Good job on the Tangent review Steve. Indeed they are perennial!

First new album review of this new week (I will try to get a second up by the close of the week, but I am busy working on the second video in the "Old Album, New Thoughts" series, this one Yes and 90125).

The album is a stunner from singer-songwriter Jenny Colquitt, and her Staring at the Moon. Very much worthy of you checking it out.

We have two new album reviews posted on the website at www.lazland.org this evening, both very worthy of your attention.

First up is Finnish outfit, Magician's Red with a very interesting commentary on sexuality and health, Endless Yearning.

Second is perennial quality outfit, The Tangent with To Follow Polaris.

To see both, simply go to the homepage and click on the relevant button.

As I think you all know now, I am also running a YouTube video channel for Lazland, and this evening, I have posted the third in my monthly series of Ruminations videos, which plays new music and has a chat about some seriously good artists, and this month has a gloriously eclectic mix, with Jenny Colquitt, Grice, Sykofant, Brendan Perkins, Massino Pieretti, Notify, and Enigmatic Sound Machines.

We finish off the final week of May with a review of Enigmatic Sound Machines (featuring Mr Thomas Szirmay of this very parish) and their sophomore release, The Hierarchies of Angels. More prog than the debut, but still with that extremely clever and catchy electronic pop/rock, this is a fine effort.

As ever, pop along to www.lazland.org to take a look and have a listen.

Now that I have partially retired with work and only do three days per week, I am busier than ever! Quite how I found time for a five day week is beyond me.

So, the fruits of my labour this evening are two brand new album reviews, one progressive and the other traditional Irish music with a definite contemporary feel. This eclecticism in my website is extremely important to me.

The albums are by HFMC (Hasse Froberg & Musical Companions) and Notify. As ever, take yourselves over to my homepage at www.lazland.org and click on the links.

Go on. Treat yourselves!

It promises to be another busy week at www.lazland.org and we have two new album releases to bring to you tonight.

First up, a cracking rock album by Swedish outfit, PreHistoric Animals with Finding Love In Strange Places, essential for anyone who appreciates great storytelling with their intelligent music.

Second is a heady cocktail of jazz, psych, heavy, from Galatian outfit, Juzz. 

As ever, pop along to the homepage, and click on the relevant button.

You can find out by going along to:

That was excellent, Steve. I appreciate how you went into detail of your own life and fan experiences in reflecting on the Horn's difficulties fronting the group in concert, and your feelings of the insurmountable loss of JA for the this album. While you softened your stance on Drama, I have to ask, would you play it again with this new mindset or continue to leave it on the shelf? For me personally, that's the real factor in changing  my opinion on albums. Cheers mate.

Hi Steve. As ever, many thanks for your kind words. Drama was not played in the Lazland house for many years. I think moving forward, it will come off the shelf occasionally. As you can imagine, I mainly put new music on every day, this an inevitable consequence of reviewing new music, but I do set aside at least one afternoon and evening to listen to my personal collection, and Drama will feature. It is not a terrible album and having listened to it a lot this past couple of weeks, I am better disposed towards it.
