this set under progressive rock. Stepping past that one, though, there is a prog angle on every single track.

Gary Wilson is a unique musician. He's not progressive rock in the traditional sense, but his music is experimental enough to fit there.

There is a good reason the songs on this disc feel very much in line with old-school metal. These are modern versions of Tank songs from the 80s.

This new CD from Thor comes with a documentary on DVD. The music on the CD has a good range between old-school metal and punk driven sound.

There are a couple points that need to be made clear right off the bat here. First off, this isn't precisely heavy metal.

This is an album that's a bit hard to pin down. The musical references seem to come from all over the place.

This is quite an entertaining set. There is a lot of country music in the mix.

This CD is a solo guitar EP from a musician from my local area. Every piece here was recorded in one take, with no overdubs and just one guitar.

The new single from Michael Bruner, this is an entertaining and intriguing piece.  It is likely to pique listeners' interest enough to make them dig into Bruner's catalog a bit.

This 1973 album is being presented in a great remastered CD version here. The sound of this album ranges from bluegrass-driven to more mainstream rocking.

In order to properly review this, I should talk a bit about music, and particularly the trend in a lot of modern pop. Looking to the sonic art form, the creation of it is a very human experience.

This is quite a refreshing and entertaining set. It's well rooted in the music of the 60s and early 70s. Yet there is also a modern freshness to it in some ways.

You really only have to look at the cover to realize that this set will be retro-styled. You'd be right making that assumption.

This new disc finds Ren Daversa demonstrating her talents as both a singer and songwriter. The music lands in the general zone of soft pop rock, but there is some range here.

I've previously reviewed a couple discs from Grönholm. Here guitarist Mika Grönholm joins forces with singer Lee Small.

Fans of mainstream rock inspired by folk and country should give this new set a try. The five songs contained here all work well.

I am a big fan of reggae music. So, I'm kind of a natural to become a fan of something like this.

This new album from guitar hero Gary Hoey, as the title suggests, is a bluesy one. Not everything here is set in the blues, but most of it is.

This is a long lost album from Humble Pie. It had been rejected by the group's label, and the music has been sitting in the vaults since 1975.

If you like old-school country music, this set is definitely for you. Not everything feels like it could have been released in the 40s or 50s, but most of it does.

These guys are billed as a bluegrass act, but that's only so accurate. Don't get me wrong, bluegrass is a big part of what they do, and it permeates everything here.

I have been digging this band for quite a few years now. This new album is a fine entry into their catalog.

This new single is pretty intriguing stuff. The first instinct might be to think of it is a retro, jazz affair. There is a lot of that here.

I reviewed a previous set from this artist. I liked that one a lot, but thought that perhaps a few songs could have been pulled from the disc to make it stronger.

Erich Mrak is working toward an ambitious goal. He's releasing a new single every month.

It's hard to imagine a musical world without the legacy of Django Reinhardt. He has created such a huge, and lasting, influence on many genre. 

So much modern music is overproduced to the point of feeling "fake." I doubt anyone will accuse this song of that.

This disc is quite strong. There are a couple tunes that don't work as well for me, but overall, this is effective.

This release is entertaining and quite cool. It's also hard to pin down in terms of style.

Here we have a new single from Les Techno. His style of music is always hard to pin down, and this cut is no exception to that rule.

I've been a fan of Robin Trower since the 70s. For my money, the classic album from him is Bridge of Sighs, and that era is his best.

It's not easy to pin a label on this music. There is quite a bit of range here.

It might be easy to think you've entered a time warp when listening to this album. This set would have been quite at home in the 1980s.

You might not recognize Reese Wynans' name, but he's been the keyboardist on so many records during his 50-plus year career.

This is at its core a hip hop song. There are definitely trappings of both electronica and pop music here, though.

There was another version of this released previously, at least to some degree as "30 Years Of Southern Rock." The way that release was done was a double DVD set with the two shows.

This is an amazing set. It starts off with two DVDs featuring three shows from the German TV show "Rockpalast." Then they add in five audio CDs with the music from those three shows.

This was previously released as two different things. There was a DVD titled "Rockpalast: Blues Rock Legends, Vol. 2 - Paul Butterfield DVD" and an audio CD titled "Rockpalast: Blues Rock Legends."

In 2018 Todd Rungren's Utopia reunited. Three original members (Rundgren, Willie Wilcox and Kasim Sulton) were joined by keyboardist Gil Assayas.
