Cagri Raydemir: Compulsion for Approval

Munich based multi-instrumentalist Cagri Raydemir goes for a more acoustic approach on his new EP Compulsion for Approval, featuring four songs about the condition humaine. Stripping things back does not mean that he foregoes his love for adventurous time signatures or unexpected rhythmic shifts.. He is still very much a musician's musician - not the "look, mom, no hands" kind, but more like showing what can be done with just a few notes besides offering multi-layered parts.

Raydemir is prone to soul-searching and being worried, which makes perfect sense in troubled times like these. His music serves as an outlet, giving voice to his concerns. As a one-man progressive band he stands out from the crowd. The general public will not be able to make hay of it, but anyone who is serious about music will find plenty of things to study and enjoy.

McLuhan: "Anomaly" reissued

One of most cherished leeftfield prog albums will be reissued on CD. McLuhan were an exceptional sextet, breaking all the rules and inventing some new ones on the four longform tracks on their sole album Anomaly, which was released in 1972. The bandmembers, who were students at the University of Illinois, named themselves after Canadian phhilosopher media theorist Marshall McLuhan.

Early live shows featured mixed-media footage as they served up a mix of free jazz, fusion and orchestral elements, most of them written by band leader David Wright. They sounded like nobody else back then, and five decades later they are still an underground favourite.

Garlen Lo: Country Boy, Country Girl

While singer-songwriter Garlen Lo sang about the perks of living in the Big Smoke on his previous single London Girls, he now dreams of living in a cute village with some animals. Country Boy, Country Girl is an idealized, but very endearing take on being in touch with nature. He even considers taking up knitting and learning all the names of the trees, as he watches a cat and dog that are part of his daydreaming getting along swimmingly. The only thing that is missing is a significant other to sing along to this soft-spoken country rocker that has found its way into his indie guitar pop musings.
