Review by Oleg Trukhanovich

A very interesting Peter Banks solo album album for the guitar oriented progheads, with Dutch guitar hero Jan Akkerman, what a thrill!

Isao Suzuki's Blow Up is virtuosity and class all rolled up into one. A great combination of upbeat blues and mellow grooves!

The trio sounds better than ever, simply magical!! Wonderful music recorded in outstanding quality!!

Years from now, this trio will still be held in great esteem as one of the greatest piano trios ever to perform. That was well established on the first two Trilogy projects. Trilogy 3 is just further proof.

This is a truly fine hard rock record and deserves to be up there with the other great rock of the time – or any time. It took all of the heaviness of the day but managed to put a different slant on it and this continued with many fine albums.

If your Japanese jazz collection is lacking a little, you might want to pick up Orang-Utan. It is a session of thoughtful, explorative free jazz that leans at times into fusion flavours.

This refreshed Apostrophe (') - with the best-sounding version of the album yet in both stereo and surround - makes for another potent entry in the Zappa discography.

Imagine, if you will, a delicious shaken and stirred cocktail of Van der Graaf Generator in glorious combination with Hatfield & the North and that's the kind of unique album that The Web have woven here. "I Spider" is an album full of constant surprises. Hear it for yourself.

Hair Of The Dog is a must-have for any hard rock music fan. Its combination of hard-hitting rockers and heartfelt ballads makes it a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences decades after its release and Nazareth's signature sound and powerful performances ensure that this album remains a standout in their discography and a cornerstone of 1970s rock music.

Girl Talk is an essential listen for jazz enthusiasts, celebrated for its groundbreaking sound engineering and the profound artistry of the Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio.

Despite his years, Jon's voice still shines (a bit more frail than previously, but still bright and clear) and this set of songs are great and work beautifully throughout the album. Altogether, a wonderful, uplifting listen that is bound to put a smile on your face and warmth in your heart, especially if you are a fan of the glory days of Yes.

Jones’ multiple talents, warmth, and versatility have made her one of the most successful artists of the past two decades. This is a summation of some of her best material delivered organically, unfiltered, and stripped down by her core elite bandmates. It’s an unquestionably winning combination that will keep Jones’ star beaming as bright as it ever has.

This is an essential for fans of symphonic prog and of The Flower Kings. A great song selection that includes recent and old classics.

This album is a fine reminder of what a talented musician he is. Twentyfour is a compelling addition to Al Di Meola’s discography, reflecting his versatility and depth as a musician and composer. It offers something for everyone, from long-time fans to new listeners.

I think the main value of Borboletta is in it's atmosphere! Starting from very first sound, it's relaxed and very warm album. Album is in the same key as Caravanserai, but is less focused and concentrated. And more relaxed. In fact, the music here is something on the edge between latin-fusion and latin-world-pop. But all atmosphere still catching you, and you can feel really pleasant waves coming from that music. I believe, that Borboletta closes Santatna's classic great albums collection.

Listening to the remix is like hearing this album for the first time all over again. The clarity, the depth, and the power of the mix are breathtaking. Tracks like “Liar” and “Keep Yourself Alive” are monumental in scope, with the drums and guitars brought to the forefront in a way that truly honors the band’s original intent. Freddie Mercury sounds as timeless and emotive as ever. The remix enhances the brilliance of his performance. Queen’s debut album is more than just a rock record — it’s a glimpse into the raw, unfiltered genius of a band on the brink of greatness.

There's nothing quite like hearing a group of master musicians (and friends) getting together and just having a good blow. Steve Gadd really gets up for this.

David Gilmour presents more of that Guitar magic. Intoxicating melodious compositions with soaring guitar solos, beautiful introspection and optimism in the lyrics. David Gilmour's voice and talent are still shining brightly!

It’s undoubtedly an intriguing album, its diverse nature being just one of its strengths; indeed at times it’s captivating to the point of motivating you to hear more of Kuhn’s oeuvre.

With this release, Taylor and associates pursue a spacious format, featuring the leader's penchant for melding a sense of optimism with joy and sadness throughout the body of his works.
