Musings

The Musings review site was run for four years (1995-1999) with (semi-)regular updates reviewing CDs of new music. The music was mostly, but not entirely, improvisational in nature, with a broad range from modern jazz to classical composition to conceptual art. Some wonderfully rich regional music scenes are represented here, as well as the work of maverick individuals and established greats. Musings was proud and very lucky to be involved with such a fabulous community. Regrettably, I am no longer able to continue to update this site or accept material for new reviews. In its day, Musings was "famed" for reviewing just about everything it recieved -- now the odd CD which does arrive is passed on to other journalists or organisations who may be able to use it. This page contains a list of every CD reviewed on (musings). Once more, thanks to everyone who supported Musings. Anyone who would like to reproduce reviews from the site is welcome to do so, provided due credit is given. Some visitors may be interested in the musings links page (no longer updated). Links to labels can be found on any page reviewing a release on that label.
