Nice Not To Be Here (Bonus Tracks 1976-2008)

by Rascal Reporters

supported by

James Strain Fantastic compilation of unused RR tracks and takes from throughout the years. Most of this music is the same as their album quality, so there's really a lot to dig into. So good Favorite track: Another Nutty "Life and Death" Thing.

The "Rascal Reporters" slowly have become one of my top favorite prog bands, because they are way beside the standard prog path, which has become 50% rifferama + 50% boredom. Steve Kretzmer and Steve Gore are geniuses of the same kind, and James Strain, who recently entered the band as an additional composer, clearly is on par with them. This is complex and demanding prog, but always with a unique entertaining component. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
