“You won't detect any filler materials or over-extended improvisational jaunts on this superb outing, that effectively highlights the leader's jarring and perceptively constructed compositions.”
**** Glen Astarita, All About Jazz (USA)

It’s the strut of Olie Brice’s burly pepper hot bass and Gary Willcox’s drums that kickstarts ‘Long Road’; but the integrity they bring to the emerging free jazz push-pull structure of ’Space Music’ pilots the musicians further towards destinations unknown.”
**** Philip Clark, Jazzwise (UK)

“Upon listening, I was hooked…. the contrapuntal moments when the horns venture just over the edge make me think that if ODJB had arrived 100 years later they may have sounded like this.”
Lance Liddle, Bebop Spoken Here (UK)

“It starts with Blue Note- and Ogun-spirit, with Spirits Rejoice-mood and Mingus-power… 'Rocket Science' is unfailingly retro-futuristic, tardis-blue, open for everything that was considered amazing in the 60s… Speyer belongs to the songful Wheeler-Beckett types, with sensitivity for the fragile Humpty-Dumpty-ness of sitting on the edge. But he is also ready to counter with ladders the snake-like course of time. And then in 'Brewglass' to finally sip a smooth pint of Guinness in tranquility.” - Rigobert Dittmann, Bad Alchemy magazine (Germany)

Work (Complete, Volumes 1-6)
by Miles Okazaki

'Work' is one of my favourite Monk tunes and I've been working on his music for a long time, often with guitarists. This solo guitar take on ALL his tunes is just great - warm, good natured and true. Loz Speyer / Spherical Records

Shoulders I Stand On
by Petra Haller, Meg Morley

Petra and Meg went to an island off the coast of Norway to make this record, and deliver 45mins of intense musicality and emotional directness, beyond what you'd think possible for a duo. Loz Speyer / Spherical Records
