The re-release of yet another diamond in Europrog’s chamber of obscurities has been brewing for quite some time. Circumvision, the sole progeny of Dutch progsters’ Kracq, is a typical case of atypical music genius that emerges at the vanishing point where diverse musical backgrounds coalesce on a shared appreciation for the genre’s fetishized father-figures. This is a fine blend of organ-driven prog, with sufficient infusions of electronics and avant-gardisms, just enough to bar them from crossing over to the vast unknown. Overladen with mood swings that will suck your aura into mayhemic magnetism of relentless decadence, as Husting’s vocals attempt to impose a manageable range of ups and downs amidst the underlying eccentric dialogue between Vermijs’ synths and van der Heijden’s rollingly snappy bass-lines, Circumvision is a gripping experience from start to finish. We can hardly call this a ‘re-issue’. This is an original release in a different cartographic arrangement of an ever shifting force-field. To make this statement more palpable, Circumvision’s new release is equipped with a slightly redesigned (and band-approved) lyrics sheet, and a bonus cd that is packed with soundboard recordings from one of the very few live shows that were performed by Kracq in 1978, as well as two previously unreleased songs that set the listener on the path for a wholly different sonic adventure into what might be described as kosmische acid folktronica (picture Gilli Smith jamming with Moondog and Bruce Haack at the same time).

Quintet, Kimio Mizutani, Terry Brooks & Strange, Necronomicon, The Spoils of War, Electric Orange After Mirthrandir, Lift and Easter Island, we continue bringing you the cream of the crop from U.S. Prog Classics, with the reissue of ID’s 1977 album Where Are We Going. In this case, you can guess the music from the band’s name, a regression into the depths of the unconscious (Freud’s antecedent term for ID in the structure of the cunning invention called ‘psyche’) via an interminable sonic evocation. The highlights of the album are the 2 long parts of the homonymous track covering most of the 2 sides. Although the prog progression at the beginning of Where Are We G...

Although they performed regularly in staple venues and events such Ashton Court Festival (1978), the Rock Garden, the ICA in London, Glastonbury and Stonehenge between 1974-1979, they only recorded a one-off gem in 1977, The World At Mind’s End. A testament to its members’ musical virtuosity, including Steve Robshaw’s outstanding guitar-playing skills, flutework and violin, Paul Todd on soprano saxophone and Howard Scarr’s expertise wit...
