SAM PHILLIPS – FAN DANCE
GP Mini-Review:  While Sam Phillips has always put out quality material, she really found her groove a few years back with the release of Fan Dance. In it she exploits her talent for turning anguish and elation into hauntingly warm, melodic, modern alt-folk-rock.

THE CYRKLE –
RED RUBBER BALL (A COLLECTION)
GP Mini-Review:  "Red Rubber Ball" was the song that made The Cyrkle pop fav's back in the 1960s. "Turn Down Day"—perhaps the best laid-back beach song ever done—cemented them in musical history. But many other songs on this collection are noteworthy as well.

ASIA MINOR – CROSSING THE LINE
GP Mini-Review:  Throaty flute and complex instrumentation sometimes give this music a "Tull meets Yes" feel, while at other times the vocals and synths are reminiscent of Camel, Nektar, and early Eloy. This is top-notch prog—an obscure but important find.
