Arriving in a period in which Yes wasn't doing studio work, and including contributions from no less than five musicians with ties to the band, the comparisons for Circa came early and often. A new reissue from Cleopatra underscores the differences. "Don't Let Go," despite all of that, has a stuttering complexity, this mathematical portent, that was Circa's own. And [...]
Alan and Mike from Alan & The Accident dropped into The Cork Music Show studios for a chuckle and a tune... Apologies for the delay but a few weeks back Alan White and Mike Fenton popped into the studios to play a couple of tracks from their newly released record What Would I Say.

In honor of John Lennon , who was killed 32 years ago this Tuesday, Fusion 45 celebrates John Lennon Week. Here’s the fourth of five articles focused on his five best songs. "Mind Games" "Mind Games" was originally part of The Beatles milieu. It was written in 1969 and was given the once-over during the Let It Be sessions under the working title of "Make Love, Not War." Four years later, "Make Love, Not War" evolved into "Mind Games," the new [...]
In honor of John Lennon, who was killed 32 years ago this Tuesday, Fusion 45 celebrates John Lennon Week . Here's the third of five articles focused on his five best songs . "Whatever Gets You Through The Night" As individuals, The Beatles have carried with them general characterizations about their songwriting styles. Paul is still the maker of ditties, Ringo is the "lets-have-a-party-and-make-a- record" guy. George was the spiritual seeker and John was the snarly boy with the rough edge. Though the latter was somewhat true, time and again Lennon [...]
In honor of John Lennon, who was killed 32 years ago this Tuesday, Fusion 45 celebrates John Lennon Week . Here's the second of five articles focused on his five best songs . "Imagine" As is true with the song's B-side, "Working Class Hero" (John Lennon Week, Post #1 ), the beauty of "Imagine" is in its simplicity. Musically, the song is simple enough to be played by someone with rudimentary skills. It's an uncomplicated ballad written in C-Major, modulating to F-Major at [...]
The Mandolas The Cork Music Show was only thrilled to welcome back folkariffic foursome The Mandolas as guests for the second time in the new Cork City Community Radio studios, located in Douglas Shopping Centre.

As with last year's inaugural edition, The Official™ SomethingElse! year-ending Top 10 list requires two or more of us to be in agreement as we gathered around the watercooler at SER Towers. It's no easy task. In the end, we chucked a series of worthy entries - from Bill Frisell and Alice Cooper to The Low Anthem and Fountains of [...]

On this special edition of Something Else! Reviews’ One Track Mind, we hand the reins over to Yes drummer Alan White, who also had a signature stint with John Lennon. Find out more about the unique relationship, nearly 40 years strong, between White and Yes bassist Chris Squire. Go into Phil Spector-produced sessions with both George Harrison and Lennon, and [...]
We caught up with drummer Alan White as Yes prepared to reconvene for the next leg of a lengthy tour in support of its comeback album Fly From Here, beginning on Thursday. Besides playing and touring behind the legendary progressive rock band’s first new album in a decade, White is also featured on a terrific new trio recording called Levin [...]
by Tom Johnson Something keeps pulling guitarist David Torn and bassist Tony Levin together. It's a partnership that blossomed with 19872s Cloud About Mercury, with drummer Bill Bruford and trumpeter Mark Isham, and, for what seemed like an eternity to fans, felt as if it might be a one-off project. In a way, it was. The two would return together [...]
On this special edition of Something Else! Reviews' One Track Mind feature, we had the reins over to Tony Levin, bassist with Peter Gabriel and King Crimson. Find out more about the unique slap-bass sound he created in Gabriel's hit song "Big Time." Learn how an early-1980s gig alongside guitarist David Torn led to a fascinating new trio project with [...]
The latest incarnation for bassist Tony Levin, best known for his work with King Crimson and Peter Gabriel, is as part of a fearless new trio album with guitarist David Torn and Yes drummer Alan White. Part prog, part free-form improvisational music, part noise rock, Levin Torn White brings in each of their familiar textures and sounds, yet sounds somehow [...]
What a wonderful relief to be lapping up some rays at last. Eat my willy northern hemisphere, it's our turn to have a lil' melt down here, and not a moment too soon! This gorgeous sundrenched discorchestral beauty by V.I.P. Connection has been soundtracking my past week especially (thank you Alex Hixon!) and I absolutely adore it. With summer-convertable immagery from start to finish, the horns blow and the strings string, and the days are happy. V.I.P. Connection - West Coast Drive Found it hard to believe when I [...]

Waves at NightIsh's (Ismael Angel Ledesma) "Don't Stop" on T.K. Disco is a super sensual little number. Apply the oil and massage gently. MP3: Ish - Don't Stop I've been listening to Ozric Tentacles' album "Arborescence" on repeat this week. Hailing from England, they are an instrumental neo-prog/psyche band, releasing their debut album "Pungent Effulgent" in 1989. If you want to hunt more of their stuff, make sure you get a hold of their essential album "Jurassic Shift". MP3: Ozric Tentacles - Yog-Bar-Og [...]
