ZAPPA, FRANK - Return Of The Son Of Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar (1981)

2008-09-06 02:08:13 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...lengthy affair, with Frank presenting a good dynamic range on the guitar, from faster and more furious playing, to some quieter, less distorted slower stuff too. There were even points in the song where I ended up focusing a bit more on Vinnie Colaiuta's drum work, which of course serves to highlight the excellent sense of band dynamics I...

...lengthy filler and deliver Anywhere But Here, a 29 minute, 7-song LP that somehow successfully gives the same satisfaction a good hour-long album would. Anywhere But Here is a concentrated effort of contrast that is able to escape the confines of contradiction thanks in part (a big part) to the breathy, fluttery and heavily jazz influenced...

...lengthy instrumental Past Present And Future, you just know youre on different trip than usual, with the huge bass and guitar duo scaling up and down the drama Spanish with Flamenco/Corrida chords, before taking off in an unexpected brass rock joyful explosion, lasting the next 8 minutes (out of almost 10). Very different in the following...

...lengthy, heavily annotated essay about Miller and The O.S.Q., finished with a lovely parchment belly band The disc itself includes the band's complete recorded output (both with Miller and from the 1928 session) in amazingly crisp and clean transfers; no small feat when you bear in mind that high quality copies of these recordings are at a...

NICE, THE - The Nice (1969) [rated 3/5 by Easy Livin]

2008-01-13 11:28:12 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...lengthy live tracks. The band decided this time to produce themselves, a brave decision which, perhaps surprisingly, was to prove to be a correct one From a song writing point of view, it seems the band were experiencing significant writers block, the tracks here being a selection of reworkings and covers. As the title of the opening Azrael...

RETURN TO FOREVER - Light As A Feather (1972)

2008-05-02 10:47:54 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...lengthy title track, which might just be Clarke first composition Opening on the most standard jazz track of the album, the bossa nova Youre Everything, where Purim and Corea dominate the propos, but overall, this might be the least interesting track on the album. The 11 mins Clarke-penned title track starts pretty much on the same mode, but...

...lengthy pieces (the title track is nearly 11 minutes, while "Janus at the Gates of War" and "The Turquoise Mountain" run nearly 13 and 16 minutes each), but even those are based around catchier melodies than you're likely to find on, say, an Emerson, Lake & Palmer album. Peter Giles of Giles, Giles & Fripp, the band that mutated into King...

BARDENS, PETER - The Answer (1970)

2008-05-17 13:22:59 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...lengthy tracks included, the longest running to over 13 minutes The three tracks on side one range from blues, through decent rock, to lengthy improvisation. The opening title track includes some strange vocal harmonies which are admirable for their originality, but in my opinion do not really work. The 10½ minute I can't remember is based...

...lengthy lines of tenor over Taborn's bubbling rhodes and Rogers' probing and angular guitar while Nate Smith keeps the engine room cooking. An exploratory feel pervades the other up-tempo cuts on the album as well. Much like the Dave Holland Quintet (which both Potter and Smith are a part of) the lengthy improvisations become journeys into...

WATERTOUCH - We Never Went To The Moon (2005) [rated 3/5 by ClemofNazareth]

2008-01-03 21:23:52 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...lengthy instrumentals could cause some to make that leap. There are also a couple places on the album with almost jig-like arrangements, though these are almost entirely manufactured by the
