Even though they started out on Musea, EGOBAND is another Mellow Records Italian obscurity. What does that mean? It means it's hard to find band information. But there is enough to paint a picture. The first album's lineup consisted of Alessandro Accordino on vocals and keyboards,
Fabio Cioni on drums,
Massimo Fava on guitars, and Alfonso Capasso on bass. However, only Accordino and Capasso would be consistent with the group over its four-album career. This, along with the fact that there were no live efforts, leads to speculation that EGOBAND may have been more of a project than a band (a la Steely Dan). They went through interesting changes over their career. Starting out purely Neo, with heavy AOR tendencies, and ending up almost in Canterbury territory by the time they got to "Earth"…

Brutal and fast death-metal with twisted double-tracked vocals from Kam Lee, resulting in a cross between Mercyful Fate and Death. The deadliest of death-metal always comes from Florida, and this is no exception.

This is the 3rd and final album in a 3 CD set originally released on Txt recordings by Lee Norris and Matt Hillier as 'Plank and Ishq' and continues the journey through the land of the 'Crows An Wra' and mythical landscape of cornish radiophonic oscillations and Henge like vista's. Surfice to say its a fairly odd work at times, at other times light and floaty like a cornish opiate cream tea and dream like, detached, we cant use that word enough. The music was conjured from a mental space of freeform experimentation and fluid like acts of non conformity. It suits late night headphone excursions well and is its own work, something different and one for the collection, unique and a genuine work of art in some respects maybe as its uncontrived and seeks to just exist for its own sake.

This is the 2nd of a 3 disk CD set on Txt recordings of free form psychedelic inspired soundscapes and ambient pieces by Lee Norriss and Matt Hillier and Plank and Ishq and written in free form creative space.
The music and ambience harks back to the old days of 90's free form music where nothing was planned and the sonic worlds flowed out of the speakers. Its 'free music' for headphone tweakers, not written to impress or be perfect, not wrtten to be 'the best work', it was created to exist and paint a picture in a detached way and a colourfull one. Its what it is and unique and thats enough to warrant its existance.

UK band Red Bazar was formed back in 2007 by Paul Comerie, Andy Wilson and Mick Wilson. The outfit released two studio albums and one EP as an instrumental trio, but by 2013 the more frequent use of keyboards in their material led to the addition of keyboardist Gary Marsh towards the end of that year, and then collaborative work with composer and vocalist Peter Jones (Tiger Moth Tales) eventually led to him becoming a part of the band as well. "Tales from the Bookcase" is the first album by Red Bazar as a five-man strong unit, and was released by the UK label White Knight Records in the spring of 2016. This album provides a top-notch blend of neo and art prog, this garnered with some remarkable heavy AOR edge here and there. Furthermore "Tales From The Bookcase" marks a successfull step away from a pure instrumental approach.

Crows An Wra is the 1st in a 3 album collection of free form psychedelic inspired soundscapes and ambient pieces written in an experimental live flow using various studio exotica. Unique , colourfull with hidden layers and worlds of sound this music was written for deep immersive headphone listeners and people who like to float in mind space.
