"Emile Jacotey is a clear step back from Ange's great third album Au-delà du délire. That's a fantastic symphonic prog album but Emile Jacotey doesn't reach the quality of it's predecessor. That still doesn't mean this is a bad album. Most of the songs are nice but in my opinion this album includes too much vocals. Musically the album is good but there is just simply too much mediocre singing.
Overall I think that Emile Jacotey is just about as good as Ange's first two albums. These are all pretty...

This is a live rendition of Ange’s last album, Heureuse, and more, live which includes a DVD of the performance. Recorded live, May 18 2019 in Nancy France.

“Starting from their '72 debut, the original member Christian Decamps (vocals) has developed “Rock Theatre”, and this legendary French band that continues to be active even today.
Both CDs and DVDs include video / sound sources of performances performed in France and Nancy in May 19th. At the noble venue where symphony concerts and...

The band's 5th album and another one of their greats. This one is from 1976. "Comparisons to Genesis and Van der Graaf Generator are pretty much moot. Ange are undoubtedly the most influential French symphonic group, and like Genesis, King Crimson or Y...

Nice compilation of great material at a good price!

"Known best as an experimental guitarist, with his ‘‘Giant’ Sardinian guitar – which has a large mechanical claw stuck to the side of its body (to pluck counter melodies), piano-like hammers operated by pedals (to strike the strings), extra strings crossing the main strings at right angles with yet another set of sitar strings mounted on the body, a rope, a viola bridge - which holds yet more strings - and thirteen pickups and microphones which can separately amplify all the elements, sending them to...

"An amazing record. It's beautifully recorded and almost impossible to believe that such a layered and polyphonic music, with chords, percussion, lead lines, bass lines, harmonies, string sections and sometimes voice could all be produced by one person in real time, without overdubs or loops. But it is. The instrument, a specially designed and augmented Sardinian guitar (almost the size of a cello) is equipped with motors, pedals, individual string mic'ing, and extra appendages; and of course there are...

"Another extraordinary release by Sardinian virtuoso Paolo Angeli, this time featuring compositions by Fred Frith and Bjork – all played solo in real time (though when you hear it, it’s hard to believe it) on his highly customised and extended, electrified, giant Sardinian folk guitar. A tour de force of technique and at the same time highly musical; and there is so much going on here at any given time that it is difficult to relate what your ears tell you to just one Frankenstein instrument. Dense...

Just as fabulous as you would hope!

“A meeting that had to happen: the clash of tradition and experiment has been the distinguishing signature style of both protagonists, and they aren’t holding back on this rather unusual record.
Paulo’s virtuosity - and his customised, cello-sized, extended and prepared Sardinian guitar - designed to do several things at once, some of them hardly believable – engages head-on with Iva’s extended violin and take no-prisoners vocalising. Professional....

First ever reissue from the original master tapes!

“Reissue of the 1970 krautrock classic. The timing was right: Five years earlier would have been too early, five years later would have been too late. But Annexus Quam from Kamp-Lintfort near Düsseldorf came along with the right music at the right moment.
The seven-piece band formed in 1967 as Ambition Of Music; they were what was then called a "beat group." In 1970, working with a local trombone choir led to a dramatic change of direction...

This is one of the most vividly surreal albums I've ever listened to and I ain't complaining about that one damn bit.

“Ant-Bee indeed is left in obscurity, his recorded work are reflective of the psychedelic era of the 1960's. Primarily Ant-Bee's début, 'Pure Electric Honey' is mainly a psychedelic pop album in substance, which makes it easier to listen to, due to the sounds and melodies, that are excellently performed and palatable to anyone. Though after the first song (excluding Intro)...

“Taking the electric music of Miles Davis as its starting point, Anthropology Band is about finding the atmosphere through a deep rhythm, a searing blues run, a delicate melody, or a cascading solo statement. Band leader Martin Archer has kept the music as simple as possible – often driven by the bassline – and the structures loose, to enable this who’s who of UK creative musicians to let the music breathe in a different way each time it is played. There are multiple chordal instruments in the centre of...

A Norwegian band with a heavy take on progressive rock. Reminiscent of Sonambulist, but possibly even heavier!

No machines were harmed in the making of Relics, Antistatic’s first full-length release. In fact, no machines were used, beyond those necessary to record this young Danish quartet’s music. The precision and intricacy of the band’s carefully stacked rhythms might suggest that loopers and drum machines played some part in Relics’ creation, an
