Prog rock LP reissues

After concentrating on selling original collectable prog/psych/beat vinyl arachnidrecords.com are branching out into the reissue market. Our first four reissues are on the Golden Pavilions label which specialise in rare overlooked late 60's and 70's psychedelic, progressive, acid-folk & art-rock music. Well worth a listen. Details are listed below:

UNIVERIA ZEKT- The Unnamables- (FRANCE 1971) GP1005LP- A mythical MAGMA album recorded in 1971, during the “1000 centigrades” period. The album aims at introducing wider audiences to the Zeuhl feel, with a less hermetic sound, favoring a more groovy jazz-rock approach. Features the vocalist of ERGO SUM on one track as well as Tito Puentes on trumpet, otherwise this is pretty much the same line-up as in their previous album. A few dreamy moments with acoustic guitar and flutes (the track “Clementine”), and other typically dense moments with pulsating bass lines, mad sax and weird Vander screams punctuated by furious drumming with a groovy edge. Fully licensed exact reissue in gatefold cover and 180gm. Limited to 600 copies in black vinyl . Comes with newly designed coloured labels.

VESPERO- Liventure #21- (RUSSIA- 2010) GPS001LP- First release in Golden Pavilion’s new “Silver line”. A southern Russian wonder band formed in Astrakhan, playing a blend of dark psychedelic and prog textures with delightful spacey sounding instrumental passages and an underlying krautrock feel. This is the new official live album that features the instrumental highlights of the band's various stage performances in the course of 2009. This collector’s vinyl edition includes an extra track not available anywhere else. Especially mastered for this edition by Alisa Coral (a brain-master of SPACE MIRRORS and PSI CORPS) Limited vinyl release of 300 copies in stunning original artwork by ZonderZond, with mouth-watering gold foil & textured cover.

YVES RAKOTOMALALA- Ce matin encore- (FRANCE- 1981) GP1008LP- Yves Rakotomalala from the acclaimed “Yves, Serge & Victor” album “Cagibi” recorded this elusive album a few years after he left the group. Musically we are in the same vein as “Cagibi”: A delicate fragile westcoast-tinged psych-folk with acoustic/ electric backing & amazing vocals, very close in sound and style to Neil Young in his “After the gold rush” period. Every track is excellent with one side sung in English and the other in French. Originally released as a private pressing of 200 units. This is a fully licensed exact reissue limited to just 300 copies in black vinyl . Comes with newly designed color labels.
