Morgan Agren/Trey Gunn/Henry Kaiser-Invisible Rays $16.00
A supergroup consisting of Morgan Agren (Mats/Morgan) on drums), Trey Gunn (King Crimson) on Warr guitar and Henry Kaiser on guitar. Following on the heels of Morgan's album with Raoul Bjorkenheim and Bill Laswell,  this is 11 tracks that range from 1 minute to over 23 minutes and features really strong playing from all 3 of these superb players.
"A fortuitous meeting off the beaten track in Scandinavia has given rise to Invisible Rays, an enthralling spontaneous collaboration between the two of the most innovative guitarists and one of the most explosive drummers on the planet.  Having never made music together before, guitarists Trey Gunn and Henry Kaiser and drummer Morgan Ågren established enough common ground to produce a work of epic proportions. Anchored and propelled by Ågren’s ferociously complex drumming, these “invisible rays” scorch through phantasmagoric soundscapes shaped and painted by searing electric guitars and raging bass lines.  Gunn and Kaiser and Ågren first crossed paths in March 2011 at the IB Expo, a music education conference in southern Sweden. Thomas Olsson, of the progressive rock band Isildurs Bane, brought Gunn, Kaiser, and Ågren (plus the Swedish duo Midaircondo) to Varberg and surrounding towns to demonstrate and talk about their craft to music and film students.  On the final day of the Expo, Gunn, Kaiser, and Ågren found themselves with time to kill before their afternoon sessions. Making the most of the occasion, the ad hoc trio laid down the foundation of Invisible Rays. Comprising 10 tracks—eight more or less composed pieces framed by two sprawling free improvisations—Invisible Rays defies categorization while reflecting the diverse backgrounds of the players, whose resumes include work with King Crimson, Brian Eno, Richard Thompson, David Lindley, Bill Laswell, Frank Zappa, and many others.  The recording that Gunn, Kaiser, and Ågren have made together is all the more remarkable given its spur of the moment origin. The action began at the Red Room, the Isildurs Bane headquarters, in Kungsbacka, a small town north of Varberg. Kaiser discovered that the “clubhouse” was home to Olsson’s studio/performance space. As Gunn recalls, “Henry pushed this into action when he saw an opportunity to improvise together. ‘We're in a studio, and we have two hours of free time,’ he said, ‘we should record.’ To be honest,” Gunn admits, “I am not that crazy about improvisation as a means to make records. I see it as a risky way to spend cherished studio time. But, we had the opportunity and, well, there’s no harm in trying.”  The musicians set up their gear, got their sound together, hit record, and started playing. “After a few quick takes, Henry had us doing a bunch of endings,” Gunn explains, “which was a great idea, because often it isn’t easy to carve a conclusion to an improv. When Morgan had to leave after about an hour, Henry and I played another 15 or 20 minutes as a duo. We had students waiting for us at the conference, so we didn’t have time to listen back to anything.”  At home in Oakland, Kaiser put together some rough mixes, and all three musicians were impressed by what they heard. “We were so completely in the moment when we were in that studio,” Kaiser remembers, “I couldn’t tell if what were playing was really any good. I just knew it felt great. It turned out to be amazing.”" [7D Media]

Stefano Battaglia Trio-The River of Anyder $19.00
Stefano Battaglia: piano
Salvatore Maiore: double-bass
Roberto Dani: drums
"'The pure water of the Anyder River flowered through Sir Thomas Moore’s “Utopia”. Italian pianist Stefano Battaglia celebrates it and other mythical and legendary locations in a trio recording of new compositions which spurn self-conscious modernity: “I pushed myself to write songs and dances uninfluenced by the sophistication of contemporary musical languages, striving to shape pieces that might have been played on archaic instruments a thousand years ago.” If the piano trio is itself a modern institution and the group understanding that what Battaglia, Maiore and Dani share cannot help but be of-the-moment, Battaglia has nonetheless made an album that feels “timeless”."

Iva Bittova-Divna Slecinka $10.00 (special)
A MAJOR talent on violin & voice, Iva writes charming, folk/gypsy influenced songs that could be NO other performer. A beautiful, sparse, solo recording of violin & voice. I love her work and this is probably my single favorite by her and that's saying something. At this price, this is a must-must own (at least for me!) [BMG]

Greg Burk Trio-The Path Here $14.00
Greg Burk (piano), Gerald Cleaver (drums), Jonathan Robinson (bass)
"On his 5th release for 482 Music, the Rome-based pianist travels forward into his past, reuniting with old friends Gerald Cleaver and Jonathan Robinson, and revisiting several of his compositions in a relaxed and melodic album that is his most immediately accessible.
“Frankly this is my dream trio." Burk says. "I've known and have been playing with these guys for almost 20 years. Gerald and I go back to the days when we lived in Detroit and it was all swing all the time; I feel right at home playing that way, or really any way, with Gerald. Jonathan is living in Berlin and often comes to Italy to play with me, and vice-versa. We've done tours in Europe and gigs in Boston and NYC when I was living in Boston. This is the trio that recorded Carpe Momentum for Soul Note, with Jerry Bergonzi as a guest.” Burk has been praised as “a startlingly original improviser” (All About Jazz), “a confident, measured and thoughtful writer” (Cadence) and “a pianist and composer with vigorous, freewheeling ideas that always feel grounded in a well-reasoned structure” (Boston Herald)."
"Judging from the breadth of styles and approaches evident on The Path Here, Burk is either a musical chameleon or a protean jazz stylist conversant in a vast swath of jazz history." — George Kanzler, The New York City Jazz Record [482]

Canvas Solaris-The Atomized Dream $4.00 (special)
Crazy price on a great, creative and crazy album. This is 70% off the regular price!!
Fourth and perhaps the best yet by this great, young, instrumental, math-metal-progressive outfit. This is by far their 'proggiest' sounding, but in a way that keeps the interesting parts of their previous albums while adding a new dimension. I saw them play a fantastic show at Orion with Behold the Arctopus and Dysrhythmia and they slayed. Fun and recommended.
"With a new expanded lineup, the Canvas Solaris “sound” continues to evolve. The band has shown tremendous growth since their beginnings in 1999, evolving out of the death metal/mathcore scene. Dropping their vocalist along the way the band decided to emphasize intricate arrangements, creating compositions that only the most adept musicians could play. Canvas Solaris’ music resonated equally with fans of technical metal co-horts Behold The Arctopus and Spastic Ink as well as bands like Don Caballero and Dillinger Escape Plan. Following the recording of their third album, Cortical Tectonics, the lineup saw a radical change. Band founders Nathan Sapp (guitars) and Hunter Ginn (drums) replaced departing guitarist/bassist Ben Simpkins with 3 new members. Joining are Chris Rushing (guitars), Donnie Smith (analog synth), and Gael Pirlot (bass). While the core sound has remained these new members have clearly made their mark. Keyboards now play a more prominent role, while the twin guitar interplay is mesmerizing. The band continues to contrast hyper-technical metal passages with spacey and quiet acoustic based interludes." [Sensory]

Eugene Chadbourne/Warren Smith-Odd Time $10.00
Eugene Chadbourne (12-string banjo, banjo, vocals), Warren Smith (drums, tympani, marimba, percussion, vibes)
"Eugene Chadbourne is like a banjo-slinging 21st-century incarnation of Mark Twain. He underlines the absurdity of the war on drugs with his classic “Choppin’ Down Weeds,” and of the war on terror with “New New War War.” But he’s far from a one-dimensional songwriter, as he also delivers a melancholic song for his father with “Put Me Back in the River” and an apocalyptic fable of greed and struggle with “Checkers of Blood.” When Chadbourne lived in New York City in the 1970's he went to jazz shows at Warren Smith's Tribeca loft. One evening the older Smith gave the younger Chadbourne an instructional book by Louis Bellson called Odd Time Reading Text. 30+ years later and completely coincidentally, Eugene and Warren recorded this record together with the gift of that book hovering over the session. Hence the title of the record with the added kicker that we live in odd times." [Engine]

Copernicus-Live! In Prague NTSC (all region) DVD $16.00
"Copernicus (heteronym of Joseph Smalkowski) is New York born and based philosopher, poet and sage, active since late 70's. He has enjoyed a decent deal of success all around Central and Eastern Europe from
mid 80's to early 90's. In 1989, after the release of the album "Deeper". Copernicus received many requests to appear live in several
cities in Europe, including Moscow, Sopot, Prague, Vilnius and Berlin. "Deeper" had received a lot of attention from the press and got tremendous radio airplay. This was a time of heightened tension in many countries, separated from the rest of the world by their mostly totalitarian regimes. This concert footage documents the entire experience at Prague's Slavia Stadium. For the nine thousand fans, it was a rewarding experience. Copernicus and the audience interacted in an extraordinary manner. The effects of Copernicus' songs such as "The Authorities" and "White from Black" and others were visibly a big blow to the audience eager to absorb more of Copernicus' lyrics and the gripping original music performed by those musicians which included Larry Kirwan of Black 47 on keyboards, guitar and vocals, Mike Fazio on guitar, Thomas Hamlin on drums, and Dave Conrad on bass along with their American soundman, Michael Ford.  The use of split screen technology with footage from two separate sources heightens the experience that one almost feels that he is right there at the mixing board watching every move from the stage and from the audience's point of view. This video certainly is a document from the time when bands would go out and venture into these far away places. It is worth its price in gold.
Featuring members of NYC based Irish celtic-punk-rock band Black 47 - Larry Kirwan (guitar, keys, back vocals), Thomas Hamlin (drums), Dave Conrad (bass), and experimental guitarist Mike Fazio (of Life With The Lions and Gods Of Electricity)" [MoonJune]

Chick Corea/Stefano Bollani-Orvieto $19.00
Chick Corea, piano
Stefano Bollani, piano
"Chick Corea and Stefano Bollani in their first recorded collaboration, a document of a most spirited gig in Orvieto’s Teatro Mancinelli last December. Effervescent virtuosity abounds as the two piano genii romp through a programme that includes Jobim’s “Retrato Em Branco E Preto”, the swing ballad “Darn That Dream”, Fats Waller’s “Jitterbug Waltz”, Miles Davis’s “Nardis”, blues, improvisations and more. The recording is Corea’s first new ECM date in more than a quarter-century." [ECM]

Cosmic Jokers-The Cosmic Jokers (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed)
$25.00
The Cosmic Jokers grew out of the marathon, LSD-rich sessions instigated by Rolf-Urich Kaiser (Kosmich Musiche/Cosmic Couriers) that also produced Ash Ra Tempel's "Seven Up". What this is, essentially, is a 'kraut-rock super session', with Jurgen Dollase, Harald Gosskopf, Manuel Gotsching, Klaus Schulze and Dieter Dierks. So, a meeting of Wallenstein with Ash Ra at their most spaced out. Two side long jams. Good, fun stuff. This French lp edition is the only way that this material is currently in print!  [Klimt]

Kevin Coyne-1979 Live At WDR-Studio L Cologne NTSC (all region) DVD $18.00
"Kevin Coyne remains one of the UK's greatest lost cult talents; one of John Peel's all-time favorite musicians, and an acknowledged artistic hero of contemporary talents as diverse as Will Oldham and John Lydon. His then-record company Virgin described him as the ultimate anti-star. This super-rare recording was shot live in 1979 for the legendary German TV music program "Rockpalast," when Kevin was at the height of his considerable performing powers. The DVD features some 18 songs from across his then-career (1973 to 1979) and serves as almost a personal greatest hits set, and features him in a solo and duet (with Zoot Money) setting, for an intimate and energetic example of Coyne's unique charms. All-Region NTSC-compatible DVD in CD digipak.

John Fahey-1978 Live At Audimax Hamburg NTSC (all region) DVD $18.00
This is something really special and something that I was hoping to be able to get to with Cuneiform with our German television connections, but never was able to. This is a wonderful 1978 solo performance done for Rockpalast. This is over 40' long and finds Fahey in fine, mid period form (even if he looks pretty wasted). This was shot on March 17, 1978 and is a totally pro-shot, multi-camera experience. There are no suprises as far as the repertoire, but it's got a lot of his classics on it and you can watch in amazement at how easy he makes it all look while this amazing BIG sound resonates from his guitar. It's also, afaik, the earliest full-show of a Fahey concert that exists. Hugely and highly personally recommended! [Blast First]

Jeff Gauthier Goatette-Open Source $18.00
"Jeff Gauthier isn't the only person who has played electric avant-garde jazz on the violin (the late Billy Bang immediately comes to mind), but it is safe to say that the violin doesn't have a lot of representatives in that area of jazz. Gauthier, however, is not only accomplished as a violinist, he is also accomplished as a composer and as a group leader, and on Open Source, he once again leads the group he has had since 1992, the Goatette. Gauthier's group has had different lineups along the way; on this self-produced 2011 date, he is joined by John Fumo on trumpet, Nels Cline on electric guitar, David Witham on electric keyboards, acoustic piano, and accordion, Joel Hamilton on bass, and Alex Cline on drums and percussion. Under Gauthier's direction, the Goatette sounds cohesive but freewheeling and has a variety of pieces to have fun with -- some of them more left-of-center than others. Open Source (which finds Gauthier on both acoustic and electric violin) is not an exercise in atonal chaos for the sake of atonal chaos, and even the most left-of-center selections have an inside/outside approach rather than a totally outside approach (including Gauthier originals that include the insistent "40 Lashes with Mascara," the ominous "Prelude to a Bite," and the quirky "Seashells and Balloons"). And on an interpretation of Ornette Coleman's "Joy of a Toy," the Goatette demonstrates that being abstract and eccentric doesn't mean that a group cannot be musical, as well. The Goatette, however, moves closer to straight-ahead post-bop on Witham's pensive "From a Rainy Night" and Eric von Essen's "Things Past." And for those who are familiar with Gauthier's history, the fact that Open Source is avant-garde one minute and more straight-ahead the next should come as no surprise. Diversity has been one of Gauthier's strong points, and it continues to serve him well on Open Source."-Alex Henderson/All Music Guide [Cryptogrammophone]

Gentle Giant-Scraping the Barrel 4 x CDs in oversize package (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) $24.00 (special)
I've looked at this for a long time, but the high price tag kept me away. Now we've got it at a (relatively) bargain price, but there are only a specific number at this price. You can see exactly what is on here by going here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scraping_the_Barrel
"This is a 4-CD set of rare tracks and unusual items. Dan Bornemark, the creator of this album, writes:

Giles, Giles & Fripp-The Brondesbury Tapes 1968 $9.00 (special)
Now this is pretty fascinating and also it's in surprisingly high quality sound. This is the 'home demos' that Giles, Giles & Fripp worked on to get themselves their contract with Decca Records, as well as the demos that they worked on during the period of their contract. There is plenty of material that is essentially just (sometimes significantly better) alternates of the Giles, Giles & Fripp album, but it gets especially amazing as the disc progresses, as the band adds singer Judy Dyble, multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald and lyricist Peter Sinfield. In other words, the group is well on its way to becoming King Crimson; all that's missing is Greg Lake. There are 2 takes of I Talk to the Wind as well as 2 of Under the Sky (later recorded by Peter Sinfield on Still) and Why Don't You Just Drop In, which was a mainstay of KC's early live repertoire, but which wasn't studio recorded. Great liner notes and explanation of how they recorded this stuff and why and how it sounds so good (even though it probably shouldn't, given the primitive recording equipment) by Peter Giles and even a couple of unbelievably weird photos that I hadn't seen anywhere else. Conditionally highly recommended; certainly for those who are gigantic Krimson fans. [Voiceprint]

Ken Hyder/Talisker-Dreaming of Glenisla $9.00 (special)
While they last, this is 45% off the regular price.
Drummer Ken Hyder left his Dundee, Scotland home during the summer of 1970 headed for the London jazz scene, where he quickly found himself replacing Robert Wyatt on the vacated throne of Mal Dean's Amazing Band. Study with John Stevens led to his playing with numerous different cutting-edge musicians at John's Little Theater Club, which was the center of new music in the 1970's. Soon Hyder founded his own band, Talisker, focusing on spontaneously improvised music and traditional Scottish folk music, with both aesthetics being mutually informed. The instrumentation driven by Ken was unique: paired double bass and paired reeds (alto, tenor, clarinets) with voices and whistles. In 1975 Talisker recorded their debut album, the breathtakingly beautiful Dreaming of Glenisla, which was released on the Virgin subsidiary Caroline Records. By turns serene and sensuous, impassioned and celebratory, this magnificent marriage of musical styles ultimately proves seamless. However, Dreaming of Glenisla's success was more than musical; with micro and macro-dynamics gloriously preserved it stands among the finest acoustic recordings of its generation. This long awaited reissue of Ken Hyder's classic album is augmented with previously unreleased studio recordings of his grand quintet, Talisker. [Reel Recordings]

Los Jaivas-Alturas de Macchu Picchu En Concierto + bonus $17.00
Los Jaivas are a Chilean musical phenomenon. Founded in 1963, they are best known for their album Alturas De Macchu Picchu, from 1981 which fuses Chilean folkmusic with progressive rock. I saw them in September, 2005 at a huge outdoor place, and they were actually introduced as "progressive rock legends" in Spanish and English, so no one can accuse them of trying to distance themselves from their proggy past! It was amazing to be surrounded by 90% Chileans, all of whom seemed like they were going to explode with pride and happiness at seeing their 'homies', and watching everyone sing along with all these progressive rock-type tunes and they did the entire album really well, even 25 years later!
"The complete original album live,recorded at Teatro Providencia November 1998, plus 5 live bonus tracks (Teatro Monumental, May 2000). Direct from the master tapes. Complete 16-page booklet with lyrics, discography, history of the band, photos. 80 minutes! Bonus tracks : Tarka y Ocarina (instrumental master progressive song from 1976) + Takirari del puerto + Cancion del sur + Mamalluca (with orchestra) + Presentacion. A masterpiece, never before on CD! Seeing Los Jaivas playing live is an experience not to be missed, especially for those who are natives of Chile. In case you have not had the opportunity to do so, this live album captures to the full extent possible, the energy and mysticism that is a hallmark of the band, probably the most important in the history of Chilean music." Like I said, Chileans bursting with pride over their homies! [Aroma]

Kidd Jordan-On Fire $10.00
Great trio jazz from a great jazz trio: Kidd Jordan-sax, Harrison Bankhead-bass, cello, Warren Smith-drums, vibes, percussion.
"Bitter folks make bitter music, sad folks the same. During this session Kidd Jordan talked about overcoming health problems as well as coming out of a gig and encountering a Ku Klux Klan rally; Warren Smith talked about going to a sandwich shop in Illinois with some college friends and being told he couldn’t eat inside with the white folks. This is not political music, but there is a defiance to the playing that comes out of those experiences. In addition to waving the freak flag, there is the blues and New Orleans voodoo, and there is a lot of intelligence, humor, and awareness between the players. The record is called On Fire for a reason".

 "Further adventures at the interstices of folk music and jazz-rooted improvisation, as Sinikka Langeland takes the work begun on the much praised “Starflowers” to the next level. As the Irish Times’s Ray Comiskey noted of the earlier disc: “Sinikka Langeland is a gifted folk singer, but not one stifled by tradition. Her ability to work seamlessly with jazz musicians, as she does so memorably here, is part of the reason for the success of this marriage of folk, jazz and poetry. (…) Individually and collectively, the quintet is superb, Henriksen and Seim play brilliantly off the voice and each other, while the group catches a variety of moods persuasively; they can groove with understated power (…)” All of this applies with equal pertinence to “The Land That Is Not”."

Fine, overlooked jazz musician who made a few great records in the 90s and hasn't been heard from enough since then until now.

His projects are an exciting blend of improvisation and composition and always involve intertwining contrapuntal lines in an intimate chamber setting. For his first Tzadik release he has chosen several pieces for classical ensembles that are among his greatest work to date. Included are a string quartet, a string trio and a quintet for clarinet and strings, and a brilliant new piece for solo piano written especially for this CD. Lyrical and complex chamber music by this dedicated and imaginative New York composer."

"Since his return to ECM with “Easy Living” in 2003, the grand master of Italian jazz has gone from strength to strength, in a series of truly exceptional recordings including “Tati”, “The Words and The Days”, “The Third Man”, and “New York Days”. Enrico Rava is currently playing at a peak of lyrical invention, and his newest Italian quintet is amongst his strongest ensembles. Gianluca Petrella is retained from “The Words and the Days” line-up. Voted Rising Star Trombonist in the Down Beat Critics Poll of 2005, he has a front-line relationship with Rava which recalls Enrico’s affinity with Roswell Rudd back in the heyday of the New Thing. Material on “Tribe” includes new and old tunes by Rava and a brace of collective improvisations." [ECM]

Road-Road $10.00 (special)
"Formed in March 1972 by former Jimi Hendrix Experience bassist Noel Redding, in the aftermath of a debilitating fall at Frank Zappa's home, this short-lived power trio also featured former Rare Earth guitarist Rod Richards and Redding's Fat Mattress bandmate Leslie Sampson on drums. Their sole album is a crunching hard rock collection that was praised on release that July -- but the band split soon afterwards, making it a lost piece of the jigsaw for Hendrix fans, and a must-hear for all lovers of proto-metal. Includes historical notes.
"Completely drug-drenched killer hard rock from ex-Experience member Noel Redding."-The Noise
"Cult power-trio from the golden era of 70s: Noel Redding, legendary bassist of Jimi Hendrix Experience, Rod Richards of Rare Earth and Leslie Sampson on drums (formerly with Redding in "Fat Mattress" Magic Forest: The Anthology). Recorded and released in March 1972 while Redding was in Los Angeles (before self-exiling to Ireland), this album is a brilliant sample of acid hard'n'heavy, and not just another mindless footstomping record - the music is built around guitar fuzz and distortion effects - which were Redding trademark in Experience and an element of their sound, drumming at the point of perfection, and vocals ranging from melancholic meditation to heartbreaking laments and screams. The act was short-lived, and "Road" split soon after this first and only record. But better die standing than to live on your knees. Strongly recommended to those who still miss vintage hard rock of the 70s. I would advise to get it together with Grand Funk (of course), Fuse; No Rest For The Wicked; Shiver..."-Alexey Golovanov [Relix]

Roedelius/Schneider-Stunden $18.00
"Stunden is the unique and unprecedented new record of instrumental music by electronic pioneer Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Cluster, Harmonia) and Stefan Schneider (To Rococo Rot, Kreidler , Mapstation). In twelve miniatures, with titles such as "Liebe", "Das Eine" and "Country," Stunden unfolds images that come across with a poetic, glorifying tranquility. Despite the use of synthesizers and amplifiers, these songs are closer to the texts of Adalbert Stifter than to the machine music of Kraftwerk. By all accounts, Roedelius' work with the likes Dieter Moebius and Michael Rother (in Cluster and Harmonia) as well as Brian Eno (on 1977's Cluster & Eno and 1978's After The Heat) are considered blueprints for today's electronica. He began releasing solo albums in 1978 and on his second album, 1979's Jardin au Fou, was already exploring the interplay between piano and electronics, a synthesis which is also the core of Stunden. Roedelius and Schneider first decided to work together at a Cluster concert in Berlin in 2007 and the idea for the album came after their first joint appearance in the Berger Kirche, a 17th Century church in Düsseldorf. The music was intended to match the location of the concert: Sounds for a vestry, to which Roedelius spoke his own texts. Stunden was created in the early months of 2010. While the initial reference for the collaboration was their concert experience, the concept gradually opened up and the lyrics fell away, until there was only one proviso: The music should be quiet -- otherwise anything goes. Stunden is a bold and inspired record, with a focus on Roedelius' piano playing while Schneider lays synthesizer sounds around it. Other pieces feature guitar, zither, digital and analog synths. Together, the pieces create an impression of pleasant vagueness. This is music for the room which opens upwards." [Bureau B]

Ray Russell-Secret Asylum $9.00 (special)
While they last, this is 45% off the regular price.
This is a reissue of a very hard to find album from Ray's exploratory prime in 1973. With Harry Beckett-trumpet & flugelhorn, Gary Windo-tenor sax & flute, Daryl Runswick-bass and Alan Rushton-drums.
"Ray Russell is a composer whose wild explorations and sonic extensions of the electrified guitar set him aside from the famed British guitar heroes of the late sixties and seventies. Ray's Rhythm and Blues roots with The John Barry Seven, Georgie Fame, Graham Bond Organisation were set aside by the urgent call of the free jazz movement, and a succession of classic recordings (Turn Circle, Dragon Hill, Rites & Rituals, Live at the ICA, The Running Man) gave rise to his most challenging and ultimately rewarding suite of spectral sounds, the magnificent Secret Asylum. As always, percussionist Alan Rushton batters beyond belief alongside the darting double bass of Daryl Runswick, with Harry Beckett playing inimitable figurines from his flugelhorn. The Quintet is finalized by tenor titan Gary Windo who gives the last word in whirlwind intensity. Throughout the journey Secret Asylum presents sonic caresses and searing assaults from all its featured participants, and its success has yet to be equaled. Ray Russell has since closed the doors of his Asylum times and has enjoyed a successful career with many related and unrelated musics, however decades later Ray looks back with affection for what can now be looked forward to with open ears, his Secret Asylum."

Boris Savodelli-Insaneology $13.00
"This is the reissue of album released originally only in Italy in 2007. An arresting mix of painstakingly overdubbed vocals, human beatbox effects, African-inspired choral music, plus the odd visit to the
world of Jimi Hendrix (an extraordinary version of 'Crosstown Traffic'), Insanology is a largely solo album (although two tracks feature tasty contributions from guitarist Marc Ribot) featuring the quite
remarkable Italian vocalist Boris Savoldelli. A quick (although lazily inaccurate) way of describing some of this music would be to suggest that it sounds as if Ladysmith Black Mambazo had adopted the techniques utilised by Bobby McFerrin in his solo live performances, but Savoldelli is a genuine original, wholly in command both of his material (self-penned, save for the aforementioned Hendrix piece and 'In the Seventh Year' by Mark Murphy and Uli Rennert) and of the various electronic gizmos (the cover shows Savoldelli's foot pressing an FX pedal) with which he creates his 'choirs'."-Chris Parker, Vortex Jazz, UK [MoonJune]

Secret Chiefs 3-Live at the Great American Music Hall NTSC (all region) $17.00
Back in stock.
Live at the Great American Music Hall captures Secret Chiefs 3 in concert with what many consider to be the best of their many line- ups in 14 years of playing. Shot in 2007 at one of the band’s favorite
haunts, this DVD does justice to a group whose live energy usually exceeds the recorded medium. Renowned for their ultra-elaborate CD
productions, Secret Chiefs 3 has also garnered a reputation for the
power and immediacy of their live shows. Their fanbase has swelled in recent years and grown accustomed to this live incarnation (the Secret Chiefs 3 bootleg scene is thriving), and they demand an official release! Not just some audience-hand-cam and stereo-mic-job thing,
this DVD boasts a pro six-camera shoot with live sound mixed by Billy Anderson, with the multi-channel outs mixed for DVD by Trey Spruance and Randall Dunn (producer of Earth, SUNNO))), Kinski, Wolves in the Throne Room, etc). And it comes with a really nice six-panel gatefold digi-pack with original artwork. At the show, Secret Chiefs 3 performs a set of both familiar and as-yet-unreleased music. The line-up includes Ches Smith (Xiu Xiu, Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog), Shahzad Ismaili (who also plays with Graham Haynes, Laurie Anderson, and Tom Waits), Timb Harris (Estradasphere), Rich Doucette, Peijman Kouretchian, and Jai Young Kim. Live at the Great American Music Hall also has an award-winning and seriously dimensionally altered 80-minute stop-motion animation feature film directed by Tawd Dornfeld that uses Secret Chiefs 3’s live show as a soundtrack."

Slapp Happy-Live in Japan - May, 2000 $9.00 (special)
50% off the usual price, while they last.
In May, 2000, hot on the heels of their excellent (if a bit over-produced) reunion album Ça Va, Slapp Happy embarked on their first ever tour of Japan. The original trio of Dagmar Krause (vocals), Peter Blegvad (guitar, vocals) and Anthony Moore (piano, keyboards) perform a wonderful selection of tunes from their earliest times to the then present, but with the most notable fact being the startling recasting of a large number of tunes from Ça Va in a very acoustic format where they work wonderfully well. This was originally released only in Japan in a very limited edition. I got a copy courtesy of Anthony, but my pleas to the label to please sell them to us so I could offer them to you were ignored. But now it's been reprinted in an exact edition and we can do so. Highly, highly recommended. [Voiceprint]

Trio Caveat/Josh Sinton-Introspective Athletics/Pine Barren $10.00
Trio Caveat: James Ilgenfritz-bass, Chris Welcome-guitar, Jonathan Moritz-tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone.
Josh Sinton-baritone saxophone, bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet.
"I'm always looking to drag the genre of jazz music out of its self-imposed ghetto so doing a split CD helps tie it to punk and indie where I see points of connection.
The first half by Trio Caveat is a bass/sax/guitar recording in the spirit of Oval's O released on Thrill Jockey in 2010. Instead of scratching discs and a computer to make abstract sounds, the musicians use technique and make sounds in the moment with each other. Song titles like 'Clicks, Beeps, Buzzing' and 'Fluttering Clicks, Fractured Hisses' reflect this spirit of acoustic sound manufacturing.
The second recording is a solo effort by Josh Sinton (note to Cuneifans: Josh is leader of Ideal Bread) called Pine Barren, which I thought would be a good come down from a chunk of interwoven, thoughtful sound from Trio Caveat. My label is committed to releasing new voices in jazz. Everybody starts somewhere and two recordings is double the jazz for the same price. That leaves the often overlooked listener/music lover. Times are tough - the cheddar does not flow as before, the cake is smaller and doesn't rise as high as it did. I understand that and want to give you what I can give - more creative music for your entertainment dollar."-Steven Walcott, Engine [Engine]

Christian Vander-John Coltrane l'Homme Supreme $20.00
Latest release from the mastermind of Magma is pretty much what long-time followers of Vander would expect from a solo album homage to his life-long idol, John Coltrane. There are aspects very reminiscent of Offering, where Christian plays piano and sings with some minimal backing, there are aspects of his jazz trio and quartet work, where he furiously plays the drums and reminds us that he still has no equal as a drummer, and there are tracks that combine these elements with more things. Lots of singing and lots of great playing, all in a pretty low-burn intense fashion. Comes in a nice digipack with a 24 page booklet. With: Christian Vander, Stella Vander, Simon Goubert, Pierre-Michel Sivadier, Frederic d'Oeslnitz, Philippe Dardelle, Isabelle Feuillebois, Hervé Aknin, Marcus Linon, Sylvie Fisichella, Sandrine Destefanis, Julien Tessier.
"On July 17, 1967, time stopped. The great saxophone player John Coltrane left us. I was lucky enough to discover, at a very young age, an exceptional musician. The beauty, the spirituality, the strength, the softness, as well as the fragility of his notes. The expression of that sound which spoke to me like a voice. From that moment on, he became my daily bread. Indispensable. No one can ignore the immensity of his visionary works. It still resonates in all of today’s musical productions, and certainly in those of tomorrow. In 1997, I had a dream, a record, dedicated to John Coltrane. A child had painted the sun on a white cardboard, and below that sun, he wrote a title in blue...
John Coltrane l’homme suprême.
This record was recorded, day after day, between July 17, the date on which he departed, and July 21, the day on which his funeral was held. On each day, an offering, a musical, poetic gift, for him, created in real time. On the 21st at midnight, the record was completed."-Christian Vander [Seventh]

Vos Voisins-Vos Voisins (expanded) $18.00
First-time ever on CD for this early Quebeçois progressive rock album. This includes both covers (the one that got them in trouble with them on the cover of a faked "Allo Police" (Quebec's tatty scandal rag, ala National Enquirer) and the replacement cover.
"Keyboardist/composer Jacques Perron, drummer Pierre Ringuet, guitarist Serges Vallieres and bassist Andre Parenteau met while accompanying Robert Charlebois, Louise Forestier and Yvon Deschamps. In 1970, they
formed VOS VOISINS in collaboration with lyricist Marcel Sabourin. In 1971, the group released their only self-titled album. The music is an eclectic mix of hard rock and ballads full of humoristic lyrics, and progressive instrumentals. A real masterpiece ! One of the songs, “The Main Monster”, became a local radio hit. Louise Forestier sings on
three tracks. Two bonus tracks from 1970 have been added to the CD reissue. Vos Voisins is one of the most requested reissues by fans of the ProgQuebec catalogue."
"Keyboardist J Perron and drummer P Ringuet had worked together with local celebrities and then with Les Enzymes (L Forestier and Y Deschamps) before hooking up with Guitarist Vallieres and bassist Parenteau and making Vos Voisins (your neighbours). The group made a huge scandal with the releases of their debut (and sole album) with its artwork depicting the scandal paper Allo Police (one of the trashiest ever "newspaper" to ever exist on Earth) and their album had to be taken away from the record shelves after a week or so, after lawsuits... Well the group survived it by changing their artwork and album name, as soon as they could, but failing to capitalize on their "coup", even though one track Monstre De La Main got quite a bit of radio airplay. Needless this original artwork album is worth a small fortune. Musically the standard prog quartet developed an organ-driven hard prog laced in with plenty other influences, with drummer Ringuet and keyboardist Perron writing all the music, but getting extra help for the lyrics. Historically important for Quebec's scene, their hard rock (sometimes Crimsonic). Vallières would be later in Ville Emard Blues Band." - Progarchives.com [ProgQuebec]

Wobbler-Rites at Dawn $18.00
Back in stock!
Third from one of the best retro-symphonic rock bands today, Wobbler emerged with their first album in the early 00s and their sound instantly gained them an international following. This new one veers a bit closer to the classic Yes sound than their past works, but its still recognizably Wobbler. But they are definitely kidding themselves about one thing below: Girlfriends will *not* like this.
"Norway's kings of symphonic prog, Wobbler, arrogantly sidestep the whole debate of "prog" versus progressive. Since it's dubious whether rock has anywhere left to progress anyway, they have instead chosen simply to celebrate the rainbow-colored fireworks, the airy-fairy themes, the danger and the drama and the joy of pure music that made prog what it really was, and still can be: An exhilarating musical spectacle, a gladiator match of major chord crescendos and mini-moog glissandos. Wobbler's third album, Rites at Dawn, is a case in point. It's a no-holds-barred declaration of love to the progressive giants. It's all here - Lars Fredrik Frøislie's overblown arsenal of every analog synth known to man, played with Wakemanesque flair and Emersonian hubris. Andreas Prestmo's soaring vocals, delivering at times delicate, fragile melodies and at times joyous, triumphant multi-part harmonies that would make CSN proud. The vibrant, stinging guitar of Morten Eriksen, the - you guessed it - thundering Rickenbacker bass of Kristian Hultgren, and finally Martin Kneppen's drumming, which manages that neat and esoteric 70's trick of making even impossible time signatures swing and swagger. Rites at Dawn is a major step forward for Wobbler. As songwriters they have matured. Even though the music is as complex as ever, it flows and breathes in a whole new way, and the addition of Andreas' vocals adds a very human, and dare we say emotional, element to the songs. The album somehow pulls off being both challenging and adventurous, but at the same time accessible and downright infectious. Even though this is the kind of prog connoisseurs will stroke their beards appreciatively to, it is also prog their girlfriends will like. And you really can't ask for more than that."[Termo]

Thank you and we greatly apologize for the inconvenience.

Here's what has come in stock in the last week - either new releases or re-stockings of items that have been unavailable:

Atomic Rooster-The Lost Broadcasts NTSC (all region) DVD $12.00
Here is some great archival footage by the early versions of the group during their peak in 1970/1971. This is over 65' and is fully authorized and taken from the original video masters in the archives of Radio Bremen/Beat Club, crazy, dated effects and all.
"The first session filmed in August 1970 features three tracks; Save Me, Sleeping For Years and VUG a piece of music from death Walks behind you that ably demonstrated the band musical dexterity. Fast Forward to February 1971 for the second session and there are two tracks including the hit single Tomorrow Night. The second track from this session is another song from Death Walks behind You, in this instance Can’t Take No More. By the time of the 1972 session the band now included vocalist Chris Farlowe and drummer Rick Parnell and the session filmed in February 1972 features multiple versions of the songs Black Snake and Breakthrough we have included the two takes of Black Snake and three takes of Breakthrough featuring different camera angles and back projections. This DVD includes the multiple takes to include different camera angles and back projections." [Gonzo]

Various Artists-Bambara Mystic Soul: The Raw Sound Of Burkina Faso 1974-1979 $24.00
These compilations of African rock/funk/Afro-hypnotic keep being released and they generally keep being great. This one, made up of releases from Burkina Faso, circa 1974-1979 is no exception. Conditionally highly recommended.
"For its commemorative 10th release, Analog Africa indulges in Burkina Faso, one of the jewels of the Sahel, a harsh and arid strip that straddles the southern Sahara, stretching from Dakar in the west to Djibouti in the east. Formerly known as Haute Volta, Burkina Faso's sound was organized and nurtured during the country's time as part of a vast patchwork making up French colonial West Africa. The rise of a post-independence urban middle class willing to invest in the Burkinabe arts spawned a cadre of singers, bands, orchestras and, most importantly, competitive record labels who all played their part in ushering in a golden age of music in their landlocked nation during the 1970s -- a decade marred by political instability in the country and an era of artistic enlightenment, empowering the whole of Africa. The Sahelian climate fortunately bore no influence on the Burkinabé sound, which is cosmopolitan as it was raw. West Africa was and continues to remain deeply interconnected. In search of better gigs, well-to-do producers and sufficient recording equipment, Burkinabe musicians ventured across the surrounding region, returning home with a wealth of knowledge of their neighbors' distinctive styles. The raw sound of Burkina Faso combined Afro-funk, traditional Islamic rhythms and subtle Afro-Latin sounds brought over by visiting Cuban ensembles. Mandingue melodies and guitar techniques from Mali and Guinea, however, were by far the most defining traits of a potent African mix that distinguished the Voltaic style between 1974 and 1979. Beginning with L'Harmonie Voltaique and Super Volta (both featured on this compilation), the pioneering orchestras from the capital Ouagadougou, several groups followed suit. Regional orchestras outside of the capital proudly boasted the contemporary sound through ensembles such as Echo Del Africa National and Volta Jazz, and exported much needed skilled musicians back to the capital. Record labels across Burkina Faso sprung up to capture the newly-born mystical and soulful sound taking over the country. Volta Discobel and Club Voltaique Du Disque (CVD) emerged in 1974 and competed for the modern music of their people. Despite its humble beginnings as a record shop, CVD came to dominate the industry. Both labels worked with the heavyweights of the time, such as the majestic Amadou Ballaké, a national icon who is featured extensively on this compilation. By the mid-'70s, Ouagadougou had become a hotbed for African music, filled with touring bands, gifted instrumentalists and hypnotic vocalists. Bamogo Jean Claube, the founder of Afro-Soul System, went from being a "musician's tailor" to a celebrated singer. Ballaké himself jumped from job to job before being recognized for his graceful voice. While it might be Analog Africa's venture into possibly the most obscure of African sounds thus far, the sounds of the golden age of Burkinabé music deserve to be heard and the varying styles that came to define the era are completely covered on this 16-track release."

Nicklas Barker-El Ultimo fin de Semana $13.00
Back in stock!
This is a totally surprise and a big thrill for Anekdoten fans who have been waiting a LONG time for a new release. This is a Spanish suspense film soundtrack by the guitarist/keyboardist/composer Nicklas Barker of Anekdoten, and while it has elements of that Anekdoten sound, what it *really* has is the sound of his side-project Morte Macabre, which I am sure many of you remember. For those of you who don't remember Morte Macabre, what this means is that this is a dark, mellotron-soaked horror movie soundtrack, with heavy influences from the 70s classics from Goblin and Fabio Frizzi. Joining Nicklas (who doesn't play guitar here, opting for mellotron, theremen, synths and bass) are Anekdoten/Morte Macabre drummer Peter Nordins, Martha Barker on cello and Karolina Bergstron on violin. Great, great atmospheric/dark/spooky stuff and big fun. [Azafran]

Erik Baron/D-Zakord-De Futura Hiroshima $9.00 (special)
While they last, this is $7.00 off the usual price.
"Erik Baron is a bass player and leader of the band from the Bordeaux band 'DésAccordes'. This third album, after 'Cordeyades' and 'In C', is revisiting Jannick top’s Magnum Opus 'De futura Hiroshima', initially released on Magma’s album 'Udu Wudu'. Six bass players, six guitar players plus one drummer re-invent this classic from 'Zeuhl' music, with an exceptional intensity, but also with a real precision in the dialogues between basses and guitars. Recorded by Minimum Vital’s Thierry Payssan. A great album for all Zeuhl fans." [Musea]

Curved Air-The Lost Broadcasts NTSC (all region) DVD $12.00
Every time I think I can not be surprised by a archival release found somewhere and somehow negotiated for release, one shows up that amazes. This is one of those. Here is some great archival footage by the original version of the group at their peak, circa their 1st and 2nd albums. Note that part of their performance was originally part of the same Beat Club broadcast that featured the Soft Machine that we released on Grides! This is less than one minute shy of 40' and is fully authorized and taken from the original video masters in the archives of Radio Bremen/Beat Club, crazy, dated effects and all.
" This DVD contains three separate sessions with two from 1971. The first set from March 1971 featured three tracks, Vivaldi, It Happened Today and Propositions. All three tracks come from the Air Conditioning album. The next session filmed by the band came in September 1971 when the band would record two sessions just two days apart on the 20th and 22nd of September. Two versions of Back Street Luv were recorded on this day along with the extended Piece of Mind both tracks coming from the bands biggest selling album Second Album. The drummer on these sessions was not the bands regular drummer but a session drummer Barry de Souza." [Gonzo]

Elton Dean's Ninesense-Ninesense Suite $19.00
Back in stock!
A previously unreleased, great sounding release by Elton's fantastic, Brotherhood of Breath-influenced nonet Ninesense from their very final tour would be amazing enough on its own, but this is actually even more than that. This has their performance of June 20, 1981, which is over 40' + a 37' long trio show from April 24, 1982 by Harry Beckett, Harry Miller and Louis Moholo! Essential Brit-jazz from the archives and absolutely worth it! [Jazzwerkstatt]

Discipline-To Shatter All Accord $13.00
This is definitely a cause for celebration. In their heyday (let's say the mid to late 90s, Discipline were an amazingly great US band who performed dark symphonic rock. Led by vocalist/composer/keyboardist Matthew Parmenter, the focus is always on him and his vocal and compositional and lyrical talents. Having said that, the band were a tremendous outfit; as important as Matthew is to the group, so is guitarist Jon Preston Bouda, bassist Matthew Kennedy and drummer Paul Dzendzel, all of whom play really excellently and add the perfect accompaniment to transform Matthew's songs into full blown masterpieces of dynamic, dark, moody rock. The group seemed on the verge of breaking big when they fell apart around 2000. Sometime about 7 years later, the original four got back together again, playing shows and working on new material and, finally, we get to hear the results here. It's an extremely strong release and shows them, once again, at the top of the the heap as far as US progressive/symphonic bands go. Great compositions with a lot of drama, intensity flair and lightness and shade. The sound is a bit different than their masterpiece from 15 (!!) years ago, Unfolded Like Staircase, but equally great. Matthew - as he did before - adds bits on violin and sax which are really clever and add to the over-all sound and the band is their usual wonderful selves. This is as good as it gets, folks. Highly recommended. [Strung Out]

Discipline-Live 1995 NTSC (All Region) DVD $20.00
Back in stock!
Discipline were an amazingly great US band who performed dark symphonic rock. I saw them 3 times and they really rocked my socks in a way that very few modern-day symphonic rock bands do. This includes tracks from their two albums and lots and lots of tracks that were never recorded. The main part of the DVD is an hour and a half of the band live in 1995 (a little before their peak, but still in excellent shape) and then there is an hour of other live material from 1988, 1992, 1997 and 1998. The program is professional and looks pretty fine. Recommended.

Peter Hammill-Live in Berlin 1992 2 x CDs + NTSC (all region) DVD $11.00 (special)
Back in stock!
Unbelievable killer price on this double CD/DVD set. This title contains the entire soundtrack to "In the Passionkirche", a DVD that first came out legitimately on videotape in the early 1990s and cost a fortune. Now you can get the entire show  (with a pretty fine track listing - see below) on CD (play it through your stereo system) and also on DVD (watch it on your TV) for a really low price!
"In 1991 Peter Hammill released the album Fall Of The House Of Usher based around the story of the same name by Edgar Alan Poe. The album has never been performed live in its entirety however during solo concerts in late 1991 and 1992 Peter Hammill performed an edited suite of songs from the album., One such concert took place at The Passionkirche in Berlin in April 1992. For many of Peter Hammill's long time fans this performance holds a special place and bootleg copies have traded between fans for many years. The jewel for many fans of course is the Usher Suite although here in a stark solo performance where Peter alternates between piano and occasionally guitar Peter Hammill performs a number of songs from his long solo career drawing on material from previous albums. This has also been reformatted by Peter Hammill to reflect the true running order of the actual concert."

Helmet Of Gnats-Helmet of Gnats hybrid SACD/CD $13.00
Back again for the first time in years and happy to have it back too!
I am very used to getting self-released CDs that have excellent music but are very unprofessionally put together. I am much less used to finding something like this: An excellent fusion outfit who have self released their album as a hybrid CD/SACD (playable on any CD player, but if you pop it into a SACD player, you get all the extra sound quality that SACD's are known for. And it's a *stereo/multi-channel SACD*, which means if you are set up for 5.1 sound, you'll get that! Yowzah. But that would really mean bupkis if the music isn't worthy, and the music here is extremely worthy. This is a four piece consisting of Chris Fox on electric and acoustic guitars, Matt Bocchino-piano and keyboards (he favors an old Hammond B3 much of the time), Wayne Zito-electric fretted and fretless basses and Mark Conese on drums. This is one of the better fusion albums that *I* heard in 2004, with excellent playing and good melodies amongst the hot solos! [Ambient]

Helmet of Gnats-High Street $13.00
First I was wowed by HoG's great, self-titled album and then I saw them blow the roof off the joint at ProgDay 2005 (metaphorically speaking, since ProgDay doesn't have a roof...). They were one of the best, hard-hitting fusion bands I have seen, putting some bigger names to shame. I never knew anything about their background, but according to the notes, the group has been around since the 80s - and in terms of tightness, they sure sound like it. The band a four piece consisting of Chris Fox on guitars, Matt Bocchino-piano and keyboards (he favors a Hammond B3 much of the time), Wayne Zito-electric bass and Mark Conese on drums. This long-awaited 2010 disc consolidates this band as one of the US's best modern fusion groups. [Ambient]

Humcrush with Sidsel Endresen-Ha! $18.00
"Ha! is the fourth Humcrush album, this time with the most welcome addition of singer Sidsel Endresen. Having toured together for a couple of years, they finally recorded some shows in 2010. This album was beautifully recorded in concert at the Willisau Jazzfestival and is a great example of the duo's seamless interaction as well as Endresen's ability to improvise, listen, react, adapt and surprise, fully showing that we are dealing with one of the world´s leading vocal improvisers, coming from years of experience out of solo work and collaborations with musicians like Bugge Wesseltoft, Helge Sten, Christian Wallumrød, Rolf Wallin, Jan Bang, Håkon Kornstad and Stian Westerhus. Sidsel Endresen worked as a singer and co-writer in the Jon Eberson Group from 1981-1987, releasing five albums and winning two Norwegian Grammys. In 1990 and 1994, she recorded two solo albums for ECM. The '90s also saw a very fruitful collaboration with Bugge Wesseltoft, resulting in three albums and two more Grammys. Since 2000, she has done solo projects, written film music and collaborated further with Norwegian and international artists. She has toured all over the world, written music for several theater and dance perfomances and has been festival composer for the jazz festivals in Bergen and Molde. And these are only some of her credentials. Thomas Strønen has studied music and composition. He is a regular member of several bands, most notably Food, Maria Kannegaard Trio, Meadow and Parish, the quartet led by the great pianist Bobo Stenson. Ståle Storløkken is a founding member of Supersilent, Elephant9, Terje Rypdal's Skywards and Bol. He is probably the most versatile and adventurous electric keyboard player operating on the Norwegian scene at the moment." [Rune Grammofon]

Darius Jones Trio-Big Gurl $15.00
"And now, this is alto saxophonist/composer Darius Jones' highly anticipated second recording as a bandleader, and it delivers in killin' fashion. Big Gurl (Smell My Dream) presents the next chapter of his ongoing Man'ish Boy series of compositions introduced on Jones' widely acclaimed debut, Man'ish Boy (A Raw & Beautiful Thing). Whereas the first record was inspired by aspects of Jones' early childhood in rural Virginia, Big Gurl (Smell My Dream) takes inspiration from his years of study, experimentation and self-discovery at university where he began the search for his own voice. This album features his long-standing trio with young bright lights of the NYC music universe, bassist Adam Lane and drummer Jazon Nazary; the trio fully owns this new book of Jones' indelible compositions."

Knight Area-Nine Paths $14.00
"Not content to simply stick to a musical formula, Knight Area will surprise their fanbase with Nine Paths. While remaining firmly faithful to the symphonic rock tradition, the band has gone one step further and added a harder edge to their sound. This transformation comes courtesy of noted producer Neil Kernon (Cannibal Corpse, Queensryche, Nile) who’s mix has provided a more contemporary approach to progressive rock. The track “Please Come Home” features a guest vocal appearance by Charlotte Wessels (Delain). The music of Nine Paths is perfectly complemented by the fantasy art of Dennis Sibeijn at Damn Engine"
"Knight Area's fourth release, Nine Paths, is simply a great sounding album of melodic progressive rock. Earlier works were likely gathered under the symphonic rock genre also. But Nine Paths seems to find Knight Area upping the rock ante just a bit. With that said, don't think that founder, composer, and keyboardist Gerben Klazinga is not offering an abundance of his synthesizer finesse. Yet you'll notice an emphasis on straight melodic rock in Clueless, where prog nuances have been vacated. Even the instrumental Pride and Joy sounds more like a rock tune, even though keyboards and guitar get into some serious duets and dueling. Perhaps the clearest representation of melodic rock (also with some symphonic notes) is the incredible ballad Please Come Home, where Mark Smit is joined by Charlotte Wessels (Delain) in a brilliant duet. Yet, those rock notes arise in segments within other tracks as in the latter half of Summerland or with larger sound created by big riffs over synths in the heart of The Balance. Fundamentally, Nine Paths is melodic progressive rock. The opener Ever Since You Killed Me looms large in both progression and instrumentation. Later, The Balance, Wakerun, and Angel's Call offer more flashes of ingenuity than some bands can offer over several albums. One overarching element amidst these three is the impressive bass line within each. Next most notable is the satisfying drum work, as within Wakerun around four minutes where it the movement with near atmospheric color. It also introduces a heavier part of the song, advancing again that greater emphasis on a rock edge. In the end, as said earlier, Nine Paths simply sounds great. The musical canvas is large and Knight Area fills it with color and imagination to entertaining effect. Nine Paths is a must have for fans of melodic progressive rock. Strongly recommended." 5.0/5.0 - Danger Dog.com [Laser's Edge]

Machine Mass Trio-As Real As Thinking $13.00
"Originally born as a side-project of douBt, this new trio led by Tony Bianco (on drums and loops) and Michel Delville (on guitar, bouzouki and live effects) also includes emerging Belgian talent Jordi Grognard on saxophones, bass clarinet and flute. “As Real as Thinking” is an amazing mix of fiery licks, catchy themes, telepathic rhythms, shamanic soundscapes and processed loops -- testifying to the band’s compositional flair and extraordinary musicianship. The music is meaningfully condensed -- consistently powerful without being overwhelming -- and will appeal to fans of progressive jazz, world music and rock audiences with an ear for the unusual. The CD sounds alternately groovy and meditative, trancy and punkish, modern and ethnic, cloudy and clear. It also features an explosive 18-minute duet between Bianco and Delville (guitarist also with MoonJune Recording artists' The Wrong Object) -- showcasing the musicians’ seemingly boundless energy, and extraordinary capacity to listen to each other and improvise over insane chord, rhythm and time changes while handling live electronics."

Malcolm Mooney & the Tenth Planet-InCANtations vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) $11.00Limited edition of only 400 copies! Some years ago, I chanced to meet the former bassist of this band, who gave me a copy of the group's 'demo only' CD. I wasn't expecting much, but it was actually really good and played up to Malcolm's strengths! Since that time there have been no further releases (and the CD I received was never actually released, afaik) and I assumed the project was gone. But lo-and-behold, here is the group's first generally available release (if you consider 400 copies made to be 'generally available'). Attention collectors! Yoo hoo!
"You may think you know something about legendary poet, painter, singer and sculptor Malcolm Mooney and perhaps you do. But until you hear this LP, you are missing what may be the best part of the story to date. Worshipers of the Can's Monster Movie and other recordings from the Mooney years (1968-1970) are legion and we at Milvia Son count ourselves amongst those fans. So we were intrigued when we heard that the Tenth Planet's orbit was once again merging with that of the earth, with the objective this time around to perform only classic Mooney-era Can material. Our toes lifted in our boots when we learned that this incarnation of the Tenth Planet featured the dueling guitars of Stephen Clarke (Arkansaw Man) and Len Paterson (Flowtilla), bassist Peter Conheim (Negativland) and drummer Marc Weinstein (MX-80). And when we eventually heard the music, well, our boots were blown off. We greeted the dawn of another silvery day in the history of West Coast head music: guitar-woven tapestries of molten metal, lubricious rhythms and Malcolm's inimitable vocals lifting everything up into that special sector. The bad politics were erased from our minds. The album includes eight choice tracks culled from two Bay Area shows circa 2010, excellently recorded by Bernice Nippelhalter and pressed onto glorious blue spattered vinyl. Full color sleeves featuring Mal's artwork on the front and back, plus a lyric sheet inside so you can read along with the music (not recommended while dancing)." [Milvia Son]

Considered a "supergroup" by the Danish rock press, Secret Oyster originally formed in 1973. Notable members include Karsten Vogel (sax) and Jess Staehr (bass) from Burnin' Red Ivanhoe, Kenneth Knudsen (keyboards) and Ole Streenberg (drums) from Coronarias Dans, and guitarist Claus Bohling of Hurdy Gurdy. In 1975 Secret Oyster was commissioned by noted Danish choreographer Flemming Flindt to create the music for "Vidunderlige Kaelling," the provocative ballet based on the erotic poetry of Jens August Schade. With contributions from ECM recording artist Palle Mikkelborg and Kasper Winding, the recording sessions resulted in their 3rd album, also released the following year in the USA as "Astarte." Thirty years later it is considered a jazz rock classic that will appeal to fans of Soft Machine, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Return To Forever. With the co-operation of the band, "Vidunderlige Kaelling" features 3 previously unreleased bonus tracks and new liner notes from Karsten Vogel." [Laser's Edge]

Sun Ra-Three Classic Albums 2 x CDs $9.00 (special)
Back in stock!
This is three great, early classics by Ra, from the mid to late 50s. You get Jazz By Sun Ra, Supersonic Jazz and Jazz in Silhouette. This is before the moogs and the space chants, but was there ever a greater post hard bop big band in the 50s than the Arkestra? If so, I don't know it. Highly and hugely recommended.

Taj Mahal Travellers-August 1974 2 x CDs $25
Reissue of this rare and legendary album. TMT was led by Fluxus member Takehisa Kosugi (electric violin, harmonica, voice, etc.) with Kyo Koike (electric double bass), suntool, voice, etc.), Yukio Tsuchiya (bass-tuba, percussion), Beiji Nagai (trumpet, synthesizer Mini-Korg, timpani), Tokio Hasegaw (voice, percussion), Kinji Hayashi (electronic technique), Hirokeszu Sato (percussion, voice). Recorded live at Nippon Columbia Studio #1, Tokyo, August 19, 1974. Four side-long improvisations.
"Some of the most satisfying acoustic drone ever made. albeit this belongs in the category of spaced out hippie free collective improvisation, but its sophistication and superior craft tower over thousands of imitators. It is not lazy like so many others in this vein, but rather full of ideas and invention. yes tantric buddhist chant and avant classical and rock'n'roll (in the loosest of loose definitions) CAN fuse into an incredible cosmic consciousness "thing". And yes it can be exhilarating and wonderful and soul nourishing. This is the stuff of legends."-Different Waters blogspot
"The four sides of August 1974, each about 20-minute long (the length that fit on an LP side), present the Travellers at their most sophisticated. The first jam is a concert of cosmic hisses that ebb and flow, distortions that scour the abysses of the psyche, sinister wailing and rattling that create a metaphysical suspense. At first, it straddles the line between Pink Floyd's Astronomy Domine and Klaus Schulze's Irrlicht, but then it becomes more and more abstract, recalling Sun Ra's extraterrestrial jazz-rock. Percussions are used sparingly. Violin, harmonica, bass, tuba, trumpet, synthesizer, mandolin duet in a subliminal and obscure manner. There is no melody, there is no logic. Just "voices", both subhuman and supernatural, that resonate with a universal inner voice. The second jam is a cacophonous gathering of timbres and gamelan-like tinkling, over which Tibetan chanting and droning intone a demented psalm. Halfway into the piece, the band seems to lose interest in playing, so the rest of the track is a rarified wind of tenuous sounds. The third track continues this silent journey into the unknown, with odd percussive patterns and random dissonance. As the chaos increases and exuberant voices join in, the bacchanal turns into a surreal pow-wow dance. The last jam continues the program of eerie noises and unlikely counterpoint in an atmosphere that is both dreamy and austere. We are transported to a floating zen garden, traveling on a flying saucer. A wavering harp-like melody invites to meditation, and, for a while, the spiritual mood prevails. Then the percussions break the spell, introducing the usual element of indeterminacy and heresy, and the trip ends, one more time, in the resonating depths of distant galaxies."-Piero Scaruffi [Phoenix]

Third Ear Band-The Lost Broadcasts NTSC (all region) DVD $12.00
Every time I think I can not be surprised by a archival release found somewhere and somehow negotiated for release, one shows up that amazes. This is one of those. Here we have the infamous, crazy Third Ear Band in September 1970 from their appearance on Germany's famed TV program "Beat Club". This is less than one minute shy of 30' and is fully authorized and taken from the original video masters in the archives of Radio Bremen/Beat Club, crazy, dated effects and all!
"At the time of these performances which were recorded from September 1970, the band consisted of Glen Sweeney, Paul Minns, Denim Bridges and Paul Buckmaster, who would go onto work with Elton John amongst many other high profile artists. Three pieces were filmed on the 11th of September including the unreleased ‘Hyde Park’. The other two tracks were ‘David Grocking’ and ‘In D’, which is thought to be ‘Raga in D’. ‘Druid Grocking’ was played during a John Peel Top Gear session in the summer of 1969 and is an extended workout of the song ‘Druid One’ from the ‘Alchemy’ album. ‘In D’ is a piece originally recorded at the sessions for the debut album ‘Alchemy’."

David S. Ware-Organica: Solo Saxophones, Volume 2 $15.00
"Every David S. Ware solo concert performance is a rare and magisterial happening. This happened twice in 2010 and both concerts are presented here in their entirety. The first took place in March at an intimate, invite-only event in Brooklyn; the second took place at the Umbrella Music Festival in Chicago in early November. It was later in November that Ware and group recorded Planetary Unknown (AUM 068CD). This is the second volume in a planned series of DSW solo recordings and is printed in a strictly limited CD edition of 1000. Further to his tenor, Ware recently added the sopranino (pitched one full octave above the alto) to his arsenal, and these concerts were his public debut on the new horn. As Tim Niland wrote in his Music and More blog: 'There is nothing rushed here, the music is patient and distinguished, and Ware's beautiful golden tone, echoing the masters like Hawkins, Coltrane and Rollins, shines like the light from a powerful star.'"

Various Artists-The Best of 2Days Prog 2 x (PAL) DVDs $24.00

This has two hours of professionally shot and edited footage from the event and available nowhere else and included are: Delirium (13 minutes), New Trolls aka La Leggenda New Trolls (27 minutes), Il Catello di Atlante (9 minutes), Pendragon (26 minutes), Gazpacho (27 minutes), Moongarden (17 minutes) and Proteo (9 miniutes).

Abrete Gandul-Enjambre Sismico $18.00
Back in stock!
This is the second release by this Chilean instrumental progressive quartet of keyboards, guitar, bass and drums. Their first album was quite good although it passed by sort of un-noticed and it's nice their back on a higher-profile label to give it another shot!
"Marked by an evident Crimso vein, both in the harmonical geometries and in general for the sound, the band proposes an instrumental formula that ranges over ethereal atmospheres and granitic tangles, a perfect synthesis of electric and electronic, in an ongoing game of references between guitars, keyboards and the sax of Leo Aries (Akinetón Retard, from Chile as well). Thanks to a solid technic and solo skills, Abrete Gandul shows the possibility of a genuinely eclectic and perfectly recognizable approach."

Pheeroan AkLaaf-House of Spirit: Mirth $24.00
I've long known the great drummer Pheeroan AkLaaf for his work with Anthony Davis' mind-blowingly great Episteme group in the 80s, as well as many other ensembles and projects of 30 years ago and more recent ones as well, and now with Wadada Leo Smith in the Golden Quartet and Organic. This is his first album as a leader and it's one that I didn't even know existed until this reissue!
"Drummer and composer Pheeroan AkLaff's House of Spirit:Mirth featured in Soul Jazz Record's recent revolutionary jazz covers book compiled by Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker (Soul Jazz Records). This album was originally released in 1979 on the composer Oliver Lake's bespoke private-press label Passin Thru' Inc., a not for profit label 'dedicated to fostering, promoting and advancing the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the arts.' Consequently House of Spirit remains one of the most elusive deep jazz releases of its time to collectors. Aklaff was an original of the Detroit jazz scene of the early 70s alongside musicians of the Tribe (Wendell Harrison, Phil Ranelin, Doug Hammond) and Strata collective (Kenny Cox and Charles Moore) and local luminaries such as Travis Biggs before moving to New York in the mid-1970s to work at the centre of the vibrant loft/radical jazz scene. Here he worked and recorded with original greats such as Oliver Lake, Wadada Leo Smith, Anthony Davis (with numerous releases on India Navigation and other radical NY avant-jazz labels). At this time Coltrane drummer Rashied Ali became mentor to AkLaff , with Aklaff practically living at Ali's legendary club/live space 'Ali's Alley'. House of Spirit: Mirth is one of the most radical of deep jazz releases of its time. Avant-garde beyond a doubt but with an Afro-centric rhythmical intensity hard to find in the myriad of independent free/loft jazz recorded in New York at the time. This bespoke perfect replica reissue comes in a limited edition hardback box-case CD edition." [Universal Sound]

The Amazing-Gentle Stream $16.00
"This is the second proper full-length album by Swedish super-group The Amazing. The Amazing fell far from the tree. A natural process: coming together through affection, then slowly crystallizing into a folk-rock-psych-pop-collective slowly pushing, bending, then playing with any preconceived notions of pop. When a band takes a name like The Amazing, they'd better have the chops to back it up. Happily, this Swedish outfit -- a collective headed by Reine Fiske and Johan Holmegard of neo-psych juggernauts Dungen and singer-songwriter Christoffer Gunrup -- are masterful enough to take that mantle on. Friends first and foremost, it's this kindred spirit that imbues the band album with a feeling unlike that of most releases -- one of natural harmony, persistent progression and with a panoramic gaze fixed on distant settings. Gentle Stream is widescreen, panoramic, horizon-reaching stuff. An elegantly-constructed record of moody psychedelic majesty, it comes with a greater dose of CSNY-style Laurel Canyon bliss than those previous recordings. Its eight songs clock in at a luxurious 45 minutes long, during which astral guitars intertwine in serpentine solos, horns blast rainbow melodies and Gunrup's flute-like voice floats elegantly over the sunset sounds. Nothing is introverted or overworked -- everything is balanced, kept together by natural melodies, soulful vocals and just how perfect should be. Gentle Stream is a feeling, an organic consequence of something that effortlessly came together. The line-up completed by Fredrik Swahn, Alexis Benson and highly-rated jazz musicians Moussa Fadera and Jonas Kullhammar, The Amazing recorded the new LP in Stockholm, Sweden and formed plans to collect themselves in this incredible unison. There are doubtless stories to be told. Including the one about playing a show for the Swedish Royal Family and Pink Floyd, where in the crowd Roger Waters appreciatively caught a bouquet thrown from the band during a standing ovation, but this mysterious band hold one principle dear to their hearts:  'The music speaks for itself.'"
"...the cream of Sweden's psychedelic/neo-folk underground ... an album of rare beauty."-MOJO (4/5) [Subliminal]

Bump-2 $18.00
"Bump's 2 (the unreleased second album) was recoded in 1971, just a year later after the debut album, also on Pioneer Records and also produced by Gary A. Rubin. Paul Lupien (organ), George Runyan (bass, vocals), Alan Goldman (guitar) and Jerome Charles Greenberg (drums) recorded 8 great tracks which never came out. This is a fantastic prog/psychedelic monster, a mixture of dreamy organ psych with heavy fuzz bluster, very much like CA Quintet. Ghostly, swirly organs, burning rough guitars, sound effects, fuzz/wah-wah guitars, trippy, lysergic vocals and great melodies. A killer album from start to finish. Includes the original artwork."

"If you're lucky, very very occasionally, an album comes along which completely blows you away, and you know it will be with you for life. It goes on heavy heavy rotation, and your life BECOMES the album for a while, and you know you'll never be quite the same again. Many strange threads coincided which eventually led me to listen to the 1971 album by Comus, "First Utterance". I was instantly hooked (something that never happens when I listen in a record shop). It was the weirdest "Folk" (for want of a better term) that I had ever heard. "This is for me", I thought. Since I bought it last week I haven't been able to stop playing it, over and over again. It's totally incredible. So what does it sound like? Well, that's very hard to describe because it doesn't really sound anything like I have ever heard before...Thematically it is mostly VERY dark, dealing with pagan gods, sacrifice, rape, death, hanging, mental illness, and necrophilia etc. But don't let that put you off, as the music and delivery are quite simply stunning and mind blowing. The main instrumentaion is acoustic 12-string and some electric guitar, bongos, flute, violin, bass guitar (sometimes played glissando style - think Steve Hillage/Daevid Allen), and male and female vocals. The musical style and singing technique conjour up images of Greek satyrs stomping through forests on a dark moonlit night. It has a very animalistic and pagan vibe. It is also an extremely psychedelic album. I could rant on and on, but I will stop soon. It is ceratainly not an album for everybody, but for those that enjoy the dark and the very very weird, it is a true masterpiece, and I know I'll never be the same again now that it has become a part of me. Highly recommended!!!"-Julian Cope Presents Head Heritage [Get]

William D. Drake-The Rising of the Lights $20.00
As the universe reels in pain from the reality, yet becomes used to the idea, of a 'post Cardiacs world', music is still being created by some of the ex-members. And the more I hear, the more I realize what a talented crew manned that ship. William D. Drake was a member of the group and this is his fourth and latest solo album. You can definitely hear traces of Cardiacs in his work, but there's a lot more too. It's mostly songs, but every now and then you will be surprised by a rather intricate and lengthy instrumental or instrumental introduction. like "Mastodon" or "Ziegler". Really nice. This demands I listen to it more. Read below!
"Here's what I know about William D. Drake. He used to be in English band Cardiacs. He's obviously interested in English folk and medieval music - I have a hunch he enjoys silent film soundtracks too. His music is playful and quite surreal, but not at the expense of passion and energy. The instrumental track Ziegler starts like a Buster Keaton chase sequence (with twirling clarinet) before becoming very like the theme tune to (the fondly remembered Irish children's tv programme) Wanderly Wagon. He's a fantastic piano player, who sounds like he'd be right at home with jazz, classical, traditional or any other genre you'd like to throw at him. The song Ornamental hermit concerns the (presumably discontinued, although you never know) practice of wealthy English families keeping a hermit on their grounds. The title of the album refers to a disease found in 18th century London. Super altar is a medieval harpsichord melody glued together with a post-punk organ solo. On the other hand, In an ideal world is a plainly beautiful piano ballad. Overall, the album is warm, funny and hard to pin down. Not to worry, because above all it's get-under-your-skin pop music. Learn to love it like a warm memory."-

Hi,

Two amazing releases from Soleil Zeuhl:

Eider Stellaire-1 (expanded/remastered) $18.00
For those who take communion at the altar of Zeuhl, the small but completely excellent Soleil Zeuhl label always deliver the goods. But now, they've completely outdone themselves by finally presenting a reissue of the most desired, never-before-reissued Zeuhl title in existence. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: Eider Stellaire! This is one that no one - I mean NO ONE - who knows anything about the story of this album ever thought would be reissued. Led by drummer and composer Michel Le Bars, this album was recorded and issued in 1981 in a micro private-press of only 300 lps. Michel later joined Christian Vander's post-Magma band Offering. In the late 70s, while developing the material that would soon emerge as this album, Eider Stellaire were often the opening act for Magma; a perfect pairing as both bands shared a similar music vision: the European 20th century classical roots (Bartok, Orff, Stravinsky) mixed with rock energy, the heightened importance of they rhythm section in their musical presentation and wordless female vocals.
There were to be two follow up albums, both of which are good, but this is *the* one folks. Lots of 'legends' have grown up around this album and this band, the most famous being that having found god and having felt abandoned by his first god (music), that Michel Le Bars (a) killed himself, (b) killed the band (c) destroyed the tapes (d) other horrible things. What of all of this is or is not true, I can not say (well, I know that Le Bars is alive), but this issue looks and sounds great and it's a real pleasure to offer it to the public. This release not only contains the entire, original album, reissued legitimately for the very first time and sounding shockingly better than the really bad versions floating around as mp3s, but it includes an excellent, 10 minute long, never-heard alternate take of the final track, Nihil. Highly recommended! [Soleil Zeuhl]

One Shot-Live in Tokyo $18.00
Everyone reading Wayside lists should know who these guys are by now, but just in case you don't, One Shot are a tremendous, heavily zeuhl, instrumental jazz/rock band that features 3 musicians taken from the current line up of Magma + a great drummer, playing a very different but still totally amazing music. By now, they have their own distinctive sound and for my money, they are one of the very best jazz/rock bands on the circuit today. Amazing stuff and highly recommended. This is the first recordings available with their new keyboardist (and also now the new keyboardist of Magma), Bruno Ruder. This was recorded in a small club in Tokyo and the sound is big, expansive and really rocking with tremendous dynamics. Having seen this wonderful group live three times, I can definitely state that this is a band that is at their best live, and here - with a new member giving them a different energy than before and having traveled further than they had ever traveled for a series of concerts, they really poured their hearts into this performance. Great to the point of possibly being a definitive release. As always, bassist Philippe Bussonet is a revelation, but the other musicians are as well. Highly recommended. [Soleil Zeuhl]

Analogy-Analogy (expanded) $23.00
Back in stock!
"Analogy are undisputedly among the classic bands of German rock. Their only LP is valued at around US$1400 in prime condition. The magnificent title track "Analogy", from which the band took its name and which is included in the present selection, reminds us of the psychedelic music of early Pink Floyd and is one of the highlights of this musical genre. The band consisted of four German musicians living in Italy at the time, and one Italian, who left the band shortly after the release of their LP because of internal band disputes. A certain part of later Analogy CD and LP publications were initially illegal, but later approved by the band after amicable settlements. Next to numerous pictures, the 32-page colour booklet features a detailed band history and a complete discography with Analogy off-springs. The music was taken from master tapes."

Arteria-Cuatro Visiones $14.00
Arteria are a new, instrumental, avant-progressive Mexican ensemble, led by bassoonist Juan Carlos Ruiz, who was also one of the key musicians of Nazca and Culto sin Nombre. Like Nazca and Culto sin Nombre, the music is hugely influenced by the early sound of Univers Zero. In addition to Juan Carlos, also appearing is Adolfo Zaragoza Cerecero (guitar), Mari Carmen Gaue (electric cello) and former Iconoclasta member Victor Baldovinos (drums) as well as electronic programming, which adds a nice and contemporary (and original) touch to the proceedings here. With Nazca, Juan Carlos was one of the better (and earliest) musicians using the 'UZ' vibe as a base for his own creative explorations and with Arteria, which has the best compositions for one of his groups that I've heard, he's reached a new peak. You need something to scratch that "Heresie" itch? It's right here! Highly recommended.
"Juan Carlos Ruiz is a veteran composer, a soul that has given the music and who has left parts of his gut and his heart in some groups like Nazca and Cult With No Name (Culto Sin Nombre), among others.  A couple of years ago he began to gestate in the middle of gray, black and white colors, a new group called Arteria, avant-garde quartet that debuts today with this album you have in your hands. Like the music that preceded it, Arteria is a manifestation of the gloom, an announcement, usually ominous, of the horror, of the hollows, of the unfortunate.  And in this vocation, Juan Carlos Ruiz is accompanied by MariCarmen Graue, Victor Baldovinos and Adolfo Zaragoza, three players of proven ability but with little affection for indulgent virtuosity. Instead, they have laid their virtues in the hands of the instigator of this project who could not postpone the possibility of becoming a demiurge, who has assumed the task of moving harmoniously the threads of a thin web.  In fact, rather than an orchestrator or a leader, the bassoonist is a painter decided to sketch the creepy, to give body and volume to the darkness. It has a track record under his arm where the impressionist landscapes abound, the brush strokes inspired by gothic literature, the stories of a group of authors who, like him, are comfortable living in otherness."

Barn Owl-Lost in the Glare $16.00
Fifth album by this excellent, San Francisco-based guitar duo (who previously used harmonium and with this release switch to organ). This is the sort of stoner/drone thing that you either really dig or don't. I dig.
"Lost in the Glare is Barn Owl's second album for Thrill Jockey, and follows quickly on the heels of their acclaimed 12" EP Shadowland. Like Shadowland the album was recorded to tape by Phil Manley in San Francisco's Lucky Cat Studios. Lost in the Glare is made up of material composed over the course of a year and recorded in sessions throughout the winter of 2011. At the heart of the album's sound is the dual guitar interaction between Caminiti and Porras, a spiraling web of interlocking gestures that give way to bone rattling, monolithic progressions and dusty drifts. The mostly finger picked guitars weave in and out of each other in precise movements that recall the hypnotic influence of American minimalists. The harmonium that was prevalent on previous recordings has been replaced on Lost in the Glare with the undulations of a Farfisa organ. The songs here are deep, cosmic excursions. Rich in dynamics, the record possesses a transcendental tone through both a densely layered combination of electric and acoustic instruments and walls of melting amplifiers and feedback alchemy. The lines between strict structure and ordered chaos blur as third-eye opening e-bowed drones explode like beams of light and corrode into crumbling distortion, baking tones that sizzle like brittle bones left in the desert sun."

Alessandro Baris (drums, guitars, keyboards, electronics), Leonardo Chirulli (keyboards), Fabio Elia (bass).
"Comfort - whose lineup is generally supplemented with multiple guests - is an eleven-year-old collective that have been variously described as post-rock, electronic, jazz, ambient and/or soundtrack. They describe their sound as an exploration between these genres - naturally coming from players of deep and varied musical roots - an in-between where the band operate with 'comfort' and without preconception, where the music becomes the pulse of their instinctive mood. Their most recent release, Sleep Talking Shared, (2009) was described as "intelligent, dexterous, jazzy rocktronica" (The Silent Ballet) with a "staggering diversity in mood and texture" (Tiny Mix Tapes). Exclaim Magazine said "though their scope is broad and guests many, the band is careful to let the instruments breathe and the silences matter". Proximity, the group's third full length, continues to explore among multiple genres and expands on their sound by adding vocals to many tracks. Guests here include Joseph Costa (L'Altra), Lindsay Anderson (L'Altra, Telefon Tel Aviv, Will Oldham), Anna Tomlin (Audrey), and Beppe Scardino (Orange Room, El Gallo Rojo Collective). Comfort recently played the Domino Festival in Brussels and have shared the stage with, among others, Joe Lally, Piano Magic, Do Make Say Think, and Autobam." [482]

Dies Irae-Dies Irae $16.00
"Produced for the legendary Pilz label and engineered by Conny Planck in 1971. Dies Irae were a heavy progressive group who recorded their sole album for Pilz before the label fell into the hands of Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser. Dominated by blues, 'First' is a heavy progressive effort owing much to the heavy blues sound and occult nature of Black Sabbath's debut album. Song titles such as 'Lucifer', 'Harmagedon Dragonlove', and 'Witches Meeting' display the groups interest in the dark side. The standout track for krautrock fans is sure to be the seven-minute freak out 'Trip'. A spacey track, 'Trip' begins with an outstanding electronic collage which gives way to a peaceful free flowing jam containing acid-drenched celestial vocals. Fans of the heavy progressive sound will find 'Lucifer' and 'Witches Meeting' to be the best cuts. 'Lucifer' contains an ultra aggressive guitar and harmonica riff slightly reminiscent of 'The Wizard' from 'Black Sabbath'. 'Witches Meeting', an extended track encompassing numerous musical sections, contains a rocking guitar solo and a furious ending. As a whole, the album is sure to please most fans with its heavy nature. A must for all Krautrockers—Virus meets McChurch Soundroom. Psychedelic blues-rock at its best!" [Ohrwashl]

Erlkoenig-Erlkoenig (expanded) $23.00
Back in stock!
"Erlkoenig, named after the famous Goethe poem and originating in Helmstedt on the former inner-German border, played powerful and inventive symphonic rock with occasional lyrics in English. Keyboarder Eckhardt Freynik, author of all the tracks, was the creative head of the band, and one would wish that he had received more recognition for his work as it seems that the world has lost an incredibly gifted musician. The guitar is also highly remarkable. Erlkoenig’s only LP appeared in early 1973 with a circulation of 1000 copies (Resco TST 77678) and is basically known to collectors only. This CD contains four so far unreleased bonus tracks, partly in a different style. Details on the band, who unfortunately failed to make it, are to be found in the 24-page colour booklet. We are proud to say that we have managed to save their work from oblivion."
"This relatively short-lived (from 1972-77) obscure German symphonic/kraut band consisted of three members from a band called Paradise on Earth, these were; keyboardist Eckhardt Franke, drummer Michael Brandes and bassist Gunter Armbrecht, when guitarist Friedrich Kruger joined, the band name was changed to ERLKOENIG (taken after the German poem of the same name, written by the famous poet Goethe), this line-up lasted until the band disbanded in 1977. ERLKOENIG played a very interesting and unique blend of krautrock and symphonic rock, it would probably be fair to characterise them as a symphonic prog band with evident krautrock leanings. The music of ERLKOENIG is dominated by the organ skilfully and inventively played by the main composer Eckhardt Franke, much fiercer than your average symphonic prog band. The music is full of intensity, beauty, virtuosity and fairy-tale like imagery. Their output is largely instrumental but when vocals are added it has a very unique and interesting sound as to serve the mysterious nature of the music, and also a very charming German accented pronunciation. Unfortunately ERLKOENIG only released one self-titled LP during their almost 6-year long career; it was released in January 1973. It was originally privately pressed in only 1000 copies, mainly to be sold at concerts. In 2001 it was released on CD on the Garden of Delights label with 4 bonus tracks. It's very unfortunate that ERLKOENIG arn't more known than they are, for the average prog listener there should be a lot of interesting music to seek out. If you like organ-driven music with lot of dynamics and intensity, do yourself a favour, track down a copy of ERLKOENIG's self-titled debut."-Jeppe Scheel/progarchives.com [Garden Of Delights]

Free Spirits-Live At The Scene: February 22nd 1967 $18.00
An interesting period piece and yes, they are attempting to fuse jazz and rock, but, honestly Zappa was doing it better at the same time, imo. Reasonably quite ok sound for 45 year old, non-professional recordings.
"Featuring the earliest recordings of the young Larry Coryell, this short-lived quintet is widely acclaimed as the first jazz-rock band of all time. Though their landmark 1966 album captures their intense, psychedelic music well, those lucky enough to have seen them in performance maintain that their true power was only communicated live. Taped in their native NYC in February 1967, this warts-and-all live recording captures their fiery sound at its peak, with guest appearances by legendary jazzmen Dave Liebman, Randy Brecker and Joe Beck. This historically important set comes complete with detailed liner notes and rare pictures, making it essential for fans of jazz and psychedelic rock."
"Larry Coryell led this group, which made jazz-rock before such a thing existed."-Patrick Lundborg, The Acid Archives
"The Free Spirits, a New York group featuring the guitar, songwriting and singing of Larry Coryell, may have been the first band to fuse jazz and rock, investing the early psychedelic sounds of the day with adventurous, jazz-derived improvisation, horns and elastic song structures."-All Music Guide [Sunbeam]

Greylyng-I Keep Silence... $7.00 (special)
Second release by a young, avant-garde/progressive rock trio consisting of Jeff Cedrone - guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, electronics, John C. Miller - synthesizers, electronics, tapes, Stephen Zieminski - drums, percussion, mallets. It's definitely 'prog', but it definitely also sounds like today and not 35 years ago prog. Some really nice guitar work, lovely melodies here and there and a constantly exploratory sound-stance makes this well worth your attention and at this amazing price for a brand new work, a no-brainer. Recommended.
"Jeff and John formed Greylyng in autumn of 2002 with the simple intent of exploring sound. Having completed a jazz guitar performance BA from Western Conn. St University in 98', Cedrone found himself going back to his progressive/avant- garde/improv '70s roots of experimental rock. Jeff states "I always found tone, texture and sound to be as integral as melody and harmony.  This may be  why I gravitate towards effects pedals, synths, mellotrons, electric piano and the like.". Upon meeting John C. Miller, Cedrone found a sonic partner with a shared vision but from an entirely different perspective. Having coming from an extensive visual arts background with no formal musical training, Miller explored analog and modular synths, laptop sound design, violin (or whatever else was lying around). Together they formed Greylyng. In 2007 when Greylyng added Stephen. "In Greylyng..." Zieminski states " all of our roles are relative. Its equally valid for any of us to embrace texture, melody, rhythm, sound or space all while embracing the traditional strengths of our instruments". The trio version has led to a fresh outlook on form and composition to be debuted on their sophmore release."
"If you enjoy progressive music that can challenge you, rock you and calm you all in  one listen, then Greylyng is worthy of your attention... can appeal to the King Crimson prog-rock crowd as well as fans of the ambient/fusion soundworlds of Steve Roach, Robert Rich and Vidna Obmana."-Damon Lucibello

Gurumaniax-Psy Valley Hill $18.00
Back in stock!
This is something a bit special as original Guru Guru members guitarist Ax Genrich and drummer Mani Neumeier with Guy Segers, the monster bassist from mid-period Univers Zero! While you won't necessarily be confused into thinking that this is UFO or Hinten, it does manage to capture some of the very best of that sound!
"Mani Neumeier has always relished working with the most diverse of musicians. That was the case in Guru Guru days, and it is very much the same today. For his latest project Gurumaniax, he teamed up with his old colleague Ax Genrich (Guru Guru guitarist from 1970-75) and the bass player Guy Segers (doyen of Belgian avant-garde rock, founder of the key band Univers Zero). So: experience, virtuosity and professionalism to the power of three. Neumeier had been wanting to get something going with Genrich for some time. Indeed, they had shared the stage together on a number of occasions in recent years. Their last session together in the studio, however, took place around 35 years ago. The death of Guru Guru founding member Uli Trepte (track 8 is dedicated to his memory), only served to strengthen Neumeier's resolve. As he points out, who knows for how long either Neumeier himself or Genrich will be able to play their instruments with the same degree of virtuosity which they command today. Still, while the pair of them are blessed with such rude health, feeling not a day older than 50, Mani was determined to give it everything one more time with his old colleague and record the results for posterity. Neumeier and the bassist Guy Segers got to know each other a good year earlier, when they played an improvised gig together with Makoto Kawabata (Acid Mothers Temple) and Daevid Allen (Gong) at the Zappanale Festival. They hit it off immediately, making Segers a logical choice for the Gurumaniax project. Four days in the studio, three at the mixing desk and the psychedelic diamond was finished. Some song fragments already existed, but most were spontaneous creations of the triumvirate in the studio. Recalling classic Guru Guru highlights such as UFO (1970), Hinten (1971) and KänGuru (1972), the trio launched themselves freely into improvisation, channelled through their psychedelic/progressive/avant-

Ainigma-Diluvium $23.00
Back in stock!
A fun, loud, heavy progressive hard rock album that was recorded in early 1973.  Includes two bonus tracks that total over 23', including a 18' instrumental! It gets sorta boring saying over and over again what a great job Garden of Delights do with their reissues, but, this is another great one by them.
"The group was founded in 1972 from Wolfgang Netzer and Michael Klüter and Ainigma exsisted for two years but they have only left for us this wonderful album. The original pressing is one of the hardest to find private releases that came out of Germany and collectors are paying nearly 300$ for the original. The sound of this three-piece is easy to describe: it's total heaviness, very very loud and simply great. I would compare them with Deep Purple or early Uriah Heep. It's organ-based heaviness but also very dreamy, for all those brothers who want to take a psychedelic journey. This album contains five very long tracks and one of my faves is the title-track that is over ten minutes long, where Ainigma are showing the musical abilities. But every track is a killer.The cover of the re-issue is different to the original, but still very fine and it's one of my favourite cover-artworks. When it comes to uncompromising German heavy rock, this is one of the best records of this time. It's sad that this killer band has only released one album." [Garden of Delights]

Antique Seeking Nuns-Careful! It's Tepid CDEP $10.00
Back in stock!
Third and final of three releases by this little-known, fine British quartet, consisting of: Joff Winks-guitar and vocals, Matt Baber-Fender Rhodes, synths and piano, Paul Mallyon-drums and Brad Waissman-bass. I was pointed in their direction by Steve Davis, Snooker champion and all around champion of progressive, prog music and he was right! "Right about what?", you may ask. That they were band that managed to take some of the most quintessencially 'British' (and to my mind, the most charming) aspects of UK progressive rock (think the song stylings of Richard Sinclair with Caravan or Hatfield or early Robert Wyatt) and graft them onto a more contemporary sound that is perhaps a bit more avant-progressive in nature as well as including influences that have nothing to do with 'progrock' (Tortoise! Flaming Lips!, etc), all leavened by some Zappa-ish instrumental complexity and assuredness. What do you have? A total winner. If you want the big story of this band (why they released 3 EPs over a 5 year period and why they have now decided to call themselves "Sanguine Hum"...then THIS is the place, because the booklet has 3 pages of tiny type explaining why they have done a bunch of things that are completely silly in terms of career. But more importantly, you get some really, really great music. Highly recommended!
"This five track EP, the final release in the bands Triple Burst saga, features some of the very best examples of the Nuns highly progressive instrumental compositions. Over the course of 20 minutes Careful! It’s Tepid unleashes all manner of instrumental combinations. A nostalgic string quartet blends with childlike glockenspiel and chiming guitars in The Foulness! The Stench! Deranged drums and vibraphone manically dance around slide guitar and distorted bass in Dead Cheese, and wobbly synth textures cushion what sounds like a chorus of mandolins and guitars as strange film dialogue interrupts the proceedings in The Bearded Bag Lady. Careful! It’s Tepid is also framed at either end by two songs, Leave Us A Message and Ointment For Flies, songs that are as strange and alien as they are weirdly approachable, especially in the sky high vocal melody of opening track Leave Us A Message that pleads for contact with alien life, or the unsettlingly macabre and epic closer Ointment for Flies. Careful! It’s Tepid makes a fitting finale for the Triple Burst trilogy and the Antique Seeking Nuns in general before the quartet (Joff Winks, Matt Baber, Brad Waissman & Paul Mallyon) bring together all their disparate influences and elements of past and present projects under the new band name Sanguine Hum."

Antique Seeking Nuns-Double Egg with Chips and Beans (and a Tea) CDEP $10.00
Back in stock!
Second of three releases by this little-known, fine British quartet, consisting of: Joff Winks-guitar and vocals, Matt Baber-Fender Rhodes, synths and piano, Paul Mallyon-drums and Brad Waissman-bass. I was pointed in their direction by Steve Davis, Snooker champion and all around champion of progressive, prog music and he was right! "Right about what?", you may ask. That they were band that managed to take some of the most quintessencially 'British' (and to my mind, the most charming) aspects of UK progressive rock (think the song stylings of Richard Sinclair with Caravan or Hatfield or early Robert Wyatt) and graft them onto a more conte mporary sound that is perhaps a bit more avant-progressive in nature as well as including influences that have nothing to do with 'progrock' (Tortoise!

If you want the big story of this band (why they released 3 EPs over a 5 year period and why they have now decided to call themselves "Sanguine Hum"...well, you'll have to buy "Careful, It's Tepid", their third and final release, which has 3 pages of tiny type explaining why they have done a bunch of things that are completely silly in terms of career, but which actually mean nothing to you or me. But if you want great music, just buy this! Highly recommended!
"Antique Seeking Nuns was a band project that existed between 2001 and 2009, initially based around the composing/performing duo of Joff Winks and Matt Baber and later expanding to include Paul Mallyon on Drums and Brad Waissman on Bass. The band released three EP’s that stylistically responded to the challenges laid down by artists such as Frank Zappa and Hatfield and the North: music that is cerebral yet heartfelt, often complicated yet still pushing melody to the centre stage, and perhaps most controversially, taking a surreal and understated approach to the lyrics and presentation, often humorous in effect but with no loss in creative impact.Although definitely influenced and perhaps defined by the past, Antique Seeking Nuns can be best viewed alongside artists such as Tortoise and the Flaming Lips: a post-rock group entirely and successfully absorbing its prog-rock influences into something new. An ever growing network of listeners continue to be drawn into the Nuns’ music by the aforementioned off-hand lyrical style of songs such as Double Egg and Little Machines which soften the blow of the more intense pieces such as Shatner’s Bassoon and Dead Cheese that set new standards in adventurous and demanding rock based composition."

Bakery-Momento $9.00
Back in stock! Special while they last - over 45% off the regular price of this psych/blues classic!
"Bakery is an Australian rock group from the early 70s with strong strains of blues and psychedelia in their music. Obviously influenced by the wave of late 60s/early 70s beat psych and early progressive rock, Bakery are often imitators or regurgitators of their influences. Momento is the band's second album and even though they were never around long enough to fully create their own sound, they were beginning to do so here. Strains of all sorts of groups inform Bakery's rock: Jefferson Airplane, Family, Procol Harum, and Traffic among many. Bakery are quite dynamic and dramatic with room for some great guitar, organ and flute solos. In fact, as powerful as the vocals are (they remind me a bit of John Mayall), it's these wonderful instrumental sections that really push this forward. True, the occasional boogie number/section might remind one of Pig Pen-era Grateful Dead, but these are all pretty few and far between. This is the sort of album one might call a proto-progressive, although by 1972, this sort of album was already starting to sound dated. To hell with it, I love this sort of thing. Side 2 in particular has some excellent jamming sections. This is one I'd love to see reissued."-Mike McLatchey/Gnosis [Radioactive]

Faithful Breath-Back on my Hill (expanded) $23.00
Back in stock!
"The first LP of Faithful Breath, ”Fading Beauty” from 1974, has meanwhile become a classic of symphonic rock and can definitely be recommended. In 1977/1978 they recorded their second album ”Back on my hill” - again including the mellotron - which was released only in 1980, on the Sky label. The long track on the flip side has been played in keeping with the first LP’s style. The first side consists of four shorter tracks already with some hard rock sounds - some few years later Faithful Breath should develop into a real hard rock and metal band. As a bonus track the CD includes ”Die Mörderbiene” (The killer bee) from their 12” EP which had also been released on Sky in 1980. The whole material, including the bonus track, has been drawn from the master tapes." [Garden of Delights]

Fotheringay-Essen 1970 $23.00
After leaving Fairport, Sandy Denny joined up with Trevor Lucas, Jerry Donahue, Pat Donaldson and Gerry Conway and recorded just one album, the beautiful, self-titled debut. It's considered one of the greatest releases of British folk-rock, but the band fell apart pretty quickly. Now comes this amazing discovery which has never even been hinted at!
"On Friday, October 23, 1970, they had a gig at the third Essen Pop & Blues festival in the Gruga Hall. The concert was then recorded semi-professionally by the presenter. Now, the tapes have been elaborately re-mastered by Fotheringay guitarist Jerry Donahue who got the most out of the sound that was technically possible. The complete concert is here." This is not a perfect sounding release - this isn't 48 track digital recording and it's definitely 'bootleg-quality' - but it's pretty good for what it is and especially for the time period and you can hear all the musicians and you can hear Sandy. So, conditionally recommended to British folk fans; if you love Sandy, this will hit the spot; it isn't like there are lots of new things to scratch that itch! [Garden of Delights/Thors Hammer]

Jean-Philippe Goude-Drones (expanded) $15.00
Back in stock!
This was the third solo album (but the first one most people have ever heard), originally released in 1980, by this excellent Weidorje/Richard Pinhas keyboardist/synthesist. It's an excellent, Zeuhl-ish progressive/fusion album and it features a wide number of great guests: François Auger, Didier Batard, Klaus Blasquiz, Michel Ettori, Patrick Gauthier, Alain and Yvon Guillard, François Ovide, Bernard Baganotti, Richard Pinhas, Gérard Prévost, Jean-Louis Rizet, David Rose, Kirk Rust, Patrick Tillman and others! I know that those names alone were enough to get the blood flowing of fans of French progressive rock! And it's an excellent album! Features a bonus track that was recorded for the album, but wouldn't fit, as well as a large, in depth booklet. Recommended!
"Goude’s proto-electronica cosmic loops and moog melodies now find themselves coupled with tough prog drum beats and other elements of rock music; "Drônes" mixes solo keyboard pieces like ‘Coma’ and ‘Duo’ with group oriented pieces: ‘Dies Irae’ is a Zeuhl rock scorcher; ‘Machine’ uses a string quartet as the foundation for synthesizer musings by Goude and Richard Pinhas; ‘Trepidanse’ is a playful piece for dueling synthesizers. Although the Weidorje influence is evident on some numbers, Jean-Philippe Goude takes his music well beyond the Zeuhl trend. He offers a very personal approach to music, which contributed to the album's initial success, and has ensured that its cult status has lasted until the present day." [Lion]

Various Artists-La Confiserie Magique: Groove Club Vol. 1 $16.00
Charming and entertaining and (of course) funny tracks from 'swingin' Paris', 1966-1971.
"Fabrice, 17 years old, is a minet, or to say it better, a mod from one of the posh neighbourhoods, the 16th district in Paris and such “golden ghettoes” as Auteuil, Neuilly and Passy. Fab’ likes to have his “ronron at the Dugstore”, as Dutronc sang it (an untranslatable wordplay on ronron, “cat food”, and a minet - “a kitten” - purring). Fabrice attends Henri IV prestigious high-school; his father, a businessman who made a fortune selling plastic flowers, and his mother, a former model from Jacques Fath, are never home – a cosy home indeed! With his Weston shoes, a slim-fitting suit by Renoma and his haircut modelled on those of Anglo-Saxons musicians appearing on French Eps, Fabrice dreams of Carnaby Street and the Sunset Strip. He is not alone: there’s his sister Stéphanie, 16, who wears a fringe, a mock Courrèges dress, a pink Shetland pullover and white boots. Stéphanie reads Salut Les Copains and Mademoiselle Age Tendre, which both fuel her passion for Françoise Hardy, Zouzou, Twiggy and the Beatles. The Groove Club is happy to present twenty-two records that we dug out as a tribute to Fabrice’s kinky faves. We imagine those magic years 1966-71 to have been as you can hear it here — truly decadent pop-sike, as beautiful as the cathedral of Evry... whether it's the arch-hippie Lolita taking us beyond the limits of pop music, singing songs which make one dream of Anicée Alvina riding her bicycle in a red dress... or whether it's sunny and stunning, or brooding and tinged with sadness.  And we sense that, paradoxical as it may seem, although we have imagined a parallel cosmos to the Grande Heures of pop culture, we are not far from the truth. Chock full of information, sharing Fabrice's story, as well as providing information about all of the tracks on this painstakingly curated volume of our celebrated Groove Club series.

Herd of Instinct-Heard of Instinct $13.00
FINALLY back in stock!
Djam Karet have started a new label not merely to release their own work but to be a real record label and release other artist's work. Good luck fellas! This include some really high profile guests like Gavin Harrison, Markus Reuter, Pat Mastelotto, etc. It's a very good King Crimson/Gordian Knot-styled, multi-guitar with multi-layers release that features a lot of really great Warr guitar stuff.
"In hot pursuit of the darkened, serpentine corridors of contemporary
instrumental Progressive Rock music comes Texas' own Herd of Instinct
and their 2011 debut CD. Four years in the making, this self-titled
release is truly for fans of King Crimson, Steve Tibbetts, Djam Karet
and big picture music. Pushing the limits of their own creativity, Herd of Instinct draws from a vast source of influences: multi-cultural music, literary clues, Horror and cinematic film scores, and obscure elements of Rock, Avant-garde, Electronic, Prog, and Psychedelic music. Recording sessions took place in Texas, North Carolina, and various global locations, from 2007-2010. As a live unit, Herd of Instinct performs as a trio, but during this recording process, the band decided to expand into a large-scale entity featuring many guest musicians including Dave Streett, whose secret treaties with such luminaries as Jerry Marotta (Peter Gabriel), Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, XTC), Gayle Ellett (Djam Karet), Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree), and Markus Reuter (Tuner) helped bring these all-star musicians into the Herd.  The results are very provocative as evidenced by such songs as "Room Without Shadows," the lysergic "Road To Asheville," the schizoid-frenzy of "Anamnesis," the pagan majesty of "Hex," and the beautiful "Blood Sky" (the albums' lone vocal piece, courtesy of Kris Swenson). With looping samples provided by Steve Tibbetts, impeccable production, deep compositions, and impressive performances by all of the musicians involved, Herd of Instinct is a well-crafted, landmark debut album."

La Maquina Cinematica-Musica para Pantallas Vacias $16.00
Charming, unexpected and over-all pretty wonderful chamber rock ensemble from Argentina, led by composer and pianist Exequiel Mantega. The basic group consists of piano, clarinet, cello and drums, but on most tracks there is additional instrumentation from some combination of violin, flute, oboe, bass and/or guitar. Such a wonderful sound and a sound that there's so little of in this world. Doesn't sound a bit like them, but if you like Julverne, Univers Zero, Louise Avenue, Aranis, etc, you'll love this. Highly recommended!
"The musical treatment is specifically chamber music, as the compositions are written for different groups of acoustic instruments.
The album "Music for Empty Screens" is a sample of the different instrumentations that can use the music of this composer...The style of music contained in these works are part of a genre rather "cinema", with colors of Argentine folklore, the tango, and other influences of the music of Uruguay and Brazil, which influenced the music of Buenos Aires some time thus giving rise to a new style concept within this genre."

Nick Millevoi-Black Figure of a Bird $11.00
"Nick is co-leader of the avant-garde punk-jazz trio Many Arms and with trombonist Dan Blacksberg co-leads the new music duo Archer Spade, who have recently performed works by Roscoe Mitchell and Dave Soldier. Nick is also a member of progressive chamber-pop collective Make A Rising and Hassidic punk band Electric Simcha. As a sideman, Nick has toured with Fugazi bassist Joe Lally, and performed with Gene Coleman, Glenn Branca, and many others. Nick composes regularly for his groups and has also composed a series of six improvisation-based pieces called SHREDfest for various instrumentations, culminating in the release, SHREDfest V by Tiger Asylum Records. Of his work with Many Arms, writer Phil Freeman recently wrote in Burning Ambulance: 'Guitarist Nick Millevoi takes Greg Ginn's misshapen, barbed-wire soloing style as a starting point and injects doses of Derek Bailey, Sonny Sharrock and Mick Barr (Orthrelm, Octis, Krallice) for good measure. He's a fierce player who knows his way around a riff and can tie himself, and the listener, in knots with his contorted, passionate soloing.' Black Figure of a Bird consists of a series of pieces written for the twelve-string electric guitar based upon various alternate tunings. The songs range from the lush and sprawling melodicism of "What Sunlight Does Make It Through” to the noisy, treble-heavy assault of "Bruxer” to the spacious harmonic meditation, "Nothing Forms A Liquid.” The album was masterfully recorded by Philadelphia-based guitarist and engineer, Eric Carbonara. Millevoi recently toured the east coast alongside Toronto-based guitarist Colin Fisher, and has shared bills with Nat Baldwin, Eugene Chadbourne, and Matta Gawa. Brian Rademaekers of Philly.com wrote that Nick's music, 'Bends the perceived limits of the instrument into some twisted places using open tunings and a passionate attack on the frets.'"

Missus Beastly-Dr. Aftershave and the Mixed-Pickles (expanded) $23.00
Very long awaited, first-ever CD release of the third Missus Beastly album. After their great, self-titled, Gorilla-adorned, Germany jazz/rock classic second album, there were a lot of changes in personnel, with more and more overlap with the musicians of Embryo, but the quality of the band and their work remained high.
"Dr. Aftershave and the mixed-pickles” was Missus Beastly’s third album, which once more presented some mostly instrumental, solid jazz rock. It was at the same time the first album to be released on April, the new self-distributed label run by Missus Beastly, Ton Steine Scherben, Embryo, and Sparifankal. The LP was recorded in the well-known Stuttgart Zuckerfabrik studio (a former sugar refinery) at the beginning of 1976. The two CD bonus tracks were recorded at the Vlotho festivals in 1976 and 1977. At that time, they were presented on the annual festival lp." [Garden of Delights]

The Salt Lake City Electric Ensemble-In C (artist-released CDR) $9.00 (special)
This is a very electronic, laptop-based rendition of this seminal classic and very adaptable work. Very spacey, low-key ambiance gives this a feel like Klaus Schulze and Radio Massacre International doing their version of this great piece! Beautifully laid back and contemplative. This version is getting a lot of buzz with some people calling it the best version ever; I might not disagree. Highly, highly recommended!
Classics of Western music, almost inevitably, recall a certain time and place...Terry Riley's In C is no exception: it recalls the heady, hallucinogen-powered atmosphere of San Francisco during the age of improvisation and experimentation of every type. Because so many works of twentieth-century music were sui generis--and In C is certainly that--it's hard, sometimes, to decide whether or not they evoke a time and place as an element of collective cultural imagination. The Salt Lake Electric Ensemble has addressed this problem head-on in this new and extremely exciting release of Riley's best-known work. Performing on laptops, they aim to update the work and make it speak for a generation of people brought up on the sounds and expression of what I'll call vernacular electronic music. The instruments permit all manner of timbral changes, all sorts of fascinating overlappings, all sorts of compelling rhythmic patterns--much of which, by the way, occurs in real time captured by the recording and not simply programmed in advance. The complicated patterns, in particular, are implicit in Riley's instructions for the work but difficult to realize with an ensemble of musicians with conventional instruments. The result of their work is nothing short of a revelation. They take a slower tempo than customary, which already nudges the piece in the direction of ambient or hip-hop music; percussion appears at certain selected points and sounds remarkably appropriate...while other times there's barely a sense of beat at all; the sounds produced by the instruments are truly contemporary most of the time (one hilarious, very analog-sounding sound is chosen for one of In C's most outre, absurd melodies, and both work to positively reinforce each other). Best of all, the artists of the ensemble have a questing, experimental approach, constantly pushing for new and surprising effects over the hour-long course of the performance. Someday, as more critics and scholars talk about the importance of improvisation (as opposed to fully notated music) in the composition of this time, Terry Riley--alongside many others--will be understood as making a decisive contribution to music history. The Salt Lake Electric Ensemble's recording of In C is already the most important addition to the discography since the premiere recording, and will likewise be recognized as part of a performance tradition that is a vital and remarkably apt expression of the present cultural moment." – Rob Haskins/American Record Guide [SLEE]

Sanguine Hum-Diving Bell $16.00
Don't know Sanguing Hum? Sure you do! It's the Antique Seeking Nuns under a new name with a bit of a new direction, but also with their basic sound intact. I was turned onto these guys by Steve Davis, Snooker champion and all around champion of progressive, prog music and he was right! "Right about what?", you may ask. That they were band that managed to take some of the most quintessentially 'British' (and to my mind, the most charming) aspects of UK progressive rock (think the song stylings of Richard Sinclair with Caravan or Hatfield or early Robert Wyatt) and graft them onto a more contemporary sound as well as including influences that have nothing to do with 'progrock' (Flaming Lips!, etc). What do you have? A total winner. Highly recommended.
Joff Winks – vocals, guitars, drum programming and samples
Matt Baber – Rhodes, synthesizer, percussion, mini drum kit
Paul Mallyon – drums, percussion, mini drum kit
Brad Waissman – bass
"Diving Bell is the first album by Sanguine Hum. This band is a continuation of two earlier bands, Antique Seeking Nuns and the Joff Winks Band, both of which (confusingly) shared the same personnel. Anyone familiar with those two will therefore have expectations. Although allegedly representing a slightly more commercial stance, the Joff Winks band was equally as progressive as the Antique Seeking Nuns, whose latter EPs ("Double Egg with Chips and Beans” and "Careful, it’s Tepid) were massive prog faves of mine over the last two years. The Joff Winks Band’s marvelous "Milo” (from their album Songs for Days) being easily as beautiful and engaging as anything on those two EP releases. All these records are characterised by effortlessly shifting time signatures, by tasteful retro synth motifs, chiming Rhodes (by the bucket load), by guitar work alternatively intricate and virtuoso, and -shock horror- melodic too! The latter frequently absent in modern progressive rock....I guess you can see, I like this band, and I like this album. I suggest you have a listen too."-Nick Loebner [Troopers for Sound]

Sunbirds-Sunbirds (expanded) $23.00
Ferdinand Povel (flute), Philip Catherine (guitar), Fritz Pauer (piano, organ), Jimmy Woode (bass), Klaus Weiss (drums).
First-ever reissue of this obscure BASF 1971 release of jazz/rock (early for jazz/rock on the continent). Sunbirds were a rather surprising conglomeration of younger and older players. Crack in the Cosmic Egg says that it feels "like a spacey Embryo cum Miles Davis"; not a bad place to be!
"The fusion group Sunbirds was founded by the jazz musicians Klaus Weiss (drums) and Fritz Pauer (keyboards) in Munich in 1971, when the two of them had already made a name for themselves. They got Ferdinand Povel on flute, Jimmy Woode on bass and the world-famous guitarist Philip Catherine to join them. Due to their good connections, they soon signed a contract with the then newly-founded BASF label. The LP was released in that same year of 1971, simply under the name of “Sunbirds”. The two previously unreleased bonus tracks are from the same master tapes as the album tracks and were recorded at the same time." [Garden of Delights]

Sündenfall II-Sündenfall II $23.00
Back in stock!
Sündenfall II from the Kevelaer area at the Lower Rhine played a mixture of folk and jazz, influenced by Jethro Tull. While their predecessors, Sündenfall, exclusively dedicated themselves to jazz, the group included folk after a change in line-up and band name (following the example of Amon Düül II). In 1972, Hubert Schmitz invited the band into his Trepitia film and sound studio in Alpen-Drüpt for free recordings, as he wanted to test the newly installed equipment after a recent move into the new location. Thus the recordings were made for the album "Sündenfall II" (Trefiton HS 1017), which was released in a small edition of 200 copies at the end of 1972. Today it is sold at a price of about €500 to €1000 in mint condition. [Garden of Delights]

Surgery-Ubermorgen (expanded) $23.00
Back in stock!
"There are loads of jazz-rock LPs from around 1980. So one could ask oneself why any more of them should be released on CD at all. "Übermorgen" ("The day after tomorrow") by Surgery, however, certainly belongs to the better ones of this genre: sparkling piano runs, contemplative sax parts, a masterly played electric guitar, many good ideas, and a clear and good recording make the album an auditory pleasure. To those detered from German lyrics: Don't worry, the Marl group did without any vocals. At that time, a small edition of 500 copies was released by the artists themselves. It should remain their only album. In collectors' circles it is little known until the present day. The CD was drawn from the master tapes, and the ten bonus tracks of the same style were as yet unreleased." [Garden of Delights]

Robin Taylor-Deutsche Schule $8.00 (special)
"Taylor's 2006 release is an Art Rock album, that blends Kraut with avant-garde. Very atmospheric, repetitive and - not at least - humorous. A great variety of toy- and 'professional' keyboards go hand in hand with Karsten Vogel's saxophones, together with human voices, machines and sound processions. The music on this much acclaimed CD was inspired by some of the freakier German Krautrock artists of the 70s. "

"Violeta de Outono´s seventh studio album, "Volume 7" brings a totally renewed sound, featuring Hammond Organ and analog timbres. Recorded live in the studio, this album introduces new members Fernando Cardoso (keyboards) and Gabriel Costa (bass) along with Fabio Golfetti (guitar and vocals) and Claudio Souza (drums). On this album the band keeps on developing their own style, using influences from English bands from the 70's (Camel/Caravan/Soft Machine), with special attention on the Hammond organ. The album features eight new songs, full of lyricism and psychedelia, and includes as a bonus, a .mpg studio video clip. Warmly welcomed by international specialized critics, the album, with its beautiful instrumental passages, is already regarded as one of the band´s best efforts.

Marc Barreca-Subterrane $6.60
"Composed with layers of computer processed, chopped and looped sounds including samples from field recordings, as well as studio recordings of accordion and other acoustic and electronic instruments Subterrane merges acoustic with electronic sensibilities into a singular music of timbral and textural sleight-of-hand. Source sounds include trains, subways, glass bottles, bamboo and bronze percussion instruments, rattles, and other folk instruments. For "Twilight Reprise” samples from his 1980 Palace of Lights album, Twilight, are recycled and reprocessed. Other pieces also include recycled slices from previous live and studio recordings but bear little resemblance to the earlier pieces from which they are borrowed. Mastered by Taylor Deupree."

K. Leimer-Closed System Potentials $6.60
"Leimer uses piano tape loops, moog synths, guitars and other things to weave his spells of tranquility. It's easy to compare him to Eno but it would be unfair to say that "CSP" is Enoesque because he gives it a quality that is entirely his own founding. Unhurried portals of music linger awhile...then drift away. The most disappointing point for me was the pressing...If ever there was music for the cosmos, this is it. Serene machines indeed. Never boring like so much of the Fripp-Eno loop sequences here is a cycle of infinitely moving parts, an album where every track is interesting to hear without resorting to any electronic trickery which must be really tempting at times. Overall a graceful album of rare beauty."-Contemporary Keyboard [Palace of Lights]

K. Leimer-Degraded Certainties $6.60
"Extensively manipulated audio files, layered elements combined from multiple versions of shared sources, edited, reshaped envelopes and extended periods of dust collecting resulted in six pieces of minimalist / process music. Layered by arbitrarily ordering differing tone clusters at differing durations then articulated by differing voices degraded certainties uses signal reprocessing as the principal technique in determining the music’s timbre and form. Ranging in temper from the elegiac "hommage” to the steady-state "angoisse” and the referential "allotropy”, degraded certainties abandons drone and ambient by emphasizing fuller contrasts, shifts in character and a deeply detailed soundfield. With contributions from Gregory Taylor and Taylor Deupree." [Palace of Lights]

K. Leimer-Imposed Order $6.60
"...K. Leimer creates similar sound mosaics, albeit with a greater dynamic range and rhythmic drive. He’s been putting out records since 1979 on his Palace of Lights label, sort of a Windham Hill of electronic music. As a Brian Eno disciple, Leimer is also concerned with shaping sound via tape, but he also uses the synthesizer. Imposed Order alternates between a tropical hi-tech sound of pounding percussion-loop rhythms and zooming Doppler effects within atmospheric tone poems. A lone guitar chord, a whispering flue tone, a chorus of train whistles crying down an infinite tunnel – these are the fragments from which Leimer constructs his music. Leimer details each sonic adventure as carefully as Tolkien detailed his Middle Earth. There’s an organic feel to Leimer’s music, and a sense that living beings exist here, however alien."-John Diliberto/Downbeat [Palace of Lights]

K. Leimer-Lesser Epitomes $6.60
Another handsomely packaged album of ambient music by this U.S. pioneer of the style.
"Lesser Epitomes is process music for active or passive listening. The pieces are derived from the aleatoric reordering of discreet, compatible musical components in relationships that emulate typical theme and variation. The end results were reprocessed into deliberately modified versions or left as is. The three principal pieces are indexed for random shuffle during replay. Such random reordering is recommended. Principal voicing for all the pieces derive from "Nine Approximations" which is built on cello, viola and oboe. "Nonadaptive Layers" and "Naïve Music" utilize fragments from "Nine Approximations" in addition to signal reprocessing, field recordings and synthesized voices."
"Taken as a whole 70-minute body of music or dissecting the 21 individual parts, Lesser Epitomes is a textured collection of sound that has much more to offer than most releases in the electronic/ambient/drone genre. In other words, there's much more than your standard background music here. Pull up a chair on your front porch the next time you have a clear, starry night, pour yourself a nice glass of wine, crank up Lesser Epitomes, and let your mind roam."-Pete Pardo, Sea of Tranquility [Palace of Lights]
http://www.waysidemusic.com/Music-Products/Leimer--K---Lesser-Epitomes__POL0704.aspx

K. Leimer-The Listening Room CDR $6.60
"As pure, unadulterated ambient music, Leimer’s new disc, The Listening Room, acquits itself admirably, a plaintive, resonant balance of questing tones and beauteous drones that is a cousin in many respects to Steve Roach’s Quiet Music. Both recordings drink deep of spartan, contemplative moods, and both successfully invoke remembrance, yearning, reflection and melancholy – warm, lovely, the sensibilities on display here resolve themselves in a studied, even ‘classical’ manner. Then on Brittle Soft, his other 2002 outing, Leimer mixes his metaphors with guitarist Tyler Boley, whose echoes of Richard Pinhas burnishes the icy-smooth surfaces with a markedly chrome sheen. It appears Leimer’s migrating from formerly translucent territory; this is ambient with teeth."-Darren Bergstein [Palace of Lights]
http://www.waysidemusic.com/Music-Products/Leimer--K---The-Listening-Room-CDR__POL19-prd-2002.aspx

K. Leimer-Statistical Truth $6.60
"K. Leimer, that neglected minimalist soundscaper is back with another smartly-packaged record, and it's a dandy, the sort of disc that begs the question as to why he isn't one of the Nobel Laureates of ambient already. Self-released on Leimer's own Palace of Lights label, Statistical Truth - or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Heavenly Music Corporation - inverts the fundamental role models of the last 25 years (Eno, and with Fripp, plus Hassell, Debussey, and Satie) and in so doing, recalibrates them to destigmafy the modern drone while repelling the new age. It's a tight balance, but Leimer and his one-man arsenal of electronics pulls it off with the delicate touch of a glass-blower and sharp eye of a diamond jeweler. Yes, these preening, stately drones are practically opulent, as if radiating bright light from within that's reflected back and then back again, the currents set into motion by brusque synthetic tradewinds. The sparse tonal hues of "Requiem Fields," "Usable Spectrum," even the clacking rhythms, weird modular squiggles and urgent bass inebriating "Anterior"'s mesas doesn't upset the disc's sense of wondrous longing throughout. Truth be told, this is music that positively aches."-Maxwell Oz/EI magazine [Palace of Lights]

K. Leimer-The Useless Lesson $6.60
Sixth album, in beautiful low-key packaging, by this ambient electronic pioneer.
"The Useless Lesson includes collaborations with Leo Abrahams, (solo artist and guitarist on Brian Eno’s Another Day on Earth) Dwight Ashley (Nepenthe artist) and phonographer Anode. The music is comprised of constructed and deconstructed pieces juxtaposed to disclose the contrasts and commonality of organizing and recognizing sound. To emphasize the attractions and repulsions of these two poles the ensembles used in each case differ broadly. The constructed – composed – pieces are mostly for string trio and are traditional and surface-oriented, placing their emphasis on the interaction of separate voices. Set in contrast with collaborative, steady-state and hybrid pieces which are heuristic, synthetic and process-derived – deconstructed – to form a solid, gapless atmosphere of densely packed voices that listeners may or may not wish to de-strand...music of The Useless Lesson is mostly derived from considering the differences in acting on those things that are learned and acting on more spontaneous impulses."
"Elegant and dreamy, The Useless Lesson teaches listeners that — with proper balance and vision — experimental electronic and contemporary classical music can, indeed, reside on the same aural plane. In fact, in Leimer’s hands, the union makes perfect sense."-Michael Popke/Sea of Tranquility [Palace of Lights]

K. Leimer/Savant-The Neo-Realist (at Risk) $6.60
"The spectre of Eno also looms over K. Leimer and his Palace of Lights crew from Seattle who make up Savant. Many of the same techniques are used, but instead of ritual trances, Savant has developed a pan-ethnic techno-dub music. Origins are blurred on Shadow In Deceit with African percussion bouncing across the stereo field while the guitars make like Japanese kotos and chimes. Using Words has a backwards vocal track played over a Moroccan rhythm with bent, carnival-mirror guitars. Throughout, electronic and acoustic sounds are clouded through a maze of unidentified taped sounds that fade in and out of the mix. It’s centered by throbbing ostinato bass lines and punchy, syncopated percussives."-John Diliberto [Palace of Lights]

Steve Peters-Occasional Music $6.60
"All of this music was either made for various collaborative projects, or eventually found its way into them. None of it is much like the work I usually do on my own, but this is why I enjoy working on assignment: externally imposed parameters lead to unexpected results."
"..stunningly gorgeous. This is music that emphatically does not attempt seduction; it is reticent, modest, and requires attentiveness. For that reason alone, it is truly beautiful... Peters’ music has in abundance what I miss in so much new American music: strong commitment to an aesthetic goal, and adherence to that goal without compromise." – Evan Johnson, Sequenza21/
"The music is unadorned and plain-spoken, with no artifice whatsoever." – Raymond Tuttle, Classical Net
"Peters’s approach to melody and harmony...offers the striking purity of renaissance polyphony; a rigorous attention to the effects of moving and simultaneous intervals. Indeed, behind the West Coast spaciousness of this work, there seems to lurk the mind of a composer as scientific and intellectual in approach as American progenitor Charles Ives." – Kevin Macneil Brown, Dusted [Palace of Lights]

Gregory Taylor-Amalgam: Aluminum/Hydrogen $6.60
This is a beautifully packaged and presented album of a bit noisy and extremely cool ambient music. This was recorded in a single live performance in Madison, WI in 2006.
"When two cultures meet it can be a collision or a marriage. Gregory Taylor’s deep, 25-year love affair with the music of Java has evolved into a new synthesis of tradition and innovation, moving way beyond imitation into an uncharted wilderness. Amalgam begins with bell-like tones in a digital approximation of a gamelan, but gradually veers into long, non-percussive synthesizer tones, in slendro scales, with structures as informed by Basil Kirchin or Philip Glass as gamelan. This completely unique cross-polination is subtle and rich, paradoxically evoking the beauty and languidity of Indonesian culture while delving increasingly into noisy and discordant synthesizer voices. It is remarkable how the spirit of Java remains intact as the music progresses from tradition to sublime innovation."-Robert Carlberg
"His first CD for PoL, Amalgam: Aluminum / Hydrogen proves to be a marriage of buoyancy and structure. It is a single unedited recording of a live improvised performance by a radiaL virtuoso that unites the tunings and epicyclic forms of gamelan music that characterized Taylor’s 80s cassette culture releases with the timbres and aural surfaces of glitch, ambient and lowercase musics." [Palace of Lights]
http://www.waysidemusic.com/Music-Products/Taylor--Gregory---Amalgam--AluminumHydrogen__POL0702.aspx

Gregory Taylor-Dua Belas $6.60
I don't know anything about Taylor, but I gotta say that this is one of the very best ambient sound CDs I have heard in a very long time.
"dua_belas' title — Indonesian for "the twelve” — and tracknames hints at what awaits within before even the first moment that separates it from silence: imagined territories of otherness. Although Gregory Taylor returns to the tunings and reticulated surfaces that marked his first Palace of Lights release Amalgam: Aluminum / Hydrogen, this collection live and studio work constitutes varied interwoven vignettes that describe a new and different landscape altogether — a postcolonial steampunk orchestra of the Royal Courts whose graceful retinue of real/virtual/analog/digital synthesizers accompany a shadow play of appropriated tales that shimmer, grind, twist and morph in the humming air." [Palace of Lights]
