The Neal Casal Music Foundation (NCMF) has been created to honour the memory of the late great, multi-dimensional artist through an ongoing series of charitable endeavours. The initial focus of this non-profit organisation is to provide instruments and lessons to students in New Jersey and New York state schools where Casal was born and raised, as well as to make donations to much needed mental health organisations that support musicians in need. NCMF is being spearheaded by Neal's longtime manager Gary Waldman along with a team of Casal's friends. A first round of funding for the foundation is being raised through a Kickstarter campaign comprised by two primary packages: a 30-plus song tribute album, 'Highway Butterfly: The Songs of Neal Casal' and a coffee table photography book, 'Tomorrow's Sky: Photographs by Neal Casal.'

Egomunk recently released the video for his new song ‘Radio Hum', and today's Track Of The Day finalises a trilogy of visuals to accompany his 'Only One' EP. ‘Radio Hum’ is a dark unnerving track which builds through a blend of pulsating beats and interchangeably brooding, dissonant and infectiously melodic guitar lines, set against half-spoken, hauntingly hollow and distorted vocals which address the battle of inner demons. The video is a haunting animation, which has been created by Robert Beebe who has previously worked on iconic horror film Saw among others. The EP also includes the single ‘Islands’ that highlights loneliness and caring for the elderly, delivering an important message for these current times, and as such Egomunk announced all profits of the single were to be donated to Age UK.

Legendary Yes guitarist Steve Howe has announced he is to release 'Love Is' on Friday 31st July through BMG Records. It's Howe’s first solo album since the all-instrumental 'Time' in 2011 and has a balance of five instrumental tracks and five songs. Steve sings lead vocals and plays electric, acoustic and steel guitars, keyboards, percussion and bass guitar on the instrumentals while Yes vocalist Jon Davison provides vocal harmonies and plays bass guitar on the vocal tracks. The album also features Dylan Howe on drums. Many years in the making, 'Love Is' brings together a consistently strong and polished listening experience, forging the very best from the writing and playing throughout the album. This may well be considered the real 'stand out' album of Howe’s solo career. The instrumentals keep a highly Progressive Rock guitar style to the fore, with songs that explore stories of lives lived and lives only just begun.

"The Silent Life' is a deeply sublime arresting atmospheric ballad. A beguiling sonic bed of delicately shimmering cellos peppered with decorative piano arpeggios, support raw, emotionally exposed and vulnerable euphonious vocals as they delicately glide over the top with a strong sense of purpose and respectful grace. “For in the endless street parade, there's beauty in her silent ways, she's living life to observe, never speaks a single word, and in tooth by tooth she builds a smile, and lives the silent life." A tastefully restrained and technically proficient melodic guitar solo, reminiscent of David Gilmour or Steve Rothery, tingles the senses and is quit simply stunning!"

Gilbert gives us his take here on Lonely Robot's 'Feelings Are Good' CD that is not only due to be released on Friday 17th July, but is also today's Video Of The Day.
