News from the bottom of the barrel

by Toxenaris

supported by

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) The tag "counterpoint" attracted my attention - and this EP indeed is abounding in this old art. Counterpoint was very common in baroque and some pre-baroque music, and in the 70's, composers like Kenny Minnear, Keith Emerson, Jon Lord, and several others rediscovered it for rock music. I'd wish there was more counterpoint in today's prog, and that's why I love bands like "Advent", as well as releases like this one, which is a real gem in any respect. Favorite track: Palladium Oaks.

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
