Jakko M. Jakszyk: Waves Sweep the Sand
All About Jazz (Free subscription) | 11/20/2009
It's rare that an album of outtakes and rejected music not only succeeds, but actually hangs together as a cohesive work in its own right. As the only member of 21st Century Schizoid Band (performing late-1960s/early-1970s-era Crimson repertoire) who wasn't a King Crimson alum, Jakko M. Jakszyk not only handled the daunting challenge of Crimson co-founder {{Robert Fripp = 16099}}'s guitar parts, but...

The Quiet Man Returns - David Sylvian
Rob's Record Reviews And That (Free subscription) | 11/19/2009
I’ve been an on and off fan of David Sylvian for the past 20 years or so and it now seems that he has a new album out - Manofon, not that you’d notice as it doesn’t seem to be advertised (or played) anywhere and only made it onto his website a month after its release. This still is from a video of one of the tracks, Small Metal Gods - play it and try to count the tiny, spooky planes;...

The Humans - We Are The Humans
Spacerock Reviews (Free subscription) | 11/14/2009
A couple of weeks back I had the pleasure of half an hour’s telephone interview with Toyah Willcox for a forthcoming magazine feature, which gave me the opportunity to ramble around Toyah’s classic output and talk to her about her current project, the vocals and bass focused trio The Humans. Toyah’s publicist was kind enough to send over copies of The Humans’ debut album We...

King Crimson: In the Court of the Crimson King (40th Anniversary Series)
All About Jazz (Free subscription) | 11/14/2009
King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King (40th Anniversary Series) Discipline Global Mobile 2009 It was, quite simply, a sound that shook the music world. When King Crimson emerged from the dust of the considerably more oblique and largely absurd trio of Giles, Giles and Fripp--whose one release, The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp (Deram, 1968), was aptly titled--nobody could have...

November 10 ~ I'm Thankful For . . .
Eat Real (Free subscription) | 11/11/2009
Music. Specifically, right now, the music that's scrolling through my little hand-me-down iPod. My iPod is not fancy ~ it's an aging Nano that one of my kids upgraded from ~ but when I'm standing in front of a sink (and countertop and baker's bench and stove) full of dishes at the end of a long day and the last thing I feel like doing is getting busy with the sponge, a little music makes all the difference....

Dennis Dutton’s Arts & Letters Daily has a heap o’ links, and Ross Douthat has a good column. Let’s party like it’s 1989 with songs about the Berlin Wall: David Bowie: Heroes, 1977: Video / Lyrics (and here’s a terrific live version video, supposedly from a show in Berlin in 2002; it doesn’t have as much of [...]

Dirty Projectors @ Neumos
Line Out (Free subscription) | 11/05/2009
I still can’t get my head around Dirty Projectors ’ madly growing popularity. Don’t get me wrong: I’m happy a band with such a thorny sound can pack a club like Neumos (I arrived just as the band were walking onstage and instantly hit a solid wall of humanity). But when you break down the group’s component parts, they don’t add up to typical ’00s commercial...

King Crimson - Lizard 40th Anniversary Series Review
:: www.darrenlock.com :: (Free subscription) | 10/28/2009
One could call "Lizard" the unloved bastard off-spring of the Crimson King. Unloved, ignored, and reviled, even by Robert Fripp himself, it is an album that has had a hard time of it. It's probably because this line-up never toured...

CD Review: King Crimson, “Red”
Popdose (Free subscription) | 10/20/2009
Out of the rarefied list of truly classic progressive rock bands, King Crimson stands as the thorniest of the lot. You can ask someone on the street to name a Genesis song and they should be able to oblige. A Yes song, maybe. King Crimson? Not hardly. And yet of those three names, it is [...]
