TPA CD Review: Jump – Over The Top

Jump – Over The Top

...This band are all about the songs and are well versed in their craft, the result being a highly listenable album of true quality. The mastery with which the words are deployed is magnificent. Is it prog? Does it matter? As a piece of work Over the Top is a wonderful collection of songs that bears repeated listens. Do yourself a favour.

TPA CD Review: Cross & Quinn – Cold Sky Blue

...Overall this is a beautifully put together release that is a must for anyone with a fondness for Cross’ playing. Sean Quinn has done well in his production to ensure that the often sparse elements retain a vibrancy that allows the individual contributions to shine and this is another slice of mature music making courtesy of Esoteric’s Antenna label. Thought provoking yet relaxing, Cold Sky Blue is a highly enjoyable listen, particularly through a decent hi-fi.

AppleSmell Colour – Unscrupulousness

...Highly recommended, AppleSmell Colour is a new name that deserves to be heard as Unscrupulousness is a fine and varied album that works well at whatever style it aims for; quiet jazzy influenced acoustic segments, rollicking Krimson workouts, sweeping symphonic soundscapes, they nail it all with superb playing and the wonderful voice of Uri Mas.
