This album is much easier to listen to than it is to define or classify.

I have to say that if I was basing classification strictly on the musical style, it's unlikely this would have landed under prog.

This 1972 album from Barclay James Harvest gets a major deluxe release here. This set includes four CDs and a Blu-Ray disc.

You can't go wrong with projects from Doctor Space. That's the pseudonym used by Scott Heller in his musical projects.

This is the second release from this act to across my desk for reviewing. I'm a fan of Gayle Ellett in pretty much every project he's involved with, starting with Djam Karet.

The Fearless album, from 1971 saw John Wetton joining Family. It also saw the sound of the group change to some degree.

I've previously reviewed two other albums from this act. Their brand of progressive rock does a great job of merging modern and classic prog sounds.

This instrumental album features a nice range of sounds.

This is prog, but perhaps not in the way you might expect.

I've pretty consistently put Bob Holz releases under progressive rock because that's where we land fusion.

I've reviewed the CD version of this album in this edition of Music Street Journal, but also want to look at this awesome double record set. 

You just can't go wrong with releases from Andy Jackson. This new album is made up of instrumental pieces built around specific modal scales.

This double CD set is intriguing It's all jazz-based, but it's more often than not experimental and freeform. This is probably not quite like anything you've ever heard before.

This ;latest disc from Poor Genetic Material continues their tradition of creating strong progressive rock.

This double live CD set from Renaissance captures a show from October of 2022.

I generally put Anthony W. Rogers under progressive rock, as I did this release. That's because of the experimental, sonically challenging aspect of the music.

This is a remix version of an album that was released in 2013. I really love that original album.

I have liked and reviewed several previous albums from this act. I always put them under progressive rock. I'm doing that here.

One of three double CD sets of Stackridge reissues I'm reviewing in this issue, I think this is more pure prog rock than the others.

Mr. Mick was the final album from the original version of Stackridge. They recorded it as a concept piece, and presented it to their record label.

As the title might suggest, this band is a very definitively British act. This was their third album, released in 1974.

I previously reviewed another set from Quinn Sternberg. Like that one, this lands under prog because it's essentially fusion.

You know you are in for a treat when the lineup of the group is Markus Reuter, Pat Mastelotto and Trey Gunn. You can also figure that the music will be along the lines of King Crimson and Stick Men.

This a newly reissued edition of the 2001 album from this Belgian metal act.

I have to admit that this was my first foray into Pirate metal. So, I can't tell you how these guys compare to other bands within the subgenre.

This is a double CD set, but it is basically a single CD with a bonus EP included.

I have landed this album under heavy metal.

This is a worthwhile collection, but it has some real issues. Part of that starts with the whole titling aspect. 

This collection from Bear Family seems pretty self-explanatory at first.

On the one hand, there is some range here. On the other, there aren't enough songs that vary things up.

This album has a great retro vibe. Yet, there are also fresh things here.

This is an intriguing and unique album with a captivating history. It sounds like it could have been released in the heady days of the 1960s.

The Great Kat seems to always defy expectations. She certainly came to the attention of many, myself included, for her classical-leaning shred guitar playing.

Folk music, jazz and more merge on this album. The sound here is more fully tied to mellower modes of earlier eras.

This set is sort of a career-spanning release focused on Ken Hensley. The man was first known for his work with Uriah Heep, but he created quite a catalog of music over the years beyond those origins.

King's X, in my opinion, is one of the most under-rated bands out there. Their sound is compelling and catchy and yet meaty and quirky.

These guys advertise themselves as a jam band. I think they are more alternative based than that suggests.

Kostas Patsiotis is responsible for the compositions and arrangements on this album. He also plays the doublebass parts here.

With healthy helpings of Latin music, jazz and more, this is an entertaining set that works reasonably well from start to finish.

I had not heard this band before. Apparently they are considered punk rock.

This various hits collection is pretty effective. While there are some tracks that have some different leanings, overall this is old-school rock and roll.

This is a unique release. Each artist here contributed two songs to this collection.

This collection of music from the 1930s and 40s era of jazz focuses on holiday music that's often overlooked in collections like this.

This collection from Bear Family features a consistent mix of songs.

This is a unique set of songs. It's made up of originals of songs Wanda Jackson covered, and covers of her songs by other artists.

Wellbeloved might sound like it would be the name of a band. It's really the name of the main guy here, David Wellbeloved.

This is a duo consisting of Dave Dvorak and J.J. Benson. The music here moves from folk to alternative rock, pop oriented and much more.

I can't heap enough praise on this set. Everything about it is top-notch. 

This double DVD set from Led Zeppelin was released 20 years ago. I just heard about it for the first time recently and had to get it. 

There are Little Feat fans who feel that the band ceased to be Little Feat once Lowell George was gone. 

You can’t go wrong with an Øresund Space Collective performance.
