I previously reviewed a studio disc from this act. That album was quite King Crimson like and guitar oriented.

If you like space rock with plenty of psychedelia in the mix, you really need to check this set out.

You just can't argue with the music of Dave Bainbridge. It's always so charming and high quality.

This masterpiece of electronic music is getting its first release on CD with this edition. It was originally released on vinyl in 1981.

I have previously reviewed quite a few releases from Alex Carpani, yet I don't think I was prepared for this one.

This album is pretty amazing. It has a heavy, but decidedly prog sound.

Dr, Space (Scott Heller) must be one of the busiest musicians on the planet - or perhaps more appropriately, in the galaxy.

This album is a case where less might very well be more. I would suggest that it would be a stronger release had the bonus tracks been left off the main CD.

Dr. Space is probably best known for Øresund Space Collective, but he's really involved in so many projects.

Family is one of those band I've heard referenced over the years in the history of progressive rock, but never actually heard before.

Big Paul Ferguson is probably best known as the drummer from Killing Joke.

This group is more or less a power trio led by guitarist Joe Doblhofer, who wrote all the compositions here.

What an intriguing album this is. It's still early in the year, but I think this might wind up making my "best of 2022" list before the year is over.

This is the second album from this act, but the first I've heard. Based on the strength of this, I am interested in hearing anything else they do.

I'm not shy about the fact that I think Allan Holdsworth is the greatest guitarist to ever live. This new release captures a 2014 concert.

JPL stands for Jean Pierre Louveton. He is the guitarist for the prog band NEMO, and this is his third solo album.

This album was recorded in 1976. It was meant to commemorate the landing of NASA's Viking 2 on Mars.

When it comes to instrumental space rock, you really can't go wrong with Øresund Space Collective. I pretty much love everything that has been released under that moniker.

The blend of sounds on this album is intriguing. It is a near perfect mix of jazz, rock and fusion. It's also varied, with no two songs coming close to sounding the same.

Anthony Phillips was the original guitarist  in Genesis, but he's only featured on their first album. Since then he's released so much music.

I like this new box set quite a lot. First, you get the classic Renaissance album.

I've been a fan of Star People since they originally made their presence known. They had an unusual schtick - or perhaps several.

The music here lands under prog at MSJ because it's largely fusion, and we generally put fusion there. That said there are plenty of classic jazz moments. 

The music here was recording during virtual live performances in 2020 when the pandemic had much of the world locked down.

This various artists collection is definitely not a tight fit under the prog heading. Probably the two biggest impediments to that categorization are the final two tracks.

I am always upfront about the fact that I am a Yes fanatic. They've been my favorite band for more than 45 years now.

This is a band made up of a group of teenagers (ranging from 14 to 17). The thing is, you'd never know it from hearing it.

Hardcore punk and thrash metal are clearly related. In the early days the link was even more obvious.

I don't think I ever heard of this band before. They were a Canadian outfit that were together from 1999 to 2006.

I have to admit that I never heard of these guys before. That's a real shame.

How you feel about mainstream rock music and particularly Bruce Springsteen will probably impact your impressions of this album.

I am a pretty big fan of reggae music. There is just something about it that's infectious and uplifting.

Blue Soul Ten might sound like the name of a group, but it's actually the name of one man.

Cactus never became the household name a lot of other bands that played similar blues heavy hard rock did, but they certainly should have.

This new collection showcases an intriguing old school act. While the earliest music here dates to the 1950s, there are songs near the end that are from the 21st Century.

This collection features a 10-inch vinyl record along with a CD. The featured artist is Link Davis, who plies an old-school rock and roll meets blues, Creole and many other styles.

While I appreciate country music, and particularly country with rock leanings, I wouldn't consider it one of my wheelhouse genres.

Fabian was billed as a cross between Elvis Presley and Rick Nelson. He was a bit of a manufactured act.

Leslie Hunt is best known to progressive rock fans as the lead singer of the band District 97. This is the second of two solo EPs she recently released.

This is quite an unusual set. I have to think this show was unique, though.

I've reviewed a couple other sets from this act in the past. They consistently produce catchy music with a lot of old-school sound in the mix.

This album is quite strong from start to finish. It's set in a singer-songwriter zone, but there is quite a bit of variation here. At times it feels very jazzy. At other points it moves towards Dire Straits like rock. It's always solid and entertaining.

There was a time when pretty much all music coming out of Nashville, Tennessee was country, or at least heavily country leaning. Those days are gone, and this album is an example of that.

Chantel McGregor, who I have covered in the past, did a lot of musical performances during Covid lockdown.

I have to say that I really like this release a lot. The musical genre is hard to pin down, and that's just one of the appeals to this.

This is a collaboration between tenor saxophonist Keith Oxman and bassoonist Frank Morelli.

This new double CD features two albums from rocker Suzi Quatro. The first one came out in 2006, and was regarded as her comeback album.

This EP showcases an intriguing act. The name of the group features "Katie" in reference to leader and singer Kate Coleman.

This is an intriguing collection of music. It's interesting to note that music is a secondary career choice for Chris St. John.

In some ways just knowing the background of Fly Tchaco (born Leye Felicite Martin) prepares you for what you are about to hear.

The moniker "Twelve Days in June" is a pseudonym for singer-songwriter Dave Hulegaard. Here he's given us an intriguing album that is a little bit of a mixed bag.

This is the second album from Until The Sun, and I have to say that it's a pretty perfect collection of blues laden music.

When I read that this album features classical music done on electric guitar, I thought that it might land under prog rock.

The music on this set was all released on Feisted Records originally. That label wasn't really known as a rock and roll label, but rather for crooner and pop music.

I have to say that I'm probably not the target demographic for this set. For one thing, the older pop-oriented music on here is often not really my kind of taste.

The sound of this Minneapolis-based act, at least as demonstrated by this two song EP is really unique and hard to pin down.

I have to admit to never really being a big fan of Canned Heat. I could always appreciate their contribution to music, and I like their stuff just fine.

Krissy Matthews is largely considered a blues artist, but I'd say that he really transcends that.

I should mention at the onset that, although I don't really play much anymore, I've always been a bass player.

This is sort of a mixed bag. Parts of it are quite good, while other aspects leave a lot to be desired. The best part of this is the lead up to the Dark Side of the Moon coverage.

I really enjoy this documentary. It does a good job of laying out the history of Queen.
