Jakszyk - Working With Fripp
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., Jul 12, 2011
The latest edition of Guitarist has a feature on Jakko Jakszyk and his thoughts on working with Robert Fripp. Elsewhere, A Scarcity Of Miracles continues to attract reviews; Classic Rock Presents Prog (who also ran a four page feature on the outfit in issue 17) had this to say, while Kentucky.com took this view and, further afield, Italian readers pondered this. The there was Alternative Matter, the Dutch Progressive Rock Pages and there's my own take over on the blog.

Bjork's Ban
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., Jul 5, 2011
Bjork offers some observations about performing in Manchester with a ban on cameras and other recording equipment. "I feel since everyone has made such an effort to be there all together at the same place and time, we might as well go for it," she says.
