Two years after the band’s great With Us Until You’re Dead, which came along as an emotional manifest fusing orchestral, electronic, sentimental and progressive elements, London-based collective ARCHIVE is about to strengthen their inventive genius and creativeness. Axiom, their epic new album, features all the before mentioned characteristics, however adding a spiritual level full of haunting metaphors.

Ray Charles' explorations into country music were no mere dalliance. They have their genesis in "I'm Movin' On," the last record he made for Atlantic before moving on to ABC Paramount in 1960. But it was with the enormously successful Modern Sounds in Country & Western series of albums in 1962 (and the career making single "I Can't Stop Lovin' You") that made their mark, crossing over genre boundaries that were unthinkable at the time. An African-American doing hillbilly music was not a first, nor were uptown arrangements of hillbilly songs, but here was the Genius of Soul validating the music of the white working class, plain and simple.

Each of the four pieces on the album is a product of the Roscoe's tireless efforts to devise systems to articulate and capitalize on the tensions between composition and improvisation in both his own work and music as a practice at-large. Three of the four works ('Rub', 'Wha-Wha', and 'Frenzy House') are part of the 'Conversations for Orchestra' series, the history of which is described in detail in the liner notes for Mitchell's 2017 album Discussions (Wide Hive Records WH-0339). In brief, the 'Conversations' series consists of compositions which trace their genesis back to a suite of improvisations recorded by Mitchell, pianist Craig Taborn, and drummer Kikanju Baku in 2014 (which can be heard on the Wide Hive releases Conversations I and Conversations II).

Sublime, brilliant, beautiful progressive art rockers with a Canterbury vibe and masterful extended tracks. Elements of Caravan, Soft Machine and Fuchsia, recorded in a London and Dublin studio in 1973 for a planned LP that never happened. 15 minute tracks that allow the band and compositions to develop and expand in the best way, sheer unadulterated progressive genius. Marvelous Kid are named after a line from Kipling, and use the one L spelling. They gigged constantly with bands like The Groundhogs,Stackridge, Stonehouse, Gentle Giant, and included members from the legendary Grannie and also Patto. Anyone into Genesis, Soft Machine, Caravan, Camel, Fuchsia, 25 Views Of Worthing et al should check this out. It's utterly brilliant extended prog. Seelie Court will issue more of their recordings soon. It's a joy to listen to this 100% authentic prog rock, from original reels.
