I have a different issue of Abel Ganz's 'Gratuitous Flash' and it too, despite the open goal, has a disappointing cover. š Good album though.

I thought Ken's mic sound was really murky on this show. Maybe he needs to buy a new mic.

Great list. Just missed out on the Food Brain, but nabbed the Kanji Mori and preordered the Glass Hammer. Another great week of releases!

Thanks guys, more good stuff to check out!
Totally off topic here, but if you see this, Pete, can you tell me if you have done a Beardfish album ranking? Didnāt find it doing a search. If not, Iād like to see that. Since their latest album, I have been revisiting their entire catalog. Right now Comfort zone is my number one.
Anywho, carry on

The classic Italian reissue albums Ken mention are worth getting, especially the Flea – Topi O Uomini and Garybaldi – Astrolabio. Kenji Mori Quartet – Firebird is also good. Other new releases not mention but worth checking out (Dominic Sanderson – Blazing Revelations, Diego Banchero Trio – Gathered Lectures from a Lifetime, the Lab Experience S/T, Naxatras – V)

The new Tull is excellent until it gets to the 17 minute epic. I was stunned! The epic did not hold onto the quality of the rest of the album. Maybe it will grow on me?

Absolutely love Transiberiana and Orlando. Very much in the classic Banco RPI vein! Storie Invisibili much less so. Still good. I was hoping it would be much more like the first two in the trilogy.
