    What the press has said about: THINKING PLAGUE A HISTORY OF MADNESS CUNEIFORM 2003 lineup: Mike Johnson (guitars & such), Deborah Perry (singing), Dave Willey (bass guitar & accordions), David Shamrock (drums & percussion), Mark Harris (saxes, clarinet, flute), Matt Mitchell (piano, harmonium, synths) - Guests: Kent McLagan (acoustic bass), Jean Harrison (fiddle), Ron Miles (trumpet), David Kerman (drums and percussion), Leslie Jordan (voice), Mark McCoin (samples and various exotica) “It has been 20 years since Rock In Opposition ceased to exist as a movement in any official sense… Nevertheless, at its best this music can be stimulating and vital. It’s only RIO, but I like it. Carrying the torch for these avant Progressive refuseniks are Thinking Plague, part of a stateside Cow-inspired contingent including 5uu’s and Motor Totemist Guild. These groups have…produced some extraordinary work… Their music eschews the salon woodwinds and cellos of the European groups for a more traditional electric palette, and its driving, whirlwind climaxes show a marked influence of King Crimson and Yes, names to make their RIO granddaddies run screaming from the room. …this new album finds the group’s main writer Mike Johnson in [an] apocalyptic mood, layering the pale vocals of Deborah Perry into a huge choir of doom, her exquisitely twisted harmonies spinning tales of war, despair and redemption as the music becomes audaciously, perhaps absurdly, complex. … Thinking Plague are exciting and ridiculous in equal measure, as good Prog rock should be.” - Keith Moliné, Wire, Issue 239, January 2004 “Thinking Plague formed in 1983…after guitarist and main composer Mike Johnson answered a notice posted by Bob Drake for a guitarist into “Henry Cow, Yes, etc.” …these initial influences are still prominent in the group’s sound - along with King Crimson, Stravinsky, Ligeti, Art Bears, and Univers Zero.

  • English Version
    The Relatives & Phil Miller Virtually 43:42 Relatives Records 2013 www.relativesrecords.com Anyone like myself who still follows the fortunes of the epic splendours of the Canterbury scene with unrestrained passion, will revel in this delightful work which features Phil Miller (a permanent fixture of this British quintet) as well as the guest appearance of Richard Sinclair in its intense conclusion, On My Mind. Actually, within the group there’s another member who should be familiar to Canterbury conaisseurs: Jack Monck, an excellent bassist with a gift for jazzy vocalisation – featuring in the original line‐up of Delivery with Steve and Phil Miller and the late Pip Pyle as well as heading Inside the Whale, a very interesting CD released in 2001 with the collaboration of the aforementioned Pip Pyle. Virtually unfolds over eight well‐constructed tracks of authentic passion and commitment. Out of this emerges the horn, which reveals Marc Hadley (together with Monck) as a genuine band‐leader. The sax stamps Marc’s identity on most of the tracks as well as the bassist’s (with the exception of the jazzy Stately Waltz, bearing the signature of keyboard player Willem Jan Droog) but everything is supported by the very precise drumming of Damian Rodd. Going Down, the first track ‐ with its jazz‐soul flavour, reminiscent of Donald Fagen‐ opens with wonderful aplomb by the great Phil who erupts with his typical guitar sound ‘borderline’ between rock and jazz to create a dialogue with Hadley’s robust, full‐blooded sax. A really great piece. However this is not to take away from Leading the Fight, a typical Monck composition with its delicate reverberations, distinctly ‘canterburian’ in style, in which is heard Miller’s sumptuous acoustic accompaniment and the excellent flute playing of the leader.

  • Matthew Edwards and the Unfortunates
    Matthew Edwards and the Unfortunates. ‘The Birmingham Poets’ is Matthew Edwards and the Unfortunates first release on the Paris-based December Square recordings. It was recorded in Leamington Spa, England by John A. Rivers (Felt, Dead Can Dance etc.) " The Birmingham Poets are amusing but unexpected guests who eventually ruin your dinner party…The Birmingham Poets graffiti the walls with romance languages. Their split personalities are no longer on speaking terms. They are constantly saying goodbye. I was born in Birmingham, and have both languished and thrived there. I left for California but returned… for this record I suppose? So, here I am still looking for the magic under the concrete." — MATTHEW EDWARDS Matthew Edwards is based in Birmingham, England and San Francisco CA. He has led the Unfortunates since 2013. Prior to then Edwards was the driving force in SF’s critical darlings The Music Lovers. At various times Matthew has been a bingo caller, an English Literature major, a park keeper, MC of a San Francisco cabaret, and of course a singer-songwriter of some distinction. The first Unfortunates album ‘The Fates” (2013) was produced by Eric Drew Feldman (PJ Harvey, Captain Beefheart) and recorded in Emeryville, California. It drew universal critical acclaim: **** Mojo, “Luxuriates in loss and the paradoxical beauty and romance of age, distance and decay” The Quietus "Blessed with understated charm, originality and pure lambent beauty" Shindig In 2014 Matthew relocated to his hometown of Birmingham, England and convened the UK version of the band. This group recorded the Unfortunates second album ‘Folklore’ which was released by Gare Du Nord records in June 2017.

  • Karen Mantler by Karen Mantler
    Karen Mantler by Karen Mantler I was conceived by Carla Bley and Michael Mantler at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1965. Born in 1966, I was immediately swept into the musician's life on the road. After having checked me at the coatroom of the Berlin Jazz Festival, to the horror of the press, my parents realized that I was going to have to learn to play an instrument in order to be useful. But since I was still just a baby and they couldn't leave me alone, they had to bring me on stage with them and keep me under the piano. This is probably why I feel most at home on the stage. In 1971, when I was four, my mother let me have a part in Escalator Over The Hill and the next year I sang on another of her records, Tropic Appetites. By 1977 I had learned to play the glockenspiel, and I joined the Carla Bley Band. I toured Europe and the States with her several times and played on her Musique Mecanique album. After playing at Carnegie Hall in 1980, where I tried to steal the show by pretending to be Carla Bley, my mother fired me, telling me "get your own band". I realized that I was going to have to learn a more complicated instrument. After trying drums, bass, and flute, which I always lost interest in, I settled on the clarinet. I joined my elementary school band and quickly rose to the head of the clarinet section. The band director let me take the first improvised solo in the history of the Phoenicia (a small town near Woodstock, NY) elementary school.

Wyatt, Ayers, Hopper and their new friends Daevid Allen and Mike Ratledge formed the Soft Machine; whereas Sinclair and the others went on to form Caravan. Soft Machine (103), one of the greatest rock bands of all times, started out with albums such as Volume Two (mar 1969 - apr 1969) that were inspired by psychedelic-rock with a touch of Dadaistic (i.e., nonsensical) aesthetics; but, after losing Allen and Ayers, they veered towards a personal interpretation of Miles Davis' jazz-rock on Three (may 1970 - jun 1970), their masterpiece and one of the essential jazz, rock and classical albums of the 1970s. Minimalistic keyboards a` la Terry Riley and jazz horns highlight three of the four jams (particularly, Hopper's Facelift). The other one, Moon In June, is Wyatt's first monumental achievement, blending a delicate melody, a melancholy atmosphere and deep humanity.
