It's time for some new music


I like a variety of artists and I'm ready for some artists I don't have in my collection. My collection includes artists in every sub genre of rock and jazz with a lot of classical, electronic, ambient, avant garde, noise and on and on. Recently I came across the following artists and the descriptions of their music seemed intriguing. Do any of you have albums by these artists? If so, what other group or artist do they sound like (if any at all)?

Edmunds Wells
Clare Fader
Preston Reed
Eric Revis
Jens Johnansen
Kevin Hays Trio
Mastica
Todd Sickafoose Group
Stuck
Twelve 20 Six
Blaze
Darien Michaels
Degenerate Art Ensemble
Cortex Bomb
Alec Haavik
Maroon

Brief descriptions of the their music would be helpful. Thank you so much.

Jens Johansson,

Psychedelia to the extreme. He will take you down a very twisting road, with some of the most amazing keyboard work imaginable.

It's funny but I have a thread now on good music to judge soundstage by, and Jens Johansson surely is on my list.

There is one cut that has his synth making what sounds like a whirling dervish running around in an 8 foot circle between the speakers and you, in 3D. His effects are really quite astounding, and I have no idea how he does it.

Jens is quite well known in the progressive rock/jazz world and has played with the likes of Jonas Hellborg, Tony MacAlpine, Yngwie J. Malmsteen and Allan Holdsworth among others.

Best,
Ron
