Marty Willson-Piper is the former guitarist of The Church. Though I’m bummed he left the band, he’s still making some rather solid music these days.
[Music] Maraca – Time In Time
I’m lucky enough to be served some amazing dishes by Premek over at Indies Records from Prague. The Czech Republic’s coolest label put out another gem with Maraca, who produce a type of indie rock that should be appealing to a wide audience. Mellow and very tasteful stuff, especially with the fine vocal work turned in by Gabriela Vermelho.
[Music] New CD “Piotrology” Lukáš Oravec Quartet
https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/new-cd-piotrology-lukas-oravec-quartet/widget.js/
Our friend, the Slovak band leader and trumpeter Lukáš Oravec, has a new release forthcoming, and he is crowd-funding it. We wish him much success!
[Music] In Spe – Mare Vitrum
In Spe were one of the great progressive rock bands to come out of the former Soviet Republic of Estonia. This work features the talents of Erkki-Sven Tüür, who would eventually become a contemporary classical composer of note.

[Music] Sinikka Langeland – The Rose
Norwegian singer Sinikka Langeland is more proof, as if you need it, that ECM can do little wrong. Kantele music in a jazz idiom. Stunning.
[Music] Syd Barrett: the genius who almost was – a classic profile by Nick Kent
I’ll be the first to admit that I loathed Pink Floyd’s work after The Dark Side Of The Moon, and up until their rather charming final album, The Endless River. Syd Barrett, to many die-hards, was the heart and soul of the band. Nick Kent profiles the man over at The Guardian.
[Music] Various Artists – Kollektive 1
An impressive compilation from a new label out of Tehran, Iran, a place not normally associated with experimental music. What’s more impressive is that this comp covers a mix of local and international talent. Bitrot Records are certainly worth a continued look.
[Music] The Diplomatic Core – Valentine Vivisection – 07012016
New work by my friend Christopher Morley (Mr. The Diplomatic Core himself). Bombastic, interesting rhythms. I’m looking forward to a full album of this.
