Kevin Courrier’s Trout Mask Replica, and Sean Nelson’s Court and Spark
We have reviewed other books in the fascinating series called 33 1/3. It’s an incredible conceit. Give an author carte blanche to write about a favourite album, in any way they want. Recall Allan Moore’s didactic treatise on Jethro Tull’s … Continue reading

Manel Fortià Trio’s Despertar
