New #review today: "We have previously encountered cellist #JanelLeppin as half of #JanelAndAnthony, as leader of #EnsembleVolcanicAsh, and as a member of Skullcap, but she’s got a lot more going on than just those releases. 2026 sees Cuneiform releasing a pair of albums under her name: Slowly Melting is a true solo effort, while Pluto in Aquarius is another album with Ensemble Volcanic Ash." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #AvantRock #ExperimentalMusic #AnthonyPirog #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/janel-leppin-slowly-melting-pluto-in-aquarius-2.html
New #review today: "Somewhere around October 2007, three members of #BirdsongsOfTheMesozoic launched this side project to showcase their improvisational interests. At that time, the trio began a residency at Outpost 186, a gallery in Cambridge, MA, and for each session the trio would invite a guest player to join them for completely #ImprovisedMusic. The trio took the name #bmez as a recognition of their roots." #ExposeOnline #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/bmez-under-circuitous-skies-3.html
New #review today: "We have seen master guitarist #FrédériclÉpée in a variety of settings, from the full-on #ProgressiveRock of his band Shylock in the 70s, to Philharmonie in the 90s, to the instrumental guitar rock of Yang in the post-2000 era, to the occasional solo album released along that same trajectory. His latest solo release Contre Courant is cut from a similar cloth as his 2019 album The Empty Room." #ExposeOnline #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/frederic-lEpee-contre-courant-3.html
New #review today: "With #MikeJohnson’s solo debut, fans of #AvantProgressive rock have a lot to celebrate. Johnson is, of course, the driving force behind all those wonderful #ThinkingPlague albums, and The Gardens of Loss has many qualities in common with those, starting with #ElaineDiFalco’s vocals. Johnson’s compositional sense is entirely intact, only expanded with more diverse instrumentation." #ExposeOnline #CuneiformRecords #ProgressiveRock #ChamberRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/mike-johnson-the-gardens-of-loss-2.html
New #review today: "#BalloonsForTheDog was a band based in suburban Maryland that was active in the late 70s and early 80s. Their combination of #ArtRock, conceptual theater, humor, and social commentary drew them a cadre of loyal fans but was just too weird for mainstream audiences." #ExposeOnline #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/balloons-for-the-dog-wicked-forms-of-old-snow-2.html

A Love Supreme & Meditations by A Love Supreme Electric, released on Cuneiform Records in 2020.

Some records tell you what’s what. That’s not a bad thing: there’s a place in music for reportage, for commentary, for what’s going on. But A Love Supreme Electric, the collaborative project between Vinny Golia, John Hanrahan, Henry Kaiser, Wayne Peet, Mike Watt, and John Coltrane’s immortal spirit, starts from a different place.
“What if?” it asks.

In fact, ALSE asks “What if?” over and over again, joyously interrogating the twin templates of Coltrane’s A Love Supreme and Meditations from a kaleidoscopic array of angles. All five performers weigh in with their solo perspective, but the magic is that the listener is invited to contribute, too. ...

New #review today: "It’s been a while since the last #RevolutionarySnakeEnsemble album, Live Snakes from 2014, but #KenField and company are back with Serpentine, which was also recorded live (mostly). But with music like this, live is probably the way to go." #ExposeOnline #jazz #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/revolutionary-snake-ensemble-serpentine-2.html
New #review today: "Hotel Pupik continues the changes in #LedBib that we saw on It’s Morning. The group is now a quartet, with the dual-saxophone front line of #PeteGrogan and #ChrisWilliams that has defined them since the beginning fronting just bass and drums. With the departure of keyboards, the arrangements are a bit less dense, and they continue the focus on sparser and more atmospheric sounds." #ExposeOnline #CuneiformRecords #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/led-bib-hotel-pupik-2.html
New #review today: "The first #ForgasBandPhenomenon album, Roue Libre, came out in 1997, and we’ve been covering them with each subsequent album. But before forming the Phenomenon, #PatrickForgas put out three albums under the name Forgas, and now #CuneiformRecords has brought us a reissue of the very first one, Cocktail, originally released in 1977." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #JazzRock #CanterburySound http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/forgas-cocktail-2.html
New #review today: "It might be easy to think of #Skullcap as #JanelAndAnthony plus one — that one being drummer / percussionist #MikeKuhl — but the personnel is where the similarities end, as this trio forms a complete group effort, from the bold compositions to the arrangements and execution." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #ProgressiveRock #JanelLeppin #AnthonyPirog #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/skullcap-snakes-of-albuquerque-3.html
