[Review] Procol Harum: Exotic Birds and Fruit (1974)
A heavier and darker album than Grand Hotel, but one definitely worth checking out.
[Review] Adam and the Ants: Kings of the Wild Frontier (1980)
Antmusic for sex people and sexmusic for ant people!
[Review] The J. Geils Band (1970)
Whether the second coming of The Rolling Stones or the third coming of Otis Rush, you’ll just be glad you came.
Jethro Tull: “Inside” (1970)
A song that probably could have benefited from better promotion, but never destined for the Top 20.

Talking Heads: “Burning Down the House” (1983)

[Review] Peter Banks: Instinct (1994)
A modern instrumental rock record with jazzy and new age overtones, from the Yes/Flash guitarist.
[Review] Robin Trower: In City Dreams (1977)
Now expanded to a quartet, this is a dreamier and more soulful spin on the band’s psychedelic blues-rock.
Supertramp: “Give A Little Bit” (1977)
A little bit of their fifth album goes a long way, nearly topping the charts in the Netherlands.

Their third album is a high-water mark that features their warmest, loveliest music to date.

The Beatles are properly introduced to American audiences with a repackage of their debut album.

It’s an excellent bird, it’s a crashing plane, it’s… superman!

Another symphony of circuity without a single hair out of place.
