John Galgano is a founding member of art-rock group, IZZ, and has been one of the band’s primary songwriters and bass player since the band's inception. Originally released in 2012, John's solo album, Real Life is Meeting, presents nine tracks varying in styles and instrumentation, from the catchy, art-pop flavor of “Bigger on the Inside,” to the experimental, synth-based “The Only Thing,” to the bass-driven "Look Around" to the 19-minute piece “1000."

Real Life is Meeting showcases Galgano’s humor, his introspective and confessional lyrics, and surprising song structures. The result is a fluid and naked collection of philosophical musings set to music - meditations on what it means to be human in the 21st century.

The album features fellow IZZ members Laura Meade, Paul Bremner, Brian Coralian, and Greg DiMiceli. Produced and Mixed by Shawn Bishop.

It's a showcase of the sheer range of the band's talent. That applies both between songs and within songs. Take how Riverman evolves. Compare the opening two tracks. "Side 1" is six separate tracks, "Side 2" is one 28 minute track. That's range. It's also incredibly good music! Maybe a live album? Maybe another new album? But, please, soon :). Peter Jones

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper

A Sky Full of Ghosts

Right off the bat, clear and clean complexity comes to mind with this release. Undeniably progressive rock, compiled by several multi-instrumentalists with thoughtful lyrics, sure to please discriminating fans of this genre. Every piece is executed masterfully, including a 20-minute epic that keeps one engaged from start to finish, which is no mean feat. Hard to pick a favourite, but certainly the opener, Antidentity, gives one an idea of what lies in wait here. Nickie Harte Kelly

got recc'd this on youtube and loved it- reminds me a lot of late 60's and early 70's records i used to hear playing out of my parents' stereo on sweltering summer days. OPAL
