Progressive rock instrumentalists Mumpbeak are following up their 2013 self-titled debut album with a new adventure titled "Tooth." Led by keyboardist/composer Roy Powell, their new 7-song release blurs the lines between rock and jazz making this avant garde trio into one of the promising underground instrumental acts in the world. They get the energy flowing with the exploratory tones of "Boot," before taking you on a sonic adventure with the tempo switches of "Brick." The drumming of Torsteain Lofthus will blow you away at the start of "Saw," while bassist and longtime collaborator Lorenzo Feliciati steadies the drive on "Cot." The album closes with the epic 9-minute "Caboose" and the 7-minute jazz/funk collage "Stone."

One
of the top independent progressive guitarists around is returning with a
new album. Charles Brown recently released his new instrumental album
"Explorer Of Life," which combines elements of progressive rock with
jazz fusion to keep the music exciting without the need for words. His
new 9-song release begins with the title-song "Explorer Of Life." The
song carries a new wave rock vibe as Brown changes up the tempo. He
builds up the intensity of "Parallel Journey" as he blasts the sonic
landscape with his quickness on the strings. He dives further into his
song structure with the progressive feel of the "Ecliptic Voyage,"
before slowing everything down to deliver the beautiful "Prelude" from
Johann Sebastian Bach's "Cello Suite." Then he delivers his own
atmospheric suite with the futuristic sounds of "Wind Of Darkness,"
before closing his new album with spacey blues/rock of "Spectral Voyage"
and the gentle acoustics of "When The Sun Rises." To find out more
