Past Music Reviews
(WalThis re-discovered ‘80s rock, with Southern ‘70s influences, may have become dated, but it has done so with dignity.
Vlada is back, with a more personal brand of melodic jazz/gospel/pop and a decade of new life-experience to back it up
Von Boehm plays bass with stunning suppleness and dexterity, all the while maintaining that all-important bottom end…
This is a fine album for musicians, yes - but also for those of us that don't understand the mechanics of playing but love to listen to a band cook.
For anyone who likes minimalism, this choral collection of psalms and folk songs really is essential listening.
No one does Pärt like ECM and these seventeen voices create a collection as peaceful and pure as any I have yet heard.

He’s back, progging and free of vocals - at last. 
Beyond the Shadow of a Doubt has great message.
