about

I can't get on with the metaphor of life as a journey, as a linear path from beginning to end. Doesn't fit with my experience. The feel of life as circular, as the same things come round, perhaps in different guise, is much more realistic. And, because each return is never quite the same, that perhaps we've learnt something on a previous revolution, the metaphor of the spiral seems to be appropriate. Each piece on this album goes through its own material time and again, but each time with a slightly different take. At each moment, one foot in the familiar, one foot in the fresh.

Crossing the Divide
by The Benzene Ring

Beautiful, understated prog. Nice range of moods, gorgeous textures, unorthodox approach to harmony & irregular beats, but all so perfectly controlled. Gorgeous. Musiquallan

Live At The Victoria
by Thumpermonkey

One of my favourite contemporary bands. Love the variety of textures and killer riffs (Wheezyboy of course, but also the contrasting Veldt). Great live vibe. Musiquallan

The Clockwork Universe
by Thieves' Kitchen

Really brilliant stuff, intricate as their music always is, but never unmusical. Listeners make comparisons with the Canterbury scene, but this is far more focused. Blows me away. Musiquallan
