Hey Hey Rise Up [Limited Edition]Pink FloydPink Floyd supporting Ukraine
A beautiful Pink Floyd song. The sound is typical for the late Pink Floyd area without the influence of Roger Waters, who left the band and Richard Whright, who already died. May he rest in peace.

Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan -Tsuiokuhen Original SoundtrackAnimation SoundtrackGood 2 hear the existing classics.
Good memories in a package. The show was great regardless of its background. The Director’s Cut is the way to go. I don’t see why it’s not taken over the 4 episode split standard. The same goes for Reflection/Seiso-hen.

Have You Got it Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd [Regular Edition]Syd BarretA film about the roots of Pink Floyd
A very nice film about the early days of Pink Floyd and the band founder, who creates the psychodelic sound with song textes.

All Things Must Pass [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD] [Limited Release]George HarrisonThis album is incredible
It is a paean to having too much ambition, too much to say, to fit into a confined space, and for this reason alone it remains one of the most important capital-A Albums of all time.

Tanglewood Music Center 1970The WhoAnother Great Who Live Recording
I am a huge who fan. Especially their live recordings. This 1970 recording has been around for a while especially on YouTube. So I bought this as soon as I saw it available on CDJapan. Highly recommended.

Zabriskie Point [Priced-down Reissue]MovieGreat soundtrack!
The film is a typical film of the Woodstock time around the 1970. Parts of the soundtrack are by Pink Floyd, which made it interesting.

Rumours [SACD Hybrid]Fleetwood MacRumours (SACD)
Did a comparison between this SACD album vs normal CD. Very good audio quality on the SACD. Highly recommended for those who prefer collections

National Health [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD]National HealthVery Modern, not always warm
Canterbury, for many people, it's only the avant-garde jazz of Soft Machine and the British pop of Caravan, but you've to never forget the fantastic National Health. National Health is, in my opinion, the most impressive.
-
Of Queues And Cures [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD]National HealthAn excellent album
It's probably one of the most important records in the history of Canterbury Scene. It pushes the boundaries of Progressive Rock, Jazz Fusion, and as mentioned, Canterbury Scene in a way bands in the late 70s and early 80s just weren't doing. It also blows my mind how because despite the album having fantastic musicianship, it was recorded in only one month. In the end I would highly recommend to fans of energetic jazz, and overall just Progressive Rock fans. It has everything a fan of that stuff would want, and would probably open a door to anyone who isn't.

Another Fine Tune You've Got Me Into [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD]GilgameshIntelligent, well played compositions
Very calm, soft and beautiful music from this excellent band. Short themes, all instrumental, with very good playing from all the band's members. If you like the Canterbury scene, this album is a must.

Te wo Tsunagu KoraJapanese Moviechildhood masterpiece
In Te wo Tsunagu Kora a young autistic boy obsessed with repetitive tasks who is seen as a burden by his teacher switches schools to one where the teacher is more understanding of his quirks, then faces bullying when another new student arrives. His good nature makes him shrug off everything, which in turn teaches the other kids lessons about life and friendship. The finale is uplifting and fun as his class competes against another in a sumo tournament and his calm, unassuming nature comes in handy to great comic effect. I would rank this among the great Japanese childhood films on par with the works of Hiroshi Shimizu.

Less Is MoreMarillionThis is an undeniably charming release
I think they have done a fine job, and, if the intent was to make people reexamine the back catalogue with a fresh approach, it has most certainly succeeded in doing so.

Fantastic Voyage [CD + 2Blu-ray]FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE80s pop perfection
Fantastic Voyage is a fantastic album that will put a big smile on your face every time you listen to it. Channeling the sounds of the 80s- Duran Duran, Cyndi Lauper, etc.- the Fantastics do everything right on this disc. High Fever is not only a great song, but the video is a piece of celebratory pop-art and in this version of the release you get it and the other videos from the album on a blu ray to watch over and over again; the cinematography during the dance solo toward the end is incredible *chef's kiss*. Also included in this release is a live blu ray that is notably slower paced in the editing so you get to see their dance routines more clearly than you get on the discs for the bigger stadium shows. This disc has rapidly climbed up into my personal 10 best of all time right behind X Japan's Dahlia and each listen i doubt it will get unseated any time soon.

Is This the Life We Really Want?Roger WatersWaters' best solo album
A relief to find such a decent and worthwhile Roger Waters solo album in 2017 that is a more than worthy addition to his body of work.
-
Gryphon [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD]GryphonA superb debut album from a folk band
The group's eponymous debut is by far their most enjoyable partly because of the musicians refusal to take anything they do too seriously while still displaying serious musical chops. And make no mistake - all four musicians are absolute virtuosos. A wonderful album.
-
Bluebell Wood [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD]Big SleepBluebell Wood is a bumpy masterpiece
An interesting and rather unique blend of psychedelic pop and proto-prog. The music is stately and serious, with inventive string arrangements, good piano and organ, as well as some timely guitar. The music may often sound nice and sweet but there is an undercurrent of tension and menace in the arrangements. The album is nearly perfect.
-
F E A RMarillionA magnificent prog band
Most importantly, they show that there is no limit to true creativity and you don't have to reinvent the wheel to retain freshness and originality: an expression of true artistry will resonate with the listener regardless of genre conventions and the baggage of the past. Such is "F.E.A.R", an original album that doesn't try to be anything else but itself and succeeds in being a masterpiece.
