Ian Parry's first new solo album in 10 years arrives with a bevy of solid players behind him. The lineup reads a bit more like a Consortium Project album. Kamelot's Casey Grillo and Vanden Plas' Andreas Lill handle the drums while Vanden Plas guitari...

Second album from this rather unusual German band originally released by Telefunken in 1972. While definitely a prog band they went the folk direction. The band used electric instruments for certain but the emphasis is on flute, cello, violin, and gu...
