Dave Stryker: Blue Fire [The Van Gelder Session] (2026)

Here we find guitarist Dave Stryker and his trio of Jared Gold on organ and McClenty Hunter on drums, recording at Rudy Van Gelder’s famous studio (Van Gelder recorded almost every session on Blue Note Records from 1953 to 1967, participating in literally thousands of...

Carolyn Trowbridge: Found Memories (2026)

The vibraphone is an instrument which has never gained as much popularity as one might expect and is certainly not something I come across a great deal which is something I have always thought is a shame. In my youth was I was in a marching band and played the bell...

Blake Carpenter: Out Of The Darkness (2025)

Before I sat down to write this review I wondered what I had said when I reviewed his last album, ‘Roads’, so I checked it out and I gave a small smile when I saw I had said, “The result is something over which I am quite conflicted as while I enjoy the songs,...

Lloth: Archees Legeones [Ancient Legions] (2025)

Like many bands who have been around for any length of time, Lloth have had multiple line-ups, but their history includes a change of name, a sad passing, and then a change back. Lloth, were formed in Athens, Greece, 1995, when bassist/guitarist/keyboardist Tristessa...

Auburn: Behind the Scenes (2026)

The cover artwork is exceptionally clever, showing just how many sides there are to Liz Lenten, all of them different to the persona perceived by many when she is onstage. I can’t see a BEM (British Empire Medal) clearly on any of the figures behind the curtain, but I...

Mediaeval Baebes: The Spinning Wheel (2026)

I have been a fan of this wonderful vocal group since I first saw them perform at a festival some decades ago, and it is no surprise whatsoever to realise that this year is their 30th anniversary. Led by the wonderful Katharine Blake, who also writes all the material,...

Engorgement: They Rot Beneath Our Floor (2026)

British slam/brutal death metal outfit Engorgement having finally delivered their second album, some 14 years on from their debut, ‘Excruciating Intestinal Lacerations’. There have been some line-up shifts over the years, but founders Richard (bass) and singer Stu...

Death Dealer: Reign of Steel (2026)

Death Dealer are back with their fourth studio album, the second with the line-up of singer Sean Peck (Cage, The Three Tremors, Denner Shermann), guitarists Ross “The Boss” Friedman (Manowar, The Dictators, Shakin’ Street, Ross The Boss Band) and Stu Marshall...

Suffocation: Jesus Wept – The Roadrunner Years (2026)

The guys from Long Island felt that death metal was not brutal enough for them back at the end of the Eighties, and they created their own version, ‘slam’ metal, a version of death metal featuring characteristic 'breakdowns' that often prefaced a furious blastbeat or...

Thelonious Monk: Thelonious Himself (1957)

Originally released in 1957, this was actually Monk’s second solo piano album, although it was the first to be recorded for an American label (Riverside) and distributed in the States. It captures Monk in a reflective mood, which nearly 70 years after its recording...

THE OLD CASTLE (ITALY) Storie Nascoste

One step generally leads to another, and subsequent to discovering Paolo Pagliari’s charming solo album “Through the Eyes of a Child” that I had the pleasure of reviewing as well, good manners and common sense took over as I was sent the Old Castle discography (three...

ESP PROJECT (UK) Extra Sensory Perception

No beating around the bush, flaming or otherwise, ESP Project is one of my perennials, an ongoing love affair that began 11 years ago with the debut “Invisible Din” that had the luxury of having me fall head over heels (a la Tears for Fears!) with their style of...

Ian NEAL (UK) This Gemlike Flame

The Sheffield arranger, composer and multi-instrumentalist rises once again, landing  straight to the top of the Symphonic prog pedestal with another outstanding release that merits the attention of all prog fans, his sixth venture that includes last year’s 20th...

RUDZ-ODOJ (POLAND) Fight or Flight

Przemyslaw Rudz and Roman Odoj have teamed together to offer electronic prog with a swift kick in the backside , a beefy release that has more muscles than Arnold Schwarzenegger, recalling more early Ultravox/John Foxx, what with the thrilling bass propulsion and the...

JOJO RAZOR (USA) Eye of Clarion

Part of the Prog Rogue duties is the requirement to constantly scour and scroll the web for new horizons, be it reputed prog sites as well as prog radios, some like Progzilla UK where I even get to do some cameo appearances via my colleague Lazland. I also generally...

ASCETA (CHILE) The Fool Leading the Blind

Well, with a title like that, I just could not resist: Rodrigo Maccioni is certainly no fool and I am far from either blind, or deaf for that matter! Alejandro Vera handles the bassoon, Pascal Montenegro on English horn, Alfonso Vergara plays clarinets, Arianne Guerra...

AETHER (ITALY) III

Third album for these ‘ambient-jazz” pioneers from Italy , their previous work was a smashing success that I reviewed and thus enjoyed tremendously. As expresses in my review for “Trans-Neptunian Objects”, this quartet has sculpted a rather unique stylistic that bodes...

Jean-Pascal BOFFO (FRANCE) Inner World

Still going strong after all these years, especially in lieu of the fact that the preceding release was a smash by all accounts , as “In Spiral” (2022) was quite inspired and spirited, to say the least. Jean-Pascal Boffo is a veteran multi-instrumentalist , though...

WHAT”S GOIN’ ON

  • Chris Squire – Fish Out Of Water (50th Anniversary Edition)
    by Mel Allen on July 6, 2026 at 5:00 pm

    The prog legend Chris Squire was celebrated for his inventive and unmistakable bass work in Yes, but he truly delivered something special with his only proper solo album, released in November 1975. Strictly speaking, that’s not his only ‘solo’ outing…

  • Anthony Garone – OK, But Why?
    by Graham Thomas on July 5, 2026 at 5:00 pm

    Anthony Garone is a new name to me, but seeing that name praised by the likes of Robert Fripp, Steve Vai and Mike Keneally tends to make one want to investigate. OK, But Why? is his first full length album…

  • Kiki Dee & Carmelo Luggeri
    by Darren Walker on July 3, 2026 at 5:00 pm

    St George’s Venue, Hartlepool Friday, 5 June 2026 There are some artists that are part of our lives but more in the background of our minds than forever in our consciousness. Maybe you heard their hits long ago, still recognise…

  • Dick Van Der Heijde – Locked-In
    by Rob Fisher on July 2, 2026 at 5:00 pm

    When the promo arrived, I didn’t pay too much attention to the blurb. I downloaded the files and hit play. The opening chords of Blue Door came from nowhere: joyous, startling and immediately demanding attention. Heavy guitar chords call an…

  • John Mortimer – Holocaust
    by Basil Francis on July 1, 2026 at 5:00 pm

    Basil Francis: Hello John! Thank you for speaking to the Progressive Aspect. I first heard the term “New Wave of British Heavy Metal” (NWOBHM) whilst reviewing the Holocaust Vol 1 boxset, which was released back in 2023. Tell me about…
